This article presents methodological starting points, heuristics and the results of a GIS-based analysis of the history of Slovenian literary culture from the 1780s to 1941. The ethnically Slovenian territory was multilingual and multicultural; it belonged to different state entities with distant capitals, which was reflected in the spatial dynamic of literary culture. The research results have confirmed the hypotheses of the research project ‘The Space of Slovenian Literary Culture,’ which were based on postulates of the spatial turn: the socio-geographical space influenced the development of literature and its media, whereas literature itself, through its discourse, practices and institutions, had a reciprocal influence on the apprehension and structuring of that space, as well as on its connection with the broader region. Slovenian literary discourse was able to manifest itself in public predominantly through the history of spatial factors: (a) the formation, territorial expansion and concentration of the social network of literary actors and media; (b) the persistent references of literary texts to places that were recognized by addressees as Slovenian, thereby grounding a national ideology. Taking all of this into account, and based on meta-theoretical reflection, the project aims to contribute to the development of digital humanities and spatial literary studies.

Landscape and Subjectivity in the Work of Patrick Keiller, W.G. Sebald, and Iain Sinclair

Situating Keiller, Sebald, and Sinclair as the three leading voices in ‘English psychogeography’, this book examines what, apart from a shared interest in English landscape and townscape, connects their work; it discovers this in the cultivation of a certain ‘affective’ mode or sensibility especially attuned to the cultural anxieties of the twentieth century’s closing decades. As it goes on, the book explores motifs including ‘essayism’, the reconciliation of creativity with ‘market forces’, and the foregrounding of an often agonised or melancholic subjectivity. It wonders whether the work it looks at can, collectively, be seen to constitute a ‘critical theory of contemporary space’. In the process, it suggests that Keiller, Sebald, and Sinclair represent a highly significant moment in English culture’s engagement with landscape, environment, and itself. There are six chapters in all, with two devoted to each subject: one to their early years and less well-known work; and another to their more famous later contributions, including important works such as Patrick Keiller’s London (1994), W.G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn (1995), and Iain Sinclair’s Lights Out for the Territory (1997). The book’s analyses are fuelled by archival and topographical research carried out in London and Germany and are responsive to various interdisciplinary contexts, including the tradition of the ‘English Journey’, the set of ideas associated with the ‘spatial turn’, critical theory, the so-called ‘heritage debate’ in Britain, and more recent theorization of the ‘anthropocene’. In all, the book suggests the various ways that a dialectical relationship between dwelling and displacement has been exploited as a means to attempt subjective reorientation within the axiomatically disorientating conditions of contemporary modernity.

RésuméL’history from belowa marqué plusieurs générations d’historiens, en suscitant des débats sur la recherche des sources ainsi que sur l’élaboration des méthodes nécessaires pour mettre en oeuvre cette formule de recherche historique. La publication en français de l’ouvrage d’E. P.Thompson,Customs in Common (Les usages de la coutume. Traditions et résistances populaires en Angleterre, XVIIe-XIXesiècle), est l’occasion de revenir sur cette approche. Il s’agit moins de se demandercommentréaliser une histoire d’en bas que de s’interroger surquiest ce « bas » dont on voudrait restituer l’histoire. L’article commence par passer en revue les traductions dont les textes d’E. P. Thompson ont fait l’objet en différentes langues, en montrant à quel point celles-ci ont contribué à produire une identification entre lebelowet les classes populaires que l’historien britannique avait lui-même tenté d’éviter. Ensuite sont analysées les réponses formulées par différents courants historiographiques récents –microstoria,spatial turn, études inspirées par Jürgen Habermas. Enfin, l’article propose une interprétation originale de ce programme de recherche, qui en fait moins l’histoire d’une couche sociale qu’un travail de sauvetage(rescue)de « ce qui aurait pu se passer ».

The Way

One of the oldest cultural practices of human societies, poetry, simultaneously responded and contributed to the evolution of human sense of spaces. Before print culture became ubiquitous, poetry was a time-art: all classic poetic techniques and devices were meant to hold a piece of verse permanently in a person’s memory, and by extension, in a community’s living history. However, contemporary poetry has little use for the chronologic dimension of poetry. The correlation of spatialized poetry with the new proliferation of ideas regarding space can be explored in multiple angles. The way space is looked at has changed in all art forms due to certain contingencies of modern history. This paper is a mapping of these alterations in the spatial turn of poetry, and a further application of ideas of space in understanding contemporary poetry.

Information Work

Local sites and practices of information work become embroiled in the larger imperatives and logics of the global knowledge economy through social, technological, and spatial networks. Drawing on human geography’s central claim that space and time are dialectically produced through social practices, in this essay I use human/critical geography as a framework to situate the processes and practices—the space and time—of information literacy within the broader social, political, and economic environments of the global knowledge economy.  As skills training for the knowledge economy, information literacy lies at the intersection of the spatial and temporal spheres of higher education as the locus of human capital production. Information literacy emerges as a priority for academic librarians in the 1980s in the context of neoliberal reforms to higher education: a necessary skill in the burgeoning “information economy,” it legitimates the role of librarians as teachers. As a strategic priority, information literacy serves to demonstrate the library’s value within the university’s globalizing agenda. While there has been a renewed interest in space/time within the humanities and social sciences since the 1980s, LIS has not taken up this “spatial turn” with the same enthusiasm—or the same degree of criticality—as other social science disciplines. This article attempts to address that gap and offers new insights into the ways that the spatial and temporal registers of the global knowledge economy and the neoliberal university produce and regulate the practice of information literacy in the academic library.

Historia De Vida

Este artigo expõe a trajetória de um músico português - Tó Trips – e da sua última banda – os Dead Combo – no intuito de fundir um percurso musical com uma paisagem sonora na linha da concetualização de Schafer (2012). Socorrendo-nos, em termos metodológicos, de uma história de vida e de materiais documentais, iremos estabelecer uma sincronia entre cidade, sons, criação musical e intervenção artística. Os Dead Combo e Tó Trips são, no quadro deste artigo, os (re)criadores ativos de Lisboa, permitindo, simultaneamente, estabelecer algumas asserções sobre o valor do som e da música como carburantes de identidades coletivas e individuais; e a potenciação da construção de imaginários simbólicos e afetivos face a um espaço urbano na senda de Frith (1996). Num processo que alguns designam como spatial turn (STAHL, 2004) nas últimas décadas, iremos evidenciar que a globalização parece ter renovado a ênfase no local, encorajando reconstruções identitárias através do surgimento de novas expressões artísticas de vínculo à cidade e, portanto, de uma re-imaginação da cidade, partindo de uma produção artística territorialmente ancorada, vivida e sentida. E tal ênfase parece revestir-se de uma urgência crítica nestes tempos distópicos.
