Geographical Criticism: Reality, Fiction, Space
About This Novel
In research in the humanities, the analysis of time has always been given top priority. Space is seen only as a container, an insignificant stage - where the fate of all beings unfolds. But in recent decades, the relationship between these two basic coordinates of living things has gradually become more balanced. This book considers the representation of space in the fictional world and explores its close connection with reality. In a postmodern environment, the perception of reality is diminished and the virtual triumphs. As a result, the art of imitation to which literature belongs can propose a new way of interpreting the world, namely geographical criticism, which simultaneously involves the fields of literary theory, cultural geography and architecture. Geocriticism is a hugely stimulating and resourceful contribution to the spatial turn in literary criticism, providing a unique and sophisticated approach to exploring representations of space. --"Textual Practice"
