- Title
Lake District Online: Studies in Book Ecology and Digital Migration.
- Authors
LINLEY, MARGARET
- Abstract
This paper considers how an emergent nineteenth-century ecological framework, developed as an effect of global systems of interconnection, organized and localized space in a way that can help us understand digital culture today. Taking as a case study a corpus of Victorian travel books that migrated from the English Lake District to Vancouver, Canada, this paper explores the sense of and feeling for place in terms of "deterritorialization"--or dislocation and reorientation toward the planet--through the statistical, cartographic, and picturesque visualization techniques developed in the nineteenth century. These representational strategies, in turn, inform a second migration across media platforms and link the Victorian interest in ecology with contemporary environmental concerns.
