- Abstract
Space occupies an increasingly important place in literary studies as one of the major constituents of the story. Inspired by phenomenological philosophy and developed by Bertrand Westphal, the geocritical approach adopts a pluralistic, stratified and multi-sensory approach aimed at better understanding the interaction between literary representation and space. In this study, several literary texts (two legends, four novels, a short story, a guide, a booklet, a book of memories) based on Ankara, capital of modern Turkey, were examined using the terms and notions of this geocritical approach as well as those of M. Bakhtin, theorist of literature. Also aiming to simultaneously see the endogenous and exogenous glances on the same space, this study highlights the importance of taking into account the necessary diversity of relationships to the space considered. One of the most striking observations lies in the fact that a local's point of view focuses more on social, political and economic phenomena while a foreigner's point of view seems to privilege the vectors of authenticity.
