Description of the research topic:
The work centers on two concepts that are gaining substantial focus in contemporary literature and culture, namely space and memory. For the past two decades a burgeoning interest could be captured between the humanities and social sciences, focusing on a joint analysis of two concepts: memory and geography (the analysis of the human space). The two concepts and their investigation are not new phenomena. The purpose lies in the mapping of contemporary thinking about these issues, in the devising of a new terminology reflecting the contemporaneity of the aforementioned fields, and in the delineation of the different meeting points involved in the joint discussion of the terms. The selected four novels are the following: Emma Donoghue’s Room, Tom McCarthy’s Remainder, Evie Wyld’s After the Fire, a Still Small Voice, and David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas.
