The Russian, Lithuanian, Polish, Belarusian, Jewish, and German geo-images of this territory are analyzed in separate chapters of this volume. The spatial and topographical turns, especially the innovative perspective suggested by French Marxist Henri Lefebvre to look at the (social) space as a product of social creativity, research on so-called mental maps, postcolonial studies, and nationalism studies provided some theoretical background as well as analytical approaches for the studies published in this volume"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Geographical perception -- Lithuania -- History -- 19th century Spatial behavior -- Political aspects -- Lithuania -- History -- 19th century Spatial behavior -- Social aspects -- Lithuania -- History -- 19th century Territory, National -- Lithuania -- History -- 19th century HISTORY -- Historical Geography.
