<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial">Edited by Surekha Davies (Western Connecticut
State University) and Asa Simon Mittman (California State University, Chico).
Editorial board: Ricardo Padrón (University of Virginia), Ayesha Ramachandran
(Yale University) and Dan Terkla (Illinois Wesleyan University).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This innovative series seeks monographs and essay collections that
investigate how notions of space, geography, and mapping shaped medieval and
early modern cultures. While the history of cartography has traditionally
focused on internal developments in European mapping conventions and
technologies, pre-modern scribes, illuminators, and printers of maps tended to
work in multiple genres. Spatial thinking informed and was informed by multiple
epistemologies and perceptions of the order of nature. <i>Maps, Spaces, Cultures</i> therefore integrates the study of
cartography and geography within cultural history. It puts genres that
reflected and constituted spatial thinking into dialogue with the cultures that
produced and consumed them, as well as with those they represented.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The editors welcome submissions from scholars of the histories
of art, material culture, colonialism, exploration, ethnography (including that
of peoples described as monsters), encounters, literature, philosophy,
religion, science and knowledge, as well as of the history of cartography and
related disciplines. They encourage interdisciplinary submissions that cross
traditional historical, geographical, or methodological boundaries, that include
works from outside Western Europe and outside the Christian tradition, and that
develop new analytical approaches to pre-modern spatial thinking, cartography,
and the geographical imagination.  </p>
