Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious and innovative volume stretches over time and space, over the history of modernity in relation to antiquity, between East and West, to offer insights into what the author terms the 'geographical unconscious'. She argues that, by tapping into this, we can contribute towards the reinstatement of some kind of morality and justice in today's troubled world. Approaching selected moments from ancient times to the present of Greek cultural and aesthetic geographies, the book examines diachronic spatiotemporal flows, which are cultural, urban or landscape-related, in conjunction with parallel currents of change and key issues of our time.
