Recent modernist scholarship has been concerned with tying textual and historical claims to the specificity of place. Through this renewed interest, we see a continued interest within modernist studies in new literary frameworks that move outward in their scale and scope. Postcolonial theorists have argued for a return to the scale of the geological and geographical in the “Anthropocene” era. Whether the impetus arises from postcolonial studies, Marxist critical geography, ecocriticism, or posthumanist approaches to geography, a number of contemporary frameworks aim to chart new geographies for literary studies in the literal and figurative senses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
