This volume emerges out of a two–day interdisciplinary and international conference hosted by the University of Glasgow in May of 2012 that aimed to interrogate shifting and evolving ideas of space and location - whether physical or metaphysical, real or imaginary - in relation to discourses of globalization and cosmopolitanism and the blurring of national and cultural borders.  Spaces of (Dis)location brings together a broad range of disciplines that include visual art, literature, cinema, theatre, philosophy, and education, with essays engaging with ideas of space (physical and imaginary), globalization, localism, cultural and natural spaces, adaptation, cultural diaspora, immigration, spaces of performance and the space of the body.  Including theoretical approaches as well as practice-based research, this volume puts into practice ideas of interdisciplinarity by examining how different areas of practice and study inform and engage with each other.
