Their characters face merging perspectives, deferral, darkness, or emptiness. Such a space is neither a site of projection (as utopia or dystopia) nor a neutral setting (as the topos). For the characters, it is real and active, at once elusive and transforming. Despite the challenges of visualizing such slippery spaces, filmic experimentations in Spanish American cinema since the 1960s have sought to adapt these texts to the screen. Ilka Kressner's Sites of Disquiet examines these representations of alternative dimensions in Spanish American short narratives and their transformations to the cinematic screen. The study is informed by contemporary critical approaches to spatiality, especially the concepts of atopos (non-space), spaces of mobility, sites of différance, of a self-effacing presence, and sonic spaces. Kressner's comparative study of textual and cinematic constructions of non-spaces highlights the potential and limits of inter-arts adaptation. Film not only portrays the sites in ways that are intrinsic to the medium, but during the cinematic translation, it further develops the textual presentations of space. Text and film illuminate each other in their renderings of echoes, gaps, absences, and radical openness. The shared focus of the two media on precarious spaces highlights their awareness of the physical and situational conditions in the works. Therefore, it vindicates the import of space and dwelling, and the often underestimated impact of surroundings on the human body and mind. Despite their heterogeneity, the artistic elaborations of these ambivalent atopoi all share a liberating impulse: they assert creative and open-ended interactions with space where volatility ceases to be a negative term. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Spanish American fiction|y20th century|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2008112111 650 0 Spanish American literature|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85126225|vFilm adaptations.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010004769 650 0 Personal space in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh98003675 650 0 Space and time in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125914 650 0 Sacred space in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007003655 650 0 Space (Architecture) in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh94009086 650 7 Spanish American fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1128187 650 7 Spanish American literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1128195 650 7 Personal space in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1058653 650 7 Space and time in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1127645 650 7 Sacred space in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1904542 650 7 Space (Architecture) in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1127614 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Film adaptations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1710491 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 Film adaptations.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2011026254 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKressner, Ilka, 1975-|tSites of disquiet |z9781612492889|w(DLC) 2013016009|w(OCoLC)839661139 830 0 Purdue studies in Romance literatures ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92070290|vv. 58. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=664521|zOnline eBook.
