Topoiesis del espacio textual

, , , , &
 

ABSTRACT

The concept of topoiesis of textual space addresses an analysis of the spatial elements that tend to provide a meaning to the literary text. Based on textual semiotics where there is an organized relational system of meanings, in this article we propose that it is possible to determine the function of space as a meaning issue from three different literary text instances (event or motive; character; and object). This distinction will permit a deeper interpretation of the sense of space in the literary text.

Notes

1. Ya hemos discutido en “Topoiesis: procesos de espacialización en la literatura (crítica y metodología)” la distinción que para estos estudios nos representan los términos “espacio” y “lugar”.

2. Utilizamos el significado de isotopía según lo refiere Algirdas J. Greimas en el Dictionnaire raisonné de la théorie du langage: “le concept d'isotopie a désigné d'abord l'itérativité, le long d'une chaîne syntagmatique, de classèmes qui assurent au discours-énoncé son homogénéité. D'après cette acception, il est clair que le syntagme réunissant au moins deux figures sémiques peut être considéré comme le contexte minimal permettant d'établir une isotopie” (197).

3. Bal es bastante específica al dividir la relación personaje-espacio en dos: marco espacial del personaje y la forma en que llena dicho marco. Nos parece que esta última se encuentra implícita en la primera, debido a la topoiesis o significación del espacio textual.
