Abstract:
Abstract This article reviews four works representative of current field writings and attempts to define their major characteristics. First it proposes to encircle in Paysage fer (2000) by François Bon, The Change of scenery. Travels in France (2011) by Jean-Christophe Bailly, Taba-Taba (2017) by Patrick Deville, and Climats de France (2017) by Marie Richeux a common modus operandi; then it identifies in these hybrid works a singular and original writing of the ego, made of biographical and autobiographical fragments, and finally, taking into account the contributions of geocritics, it suggests the viability of ‘egogeographies,’ kinds of own landscapes to each author that a content both testimonial and patrimonial impregnates strongly.

Lappela, Anni Irmeli. "(Literary) Capital of the Russian Arctic: Murmansk in Russian Literature." Poljarnyj vestnik 21 (November 21, 2018): 31–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.7557/6.4446.

Abstract:
In this article, I examine depictions of the city of Murmansk in Soviet and contemporary Russian literature: how different works describe Murmansk’s liminal location and role as a frontier city in the Russian Arctic. I approach this question by analyzing three themes central in the texts about Murmansk: 1) future visions of the city, 2) the role of the sea/ocean and the port in the city life, and 3) depictions of the geographical location and natural surroundings of the city. I ask how the image of the city may have changed during the last century and how different actors and places in the city space influence the urban experiences of the protagonists. The Arctic became “a key component of the modern mythology” in the Soviet Union in the 1930s (McCannon 1998: 81). This “Arctic myth”, examined extensively by John McCannon (1998, 2003), is an important context for my study. I am interested in the role of urbanization, focusing on the city of Murmansk, in the Arctic myth and in conquering the North in the 1930s. I also cover questions about the relationship between gender and urban space in this Arctic city text.My theoretical frameworks come from literary urban studies, geocriticism, ecocriticism and semiotics. I analyze Soviet texts in parallel with the contemporary material. The geocritic Bertrand Westphal proposes the geocentered approach to texts: “the geocritical study of literature is not organized around texts or authors but around geographic sites” (Prieto 2011: 20, italics mine). According to Westphal, analyzing a single text or a single author makes the study of a place lopsided, and geocritical study should emphasize the space more than an observer (Westphal 2011: 126, 131, italics mine). Applying Westphal’s geocentered approach to texts, I analyze depictions of Murmansk in multiple texts from different authors and decades. I prefer this kind of approach because exploring different eras’ texts about Murmansk, I want to give a comparative perspective to the history of Murmansk as a literary city.

Abstract:
The genre of annotated verse represents an under-explored form of transporting romanticism. In annotated, locodescriptive poems like those in Anna Seward's Llangollen Vale, readers are invited to read not only the spatiality of the landscapes depicted in the verse but also the landscape of the page itself. Seward's poems, with their focus on understanding geographical, political, and historical spaces both real and imaginary, provide geocritical insight into poetic productions of the early Romantic era. Likewise, geocriticism offers a fresh and useful – even necessary – analytic approach to such poems. I adopt Anna Seward as a case study in annotated verse and argue that attending to the materiality and paratextuality of her work allows us to access the complexities of her poetry and prose as well as her position within the wider framework of transporting Romanticism.

Abstract:
Mountains and City as Contrary Spaces in the Prose of Alisa Ganieva
 I analyze Alisa Ganieva’s novel Prazdnichnaia gora (2012) and her novella Salam tebe, Dalgat! (2010) from a geocritical (Westphal, Tally) point of view. Ganieva was born in 1985 in Moscow, but she grew up in Dagestan, in North Caucasia. Since 2002, she has lived in Moscow. All Ganieva’s novels are set in present-day Dagestan, not only in the capital Makhachkala but also in the countryside. 
 I study the ways the two main spaces and main milieus, the mountains and the city, oppose each other in Prazdnichnaia gora. I also analyze how this opposition constructs the utopian and dystopian discourses of the novel. In this high/low opposition, the mountains appear as the utopian place of a better future, and the city in the lowlands is depicted as a dystopian place of the present-day life. The texts’ multilayered time is also part of my analysis, which follows Westphal’s idea of the stratigraphy of time. Furthermore, the mountains are associated with the traditional way of life and the Soviet past. In this way, the mountains have two kinds of roles in the texts. Nevertheless, the city is a central element of the postcolonial dystopian discourse of Prazdnichnaia gora. In my opinion, Ganieva’s texts problematize referentiality, one of the key concepts of geocriticism. Whilst the city tends to be very referential, the mountains escape the referential relationship to the “real” geographical space.

