Abstract:How should we theorize the connections between literary expression and space/place? Literary texts are replete with spatiality, but the "spatial turn" has yielded little in the way of systematic thought about the relationship between literature and space, its advocates eschewing the notion of a "spatio-cultural" map. Here, I outline parameters we could use for reflecting on that relationship. I present two intersecting axes—the "abstract-concrete" one and the "individual-collective" one—along which spatio-cultural phenomena can be located. These range from sociopolitical concerns to identity, to awareness of the nature of space and time themselves, to textual dimensions of literary works.

映射文学文本：空间文化理论与实践

摘要：我们应该如何理论化文学表达与空间/地方之间的联系？文学文本充满了空间性，但“空间转向”对文学与空间关系的系统思考几乎没有产生，其倡导者回避了“空间-文化”地图的概念。在这里，我概述了我们可以用来反映这种关系的参数。我提出了两个交叉的轴——“抽象-具体”轴和“个体-集体”轴——沿着它们可以定位空间文化现象。这些范围从社会政治问题到身份认同，到对空间和时间本身的本质的认识，再到文学作品的文本维度。
