| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The overall theme for this three-year research project was literary geography and the specific focus was literary geographies of testimony. In our collaborative work on literary geography generally, we continued to consolidate its historiographical, theoretical and methodological framework. Work on the literary geography of testimony, meanwhile, focused on written records of geographies of violence and the historical geography of the holocaust. In this phase, members opened up two significant new lines of work in literary geography. The first has to do with literary geographies of sound and auralisation, a line of work developed in relation to recent work in cultural geography on sound and rhythm in landscape and place. The second has to do with the spatial historiography of the holocaust, developed in connection with work in English-language human geography on the politics of negativity and negation, survivor testimonies, and tourist testimony at sites of violence.