Abstract:
This essay proposes to present and analyse the pictures or representations of Paris in Ernest Hemingway’s, Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s and Gertrude Stein’s different works. The theoretical framework of the piece is geocriticism by which the author attempts to discover how these works contributed to the literary construction of the French capital. The other objective of the essay is however to show the birth of a Parisian literary myth. After giving a brief overview of recent spatiality studies, the paper explains in-depth the geocritical method by the analysis of certain extracts of the different literary perceptions of Paris in the twenties, written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Babylon Revisited), Ernest Hemingway (A Moveable Feast) and Gertrude Stein (Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, Paris, France). The latter approach can help to shed some light on the reasons why these expatriates (American and British writers, artists) came to Paris in the first place and what attracted them so much. Later on, the paper explains that the artists of the Lost Generation were disoriented and aimless after the war, so they headed to Paris to find some ‘old’ values and rebuild their lifes. These authors found there a new and very inspirational atmosphere, new friends, new goals, they started interesting publishing initiatives and searched for their proper literary voices. In the meantime, by representing the always exciting and crowded Parisian life, they created a literary myth of Paris which considers the city as safe haven for artists and writers – saying that Paris is a never resting “moveable feast”.

Abstract:
Transgressivity is a major geocritical principle that is fundamental for the morphology of global spaces. Following this theoretical frame, my paper will map out the images and states of transgressivity that arise in contemporary Romanian poetry. How does poetry create transgressive spaces in the context of a post-communist society? Which are the poetic cartographies involved in the process of cognitive, affective and heterotopic mapping of Romanian postCommunism? Finally, how does poetry become a territory of freedom that subverts a given socio-political geography? These are the starting points of my geocritical approach on transgressivity which can be characteristic to the “chronotopography” of post-communist spaces and their poetic representations.

Abstract:
In the face of the almost four-fold increase in study abroad participation over the past seven years, it is imperative to ask some pressing questions regarding how to optimize the study abroad experience, ensuring that students move beyond a superficially touristic mode of uninformed impressionistic response to their host locale into a more sophisticated engagement with its complex social, political, historical, and cultural particularities. In this spirit, this article presents an essay, which will use geocritical theory to inquire into the pedagogical uses and larger social functioning of texts that represent the places to which study abroad students flock in search of knowledge and experience. In doing so, it will ask what are some of the ways texts and the places they represent relate to each other, how do texts set up horizons of expectations regarding places to be encountered, and, as a function of these, how might these texts best be put to use in a study abroad educational context?

Abstract:
The literature that explores the representations of the Balkans is based on the assumption that the Balkans were constructed, imagined or invented. This claim is usually accompanied by the attempts to highlight the discrepancy between physical and imaginary geography and to point out the gap in semantics between the Balkan Peninsula and the Balkans. While the first one functions as physical geography, the other one refers to a place populated by representations, rather than people. Following the trend of linguistic and spatial turn, they hold the binary logic that insists upon the duality of the spatial. Some of the most important studies in this field can be read and interpreted as another in a series of texts about the Balkans. Thus, the aim of this paper is to: 1. Point out the places and passages where academic discourse on the Balkans separate physical and symbolic geography; 2. Highlight the political implications of this approach; 3. Suggest a geocritical aim that provides a sort of ballance between the material geography („real“) and imaginary spaces.

In the center of this dichotomic space stands the symbol of the mountain – a sacred area where a whole cosmogony comes to life, based on the dialectic relationship between ascent and descent.

The choice of Italy to reveal the homosexuality of the characters seems to be a recurring stereotype in the decadent European literature at the turn of the century. The present study examines the origins of such a literary mythology by confronting various linguistic sources in order to identify an intertextual and geocritical network. The choice of a country still untouched by an industrial culture allows for epiphanic encounters whose outcome is the rediscovery of oneself by each of the characters. Confronted with monsters and other secondary mythological deities, the protagonists will experience becoming one themselves.

