Our project sets out to examine spatial discourses about the peripheries of the United States between national, regional, and global contexts as imaginations of national and transnational space. We examine spatial narratives that are conflictive with or ambivalent regarding dominant national spatial formats and in which regional, transnational, and global spaces intersect. We proceed from the assumption that the change from the colonial status to independence and the consolidation and expansion of the nation were accompanied by conflicting imaginations of different spatial formats that coexisted in the early period of the nineteenth century and that were particularly prevalent on the highly mobile southern and western peripheries of the nation.
