In recent years,a"cartographic turn"has emerged in literary analysis,with map-making used as a conceptual metaphor.This paper examines how literary cartography engages with current critical paradigms,examining the multi-dimensional interplay between literary practice,spatial imagination,and(metaphorical)map-making.It aims to explore the origin of this conceptual tool,its definition,how it evolves in different academic and cultural backgrounds,and its application in literary criticism.The paper will also distinguish literary cartography from other space-oriented critical paradigms by highlighting its three key aspects.As a critical perspective,literary cartography is primarily focused on mapping symbolic spaces.It employs writing as a mapping tool to imagine and map the dynamic interplay between subjects and the world.Its poetic structure invites readers to participate in the remapping project,making it a tool of cultural intervention.Ultimately,this discussion seeks to illustrate how literary cartography has emerged in the spatial turn and engaged with current scholarship.
