This interdisciplinary conference
investigates the relationships between
architectural and literary constructions
of space. It will explore the influence of
spatial theories within literary texts;
consider how writers evoke and
represent a sense of place; and invite
new perspectives on the aesthetic,
physical, and social functions of texts in
the design, production and consumption
of the built environment. The conference
also aims to discuss these insights within
the context of Glasgow. The social and
performance events — to include a
champagne reception at the City
Chambers, a walking tour of the
Necropolis, a trip down the Clyde, and
visits to the old industrial and residential
areas of the city — will encourage
participants to reflect on the connections
between their ‘academic’ and other uses
of text and space.
