地理批评宣言:走向文本的地理批评

The declaration of Geocriticism: Geocriticism towards text

介绍了包括形象学在内的几个比较文学领域中涉及空间研究的理论,同时也延伸到了文学以外的跨学科领域,从多个角度阐述了地理批评的新颖之处。该理论着重研究时间与空间的关系、不同视角的交叉及其相互转换的特性,并且在德勒兹、瓜塔里等人去疆界化的启发下提出了越界性。围绕地中海周边诸如德里雅斯特、巴塞罗那等具体地点,阐释了空间的互文性结构,并重点讨论了针对某些地点的虚构地图学。与此相关的一系列关于刻板印象的思考与研究将文本时常造成的对地点与他者的虚假印象推入新一轮质疑。

It presents several theories evoking the questions of spatiality in comparative literature(imagology,etc.)and in other disciplines,whether literary or not,before defining what makes the originality of a new geocritical approach based on the study of the relations between time and space,the different crossings of point of view and the transitory nature of any representation(which will later become transgressiveness,partly inspired by the concept of deterritorialization dear to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari).This text also reserves an important place for intertextual constructions of spaces by delivering some concrete examples mostly from the Mediterranean area:Trieste,Barcelona,etc.It is particularly a question of drawing up a fictional cartography of the places.In doing so,the study presented by Westphal puts in place a reflection on the notions of stereotype,which makes it possible to question the false evidences that are often conveyed by the texts.
