This module examines the literary representation of sociocultural patterns of everyday movement and activity that have escaped, or actively evaded, the disciplinary spatial practices and functionalist management strategies of different historical systems of power to constitute vibrant, translocal and transnational cultures of modernity. Addressing histories of forced removal and transportation, restriction of movement and regulation of travel, and the demarcation of cities and nation-states that embodies both unequal socioeconomic relations and distortions of historical memory and public space, the module will explore the ethics and politics of real and imagined, alternative geographies of justice and liberation in light of various influential interdisciplinary, literary-geographical approaches.
