This article aims at a review of contemporary trends in art and theatre, emphasizing the social engagement of artistic action, the participation of the audience, and the modification of the reality of the city. The main focus is on the assumptions and practices of 'community arts' and 'community theatre' - as intriguing artistic proposals, dealing with the main plagues of the contemporary city: atomization, the breakup of social bonds amongst inhabitants, as well as bonds with their city. Art is meant here as an action for the community, and against the disintegration of the social space - through the constitution of new relations among inhabitants, artists, and the city itself. Artistic practices are supposed to transform the audience into the community, and thus to participate in the construction of the public space.

The article's subject is a topographical turn in literary research, considered in association with the spatial turn in humanities. It in particular concerns contemporary reconfigurations, both in the area of new concepts of space and the discipline itself which is open today for circulation of ideas and notions from other areas. The essay indicates the main directions of interest of the research current in question, including e.g.: new regionalism; ecocriticism; literary urban studies; relations between literary representations of space and individual/collective identity; interrelations between literature and geography. Characterised are the basic determinants of new concepts of space, e.g. connecting spatiality with temporality, reinstated category of 'site', interest in hybrid(ic)/transitive spaces and heterotopias, and the fundamental shift in the perspective - from a poetics of space to one of site.
