Traditions and Trajectories in the Spatial Humanities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chorography is a tradition of cultural inquiry that uses geography as a framework for considering the relationship between the present and the past. The purpose of the symposium was to explore chorography as a theoretical and methodological approach and to consider its relevance to current trends in geographically informed humanities scholarship. The symposium brought together perspectives from historians, geographers, and literary scholars. Collectively, we explored classic chorographical texts and key locations, as well as more recent examples, to consider how chorographical practices can inform new approaches and resources for humanities research.<\/p>\n
