Undisciplined Approach to Literary Spaces

Abstract

In a context where studies focusing on space endlessly multiply – in effect, a spatial turn has come about in these past few years, more specifically in the last three decades – a range of approaches is quite foreseeable. Remaining within the bounds of the specific criteria of a given discipline would be reductive. Undoubtedly, one must demonstrate a minimal amount of ‘un-discipline’ so as to achieve interdiscipline and evince a genuine interdisciplinary discourse, which, in the light of the famous insight of Pascal, appreciates truth on both sides of the Pyrenees and not remain confined, sheltered, at a given border – whether it be geographical or, precisely, disciplinary.
In order to embark on such an adventure, one must also take into account a few elements pertaining to the history of the division of knowledge into disciplines (the tree of Porphyry, for example).
