Geographical Aesthetics places the terms aesthetics and geography under critical question together; responding both to the increasing calls from within geography to develop a geographical aesthetics; and a resurgence of interdisciplinary interest in conceptual and empirical questions around geoaesthetics; environmental aesthetics; as well as the spatialities of the aesthetic. Despite taking up an identifiable role within the geographical imagination and sensibilities for centuries; and having what is arguably a key place in the making of the modern discipline; aesthetics remains a relatively under-theorized field within geography. Across 15 chapters Geographical Aesthetics brings together timely commentaries by international; interdisciplinary scholars to rework historical relations between geography and aesthetics; and reconsider how it is we might understand aesthetics. In renewing aesthetics as a site of investigation; but also an analytic object through which we can think about worldly encounters; Geographical Aesthetics presents a reworking of our geographical imaginary of the aesthetic.
