Abstract The paper examines the view and representation of space in Terézia Mora’s prose, primarily based on her novel entitled The Only Man on the Continent (Der einzige Mann auf dem Kontinent). In the universe of the novel the perception of space basically determines the individual’s space of action and highly influences his self-image as well as his attitude toward alterity. The city not only functions as space, but also forms a multicultural medium which becomes itself the subject of reflection and metanarration. In the novel the anthropological places and non-places, in Augé’s sense, change their function and thus the borders of referential, mental and virtual worlds are blurred, the notion of space itself is revaluated. The protagonist is the Ulysses of our days; his journeys and adventures mainly take place in his imagination. In the virtual world he loses his sense of reality, which can also be perceived in the narrative procedures of the text: the novel is in fact the protagonist’s quest for identity, his endless monologue, which is interrupted by the omniscient narrator’s comments from time to time. In the meantime the evident intertextual context also gets shape: the text maintains an ironical intertextual connection with James Joyce’s Ulysses.

The present article amounts to an attempt to analyze the work Axe is the name of mine by Alexander Dugin — a theorist of Eurasianism ideology in Russia. In this article Dugin touches upon the novel Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Dugin analyzes the novel in the context of cultural opposition between the orthodox Russia and the secular Western Europe, whose symbol is the capital of the Russian Empire— Saint Petersburg. The city in this case is the negation of the orthodox tradition of Moscow — The Third Rome. Dugin extremely relativized the meaning of Dostoyevsky‘snovel.

A paisagem urbana é constituída por múltiplas camadas de significados. Considerá-la como um texto nos permite acessar o conteúdo simbólico por meio do qual as culturas, sejam elas dominantes ou alternativas, reproduzem suas normas, seus valores e concepções de mundo. Nessa abordagem, a própria paisagem material, em todas as suas formas de expressão, configura-se como um texto que deve ser detalhadamente lido e interpretado. As evidências do significado das paisagens são encontradas também nos produtos culturais e estéticos produzidos no âmbito da sociedade: na pintura, na literatura, na música, nos filmes. Estes últimos têm um importante papel na estruturação das geografias contemporâneas. Dentro desse contexto, esse trabalho discute, por meio da análise do discurso e de uma abordagem interpretativa, a Recife/PE construída no filme Febre do Rato (2012), dirigido pelo cineasta pernambucano Cláudio Assis, na intenção de desvelar a imagem da cidade de Recife compreendendo os significados expressos na sua paisagem fílmica.Palavras-chave: Paisagem.

Considering it as a text, allows us to access the symbolic content through which the dominant or alternative cultures reproduce their norms, values and worldviews. In this approach the material landscape itself, in all its forms of expression, appears as a text that must be read and interpreted at length. Evidences of the meaning of landscapes are also found within cultural and aesthetic products in the society: in painting, in literature, in music and in films. The latter play an important role in the structuring of contemporary geographies. Within this context, this study presents a discourse analysis, and an interpretative approach, of the city of Recife/PE presented in the film Febre do Rato (2012) directed by the Brazilian filmmaker Claudio Assis, with the intention to reveal the image of Recife through the understanding of its filmic landscapes. Keywords: Landscape.

Arte y literatura —en particular la novela— encuentran en el paisaje urbano uno de sus referentes principales y, desde múltiples perspectivas, abordan frecuentemente temas que le son consustanciales: la problemática relación entre individuo y sociedad, la soledad y el anonimato entre la multitud, la libertad y el cosmopolitismo, la esperanza del inmigrante, el hacinamiento y el crimen, etc. En las últimas décadas se repite, además, la ficcionalización del espacio interior del autor o los personajes en la configuración de ese paisaje. Partiendo de los vínculos históricos entre ciudad y literatura, el presente trabajo resume la evolución del tratamiento literario de lo urbano para llegar a la novela española de las últimas décadas, en cuyo contexto elegimos el caso paradigmático de Antonio Muñoz Molina para ilustrar, analizando múltiples ejemplos de su obra, aquel diálogo ficcionalizado entre el entorno urbano y la subjetividad del narrador, siempre ilumina por la memoria y la imaginación. The preeminent urban model generates heterogeneous area of exchange, coexistence and competition characteristic of our time. Art and literature –particularly, the novel– find one of their principal references in the urban landscape and, from multiple perspectives, they frequently tackle topics inherent in it: the problematic relation between the individual and society, the loneliness and anonymity among the crowd, freedom and cosmopolitanism, the hope of the immigrant, overcrowding and crime… The city in the modern novel gets to acquire its own voice and personality, as if it were just another character. And in recent decades, we have observed a new inflection: dismissing physical objectivity, many writers project their own subjectivity onto the urban environment, drawing a literary landscape in which “myth, invention and reality” are merged. The current work gives an account on this, providing the example of several Spanish novelists, Antonio Muñoz Molina in particular.

