The so-called “spatial turn” in the human sciences opened at the end of the last century the possibility of destabilizing the text from (interdisciplinary) perspectives that redefined a new conceptual framework of approach to the literary: figures of displacement (from the migrant to the tourist), cartographies literary, the body as an identity space, rhizomatic and heterological explosions of narration... The awareness that we are fundamentally spatial beings has forced us to review not only the fictional systems of (re)construction of reality, but also the very status of the literary , and undoubtedly urges us to relocate the theory of literature as a place that produces knowledge among the disciplines that deal with social practices in the changing scenario of contemporary culture.

 

We propose to specialists interested in these matters to participate in a monograph focused on the consequences of the so-called spatial turn of culture, on the poetics of space in contemporary literature and art and on other problems associated with the topographic imaginaries present in all genres. and cultural creations. The dynamics between the city and characters from sociological, economic and gender perspectives, the so-called rural literature, the travel narrative, the presence in it of “non-places”, the poetics of displacement, the figures of the same, serve as an example of these. , such as migrants or tourists, uchronic, utopian, dystopian and future spaces, etc. The proliferation of new theoretical approaches, motifs and imaginaries demonstrates the existence of a paradigm shift in the approach to literature linked to a modification of its own ontology in the course of the last decades that this monograph aims to address.
