Digital Cartography and Feminist Geocriticism in Literary Studies: A Proposal

Abstract

This paper attempts a brief literature review through the history of literary maps to recent digital mappings, exploring geocriticism as an emerging literary theory in spatial humanities. The paper investigates the ways in which digital literary maps could be used in feminist criticism as feminist geocriticism to develop new ways in reading and analysing feminist texts. It also aims to propose "feminist geocriticism"as a methodology by which this intersection can be effectively utilized to identify and analyze the relations between the different socio-cultural female identities ("intersectionality"of Kimberley Crenshaw [4]) and space. © 2021 ACM.