Social Utopia

This study examines three literary utopias from the margins of German literature, namely German-language literature from Eastern Moravia. The works chosen for analysis are the dramatic cycle The City of People (Die Stadt der Menschen) by Moravian-born Austrian writer and visionary Susanne Schmida (1894–1981), the novel The Imperial City (Die Kaiserstadt) by the Austrian writer and diplomat Paul Zifferer (1879–1929), and the text “The City of the Future” (“Die Stadt des Kommenden”) by the German-speaking Czechoslovak author Walter Seidl. In all the texts examined, the model of urban landscape is used as the location of utopia: the prototype of an abstract futuristic city (Schmida), Vienna as an exemplar of political utopia (Zifferer), and Zlín as a fully realized social utopia (Seidl). These three sites show a complementary gradation in the sense of the (potential) realization of utopian ideas, i.e. the belief that, put simply, “it was once good” (Zifferer), “it is good” (Seidl), and “it will be good” (Schmida).

Yarım aşırı aşan bir geçmişe sahip Almanya’ya göç olgusu beraberinde önemli bir edebi birikimi (Migrantenliteratur) de getirmiştir. Farklı adlandırmalar ile anılan bu edebi birikim, kendi içinde de farklı renkleri de barındıran bir özelliğe sahiptir. Edebi yazını besleyen en önemli kaynaklardan biri toplumdur. Yazarın içinde yaşadığı toplumsal yapı ve problemler üstü kapalı veya açık bir şekilde onun yazılarına yansımaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırma, 50’li yaşlarında Almanya’ya giden ve ömrünün sonuna kadar orada yaşayan, birçok edebi ve düşünsel çalışması ile Türk edebiyatında önemli bir isim olan Fakir Baykurt’un “Koca Ren” ve Yüksek Fırınlar” adlı romanları ile birlikte Duisburg Üçlemesi’nin son kitabı olan “Yarım Ekmek” romanında ele aldığı konu ve roman kahramanları üzerinden din ve gelenek olgusu sosyolojik bir yaklaşımla ele alınmaktadır. Toplumcu-gerçekçi çizgide yer alan yazarın, uzun yıllar yaşadığı Türkiye’deki siyasi ve ideolojik geçmişi bu romanda kullandığı dil ve kurguladığı kahramanlarda kendini göstermektedir. Romanda Almanya’nın Duisburg şehrinde yaşayan Türklerin yeni kültürel ortamda yaşadıkları çatışma, kültürel şok, arada kalmışlık, iki kültürlülük temaları ön plandadır. Yazar romanda sadece Almanya’daki Türkleri ele almamakta, aynı zamanda Türkiye ile hatta başka ülkeler ile de ilişkilendirmeler yaparak bireysel ve toplumsal konuları ele almaktadır. Araştırmada, romanda yer alan dini ve geleneksel unsurlar sosyolojik olarak analiz edilmiştir. Genel anlamda bir göç romanı olma özelliği yanında Yarım Ekmek romanında dini, siyasi ve ideolojik birçok yorum ve tartışma söz konusudur. Romandaki bu veriler, inanç, ritüel, siyaset ve toplumsal boyutlarda kategorize edilerek ele alınmıştır.  ENGLISH ABSTRACTReligion and identity reflections in literature of immigrant: Religion and Tradition in Fakir Baykurt’s novel Yarım EkmekThe immigration fact which has nearly half century in Germany have brought a significant literal accumulation (Migrantenliteratur) in its wake.

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.

Writers of the early nineteenth century sought to find new ways of writing about the urban landscape when first confronted with the phenomena of London. The very nature of London's rapid growth, its unprecedented scale, and its mere difference from any other urban centre throughout the world marked it out as demanding a different register in prose and poetry. The condition of writing the city, of inventing a new writing for a new experience is explored by familiar texts of urban representation such as by Thomas De Quincey and William Wordsworth, as well as through less widely read authors such as Sarah Green, Pierce Egan, and Robert Southey, particularly his fictional Letters from England.
