Exploring the Spatiality of the City across Cultural Texts

Exploring the Spatiality of the City across Cultural Texts: Narrating Spaces, Reading Urbanity explores the narrative formations of urbanity from an interdisciplinary perspective. Within the framework of the “spatial turn,” contributors from disciplines ranging from geography and history to literary and media studies theorize narrative constructions of the city and cities, and analyze relevant examples from a variety of discourses, media, and cities. Subdivided into six sections, the book explores the interactions of city and text—as well as other media—and the conflicting narratives that arise in these interactions. Offering case studies that discuss specific aspects of the narrative construction of Berlin and London, the text also considers narratives of urban discontinuity and their theoretical implications. Ultimately, this volume captures the narratological, artistic, material, social, and performative possibilities inherent in spatial representations of the city.

Zuhause im Text

Die Verschränkung räumlicher Erfahrung mit Erinnerungsbildung und Fragen der kulturellen Zugehörigkeit kann in der jüdischen Gedächtnistradition und Literatur auf eine tiefe Verwurzelung verweisen. Im Exil wird die Bedeutung erinnernder Bezüge zum aktuellen Ort und seinen historischen Bedeutungsschichten stets neu verhandelt. So lässt sich Raum wie auch Erinnerungsbildung als relationaler und dynamischer Prozess charakterisieren, in dem die Positionierung der Akteur*innen von großer Bedeutung ist. Die in Zuhause im Text untersuchten Romane von Linda Grant, Tamar Yellin und Naomi Alderman nähern sich auf höchst unterschiedliche Weise dem Phänomen der Erinnerung und seiner Verknüpfung mit den räumlichen Geflechten Londons, Liverpools, Tel Avivs oder Jerusalems. Fragen kultureller Zugehörigkeit zu Orten und Erinnerungsgemeinschaften verbinden sich mit der Verhandlung von Fragen der Autorschaft in Bezug auf das eigene Leben wie auch der Erinnerung. Ausdeutungen des Raums, des Textes und des eigenen Selbst rücken ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit von Martin Kindermanns Untersuchung.