Following the routes presented in the novels of two contemporary authors, Mircea Cărtărescu and Bogdan Suceava, I will try to propose a new method of topos analysis in the novel, which could re-evaluate the representation of the spaces caught at the boundary between reality and fiction (in the future).

Abstract:
Nell’ultimo ventennio, un numero importante di lavori sono stati consacrati allo studio della rappresentazione dello spazio nei testi letterari. Tale interesse sembra inscriversi sia nell’evoluzione dei generi, caratterizzati da una spazializzazione crescente delle forme narrative, sia nello sviluppo di pratiche artistiche legate alla creazione di carte letterarie. In seguito all’affermarsi dello spatial turn negli studi letterari e culturali, parte della critica ha focalizzato la sua attenzione sulla relazione che intercorre tra spazio immaginario, spazio referenziale e pratica cartografica. Quest’ultimo aspetto costituisce uno dei temi più interessanti della metodologia geocritica. Il presente articolo mira a studiare questa “convergenza” tra la letteratura e la cartografia, con l’intento di esaminare la testualità delle carte letterarie e, in particolare, la loro dimensione retorica. Le carte letterarie sono in grado di rappresentare i luoghi in cui si svolge l’azione di un romanzo, o di più romanzi, permettendo allo scrittore di costruire un mondo immaginario che i lettori esplorano assieme ai personaggi.

Abstract:
This paper aims at both “mapping” the profile of a groundbreaking poetic discourse in contemporary Romania and correlating it to “planetary” trends. Furthermore, it argues that these artistic discourses reshape the status of poetry in general, by creating permeable, transgressive, and porous structures which conduct to new approaches of space – in its imaginary, poetic or planetary aspects – that we call noopoetic interspace or surspace. By getting closer to rather new theoretical and/ or artistic approaches like geocriticism (B. Westphal), viractualism and immersive creative environments (J. Nechvatal) or experimental artistic installation based on artificial intelligence (R. Anadol), the works we discuss take an important step forward towards a connective world which strives to rediscover its humanity.

Abstract:
The study of Mauritian Literature and the environment from an interdisciplinary perspective arouses various concerns and questionings such as the protection of planet Earth, the relation between characterisation and natural settings, the nature-culture dichotomy and nature writing. The fictionalisation and poeticization of Mauritian and Indian Ocean islands’ natural spaces in Loys Masson’s novels depict both man as Nature’s saviour and Nature as man’s saviour, in such a way that Nature’s raison d’être becomes Literature and aesthetics. Nature exists because it will eventually turn into a Book. Born at the end of the 20th century in American universities and closely linked to geocriticism and ecopoetics, ecocriticism thus provides new insights into Masson’s novels while reviving traditional French philosophical thoughts by Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Michel Serres.

Geography, memory and experience: the spaces in Sergio PitolThis article aims to study a key aspect of the literary work of the Mexican writer Sergio Pitol. In good measure, his work consecrates a diversity of geographical spaces. By the way of some literary strategies, as a voice that combines the essay and the autobiographical narration or the fugue structure, Pitol connects his experiences and practices of space with his own memories. Through a geocritical perspective, this article focuses on Cementerio de tordos 1982, El arte de la fuga 1996, El viaje 2001 and in their literary features about geography and memory. The author’s experience of space reveals a meaningful bond with a re-creation of memory, one of the most important techniques of Sergio Pitol writing.

AbstractFocusing on the use of landscape in the Norwegian series Occupied (2015–2020) and Nobel (2016), this article examines the ways in which cityscapes and panoramas of the natural environment are employed as affective, as well as aesthetic tools for storytelling within a geopolitically inflected framework. Drawing on literature from popular geopolitics, geocriticism, and visual politics, my analysis interrogates the ways in which geopolitical codes and visions manifest via televisual fiction, reflecting a variety of insecurities associated with Norway's current position in world affairs, as well as contemporary challenges to Norwegian national identity. This article also discusses how these two series have adapted key geovisual elements of the what I deem the “near Nordic Noir” style to focus more explicitly on geopolitical questions, linking Occupied and Nobel to other geopolitically inflected series from Nordic Europe.

