Monstrous Geographies by Sarah Montin PDF Summary

Book Description: Monsters fascinate. But the place where monsters dwell, or monstrous acts grow or are carried out, also evokes our profound curiosity. Set apart from humanity while holding up a mirror to it, the monster always lurks in the margins, be they geographical, political, social, or metaphorical. This book explores spatial monstrosities - especially around the boundaries. From portrayals of hostile nature that bear witness to the ways in which history and conflict haunt the imaginations and memory of nations, to the disturbing idea of the monster within, burrowed deep inside houses, secretly dwelling in gardens and miscroscopic places, and most terrifyingly, in our own bodies and souls. Each chapter contributes a distinct voice to notions of politics of space, aesthetics of space, intimacies of space and ethics of space. These are the places where the first shadow of darkness is cast among us, and it is indeed monstrous.
