       revisited. 
520    Some of the most important writers of the twentieth 
       century, including Borges, Cortázar, Rulfo, and García 
       Márquez, have explored ambiguous sites of a disquieting 
       nature. 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.