Abstract:
Abstract The literary works represent a genuine source for researching and understanding the geographical space. Most of the time, this space is perceived and figured in various ways by the different authors referring to it. When available, the best way to study these mental representations is by using maps created by the authors themselves. This article concentrates on Liviu Rebreanu’s novel “The Uprising” and on the map which helped him to better depict the plot and the characters. The cartographical representation was created by Liviu Rebreanu and was published together with other drafts from the author’s personal archive. The paper analyzes the map using cartographical, historical and literary sources with the aim of understanding how the author reshaped the real space to better suit his literary imagination. In the end, the study explains how these kind of maps could be interpreted using a geocritical approach.

Abstract:
Drawing on the theoretical premises of imagology and geocriticism, the article analyzes the aesthetic experience of the traveler who traverses Lithuanian cities (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda), walks across small towns, stops over in villages, and makes his way to the seaside. The local aesthetic identity of the newly discovered country, i.e. its beauty and/or loathsomeness, is revealed by the author Jean Mauclère through a few perspectives: on the one hand, it is the beauty of nature, folk and professional art (architectural exteriors and interiors, fine arts, music), the physical type of Lithuanian men and women. This identity, as Mauclère suggests, reveals itself in the contexts of local history, traditions and culture. Although the author seeks to remain objective in his description of his new aesthetic experience in Lithuania, he remains a representative of his own French culture and its traditions nonetheless. On the other hand, he underlines the otherness of the novelty of his experience.

Abstract:
This article explores borders, border crossings and the geography of separation in two recent Hungarian films. In The Maiden Danced to Death (2011) and The Notebook (2013), two films produced within a few years of one another and just before the recent re-erection of a border between Hungary and its neighbors, escape provides the vehicle for the brothers’ separation. Of particular interest is the frequent portrayal of brothers separated during communism, often with one brother staying and one leaving. In these films, regimes and ideology tear brothers apart; whether viewed on screen or only alluded to, the crossing of a border becomes a physical symbol of this separation and loss. The fraternal pairs’ personal lives interact with history, especially the repressive state as manifested in Hungary’s border. Geocriticism, border and trauma studies perspectives will help understand the anguish of this separation. In these films, political realities fray the bonds between brothers and lead to their separation through the border, or to its trace, as identities are subjected to traumatic reconfigurations.

Abstract:
The literary immortality of the sisters Lida and Marzena SkotnicównaOn 6 October 1929 two teenagers from Zakopane, the sisters Lida and Marzena Skotnicówna, died tragically while trying to traverse the southern face of Zamarła Turnia. The accident became a permanent part of the history of mountaineering in the Tatras, especially of women’s mountaineering. It became an inspiration for many writers and journalists, who “immortalised” the Skotnicówna sisters, making them protagonists of poems and novels, but also expressing judgements on the legitimacy of women’s mountain climbing.The author of the article explores works commemorating and sometimes even mythologising the sisters. Her aim is, first of all, to illustrate the role of women’s expansion in mountaineering in the interwar period, expansion which — since it is still alive through the memory of its heroines — must have been significant; and to demonstrate various ways of writing not only about the Skotnicówna sisters as human beings, women, climbers, but also as female pioneers of mountaineering or even a phenomenon.The author’s method is based on a comparison of various literary and journalistic works and hermeneutical interpretation in a historical and social context, using the tools of geocriticism.

Abstract:
Abstract Jim Crace likes to refer to himself as a “landscape writer” and indeed, in each of his eleven novels he has created a distinct yet recognizable imaginary landscape or cityscape. This has led critics to coin the term “Craceland” to describe the idiosyncratic milieux he creates, which, through his remarkably authentic and poetic rendering of geography and topography, appear to be both other and familiar at the same time. In The Pesthouse 2007, the milieu is the devastated America of an imagined future, a country which has deteriorated into a pre-modern and pre-industrial wasteland so hostile to sustainable existence that most of its inhabitants have become refugees travelling eastwards to sail to a new life on another continent. Franklin and Margaret, two such refugees, are leaving their homes not only to flee misery and destitution, but also the trauma and pain occasioned by the loss of their relatives. Using geocriticism as a practice and theoretical point of departure, this article presents and analyses the various ways in which Crace’s novel renders and explores its spaces, landscapes and places, as well as how it links them with the transformation of the protagonists’ psyches and mental worlds.
