Historical geographies of print culture are concerned `with the spaces in which texts are composed, printed, distributed, sold, read and reviewed¿ and aim to `situate ideas, practices and practitioners within geographical context, and to understand how knowledge and ideas are made mobile and circulate between these spaces¿ (Keighren, 2006:528). The mobility and materiality of printed objects then is a key concern for those keen to interrogate how print, geography and meaning are interrelated, for as knowledge moves in and through different print spaces it is regularly transformed. Historical geographies of print culture provide an opportunity to consider how print and the print trade more widely became implicated in the production and dissemination of particular geographical understandings in specific times and places. Re-examining the conditions surrounding the production and publication of geographical works can highlight the influence that intermediaries such as publishers, editors and illustrators have over published products, despite the fact that their interventions often go unacknowledged. Moving beyond the publishing house, situating works within a broader market can highlight how matters of geography were constructed and contested in different print spaces often with specific audiences in mind. Examining these audiences can shed greater light on the extent to which authors and others were able to influence readers as they intended. Moreover, studies of historical geographies of reception remind us that a single work might inspire multiple geographical imaginations and encourage us to consider why this might be the case in a given context. This session provides an opportunity for scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to consider the relationship between geography, print culture, and geographical imaginations in a range of historical and geographical contexts.
