The aim of the workshop is to embed the phenomenon of\u00a0bentuhua\u00a0<\/em>\u672c\u571f\u5316 within a broader theoretical discussion about the \u201cspatial turn.\u201d The spatial turn will be understood as an impulse to interdisciplinary research which connects geography, history, and literature. From a methodological point of view, it encourages the fusion of literary studies with sociology. Among the main research questions for the literary critics as well as the historians, geographers, and cultural anthropologists we intend to invite are the following: How and into what extend can a place influence a local community and its cultural production? Are the perception of a place and the resulting identification with it strictly tied to reality, or is it foremost an imaginary place? Is it more fruitful to understand a place as a mere location or as a dynamic network of relationships?
