Purpose
What does the colonial consciousness of
space in relation to four central linguistic
terms tell us about how the terms are related
conceptually and how might that lead us to
read the religious documents differently?

Method Issues
• Proximity search –
Boolean logic
• Words: markers of spatial awareness
• Colonial awareness of the Atlantic World
• Writers, Readers, More Writers
• Spatial clustering
