Creating a chronotopic ground for the mapping of literary texts: innovative data visualisation and spatial interpretation in the digital medium

This project will digitally map and create 3D worlds of literary texts to facilitate full exploration of literary time and place. How to spatialise literary texts is a problem that Sally Bushell, head of the department of English and creative writing at Lancaster, had been pondering. ¡°The difficulty was how to do it in a way that was integrated with the text itself and how to categorise different kinds of fictional world that might not map on to actual places,¡± she said. ¡°Then I?was working on [Mikhail] Bakhtin¡¯s concept of the chronotope and I?realised that it offered a model that could work. In short though, I?wanted to develop the concept before someone else thought of it. We hope to advance understanding of fictional space and place by uniting the verbal representation of place and space in the fictional world with mapping and exploring it in a digital environment.¡±
