The Chinese Deathscape Edited By Thomas S. Mullaney Led by volume editor Thomas S. Mullaney, three historians of the Chinese world analyze the phenomenon of Chinese grave relocation via essays that move from the local to the global. Built on a bespoke spatial analysis platform, each essay takes on a different aspect of burial practices in China over the past two centuries. Rounding off the historical analyses, platform creator David McClure speaks to new reading methodologies emerging from a format in which text and map move in lockstep to advance the argument.
