The paper summarizes some remarks on the metaphor of map, as it is used within the field of geopoetics. The first of its meanings refers to representation of literary space in a work of fiction. The second is often applied to describe an imaginary vision of real geographic (political, economic etc.) space. It is therefore determined (or “created”) by culture, or rather by innumerable cultural texts, which affect our common, i.e. culture-dependent imagination. In both cases “the map” should not be considered as a representation in its traditional meaning of something essentially present or given. Instead, Deleuzian metaphors of the rhizome and the fold seem more convenient here, as they highlight this unready, process- and interpretation-dependent character. The sets of metaphorical notions, such as “fold/ply”, “double fold/twofold/two-ply” and “folding/creasing/ironing imaginary maps” are used in this paper to clarify the idea of “antechamber effect”. In consequence, this is a phenomenon which, within the realm of literary imagination, renders some real territories with weak cultural potential nonexistent.

Artykuł jest rekonesansem badawczym, który próbuje rozpoznać zagadnienie przestrzeni w prozie Zygmunta Haupta. Polemizuje on z tezą o dominującym charakterze kategorii temporalnych w obrębie tego pisarstwa i kreśli ramy kartografii literackiej opartej na charakteryzowanych tu mechanizmach postrzegania przestrzeni. Kartografia ta operuje ciągłym napięciem pomiędzy terytoriami doświadczonymi i egzotycznymi, pomiędzy fizycznością miejsca i geografią wyobrażoną, pomiędzy świadomością będącą zewnętrznym narzędziem poznania a samounicestwianiem się „ja” na rzecz przestrzeni. Kartograficzna działalność Haupta koncentruje się przede wszystkim na trzech rodzajach miejsc autobiograficznych, projektujących, po doświadczeniu wielkich zamierzeń literackich modernizmu, przestrzeń kameralną, dostosowaną do możliwości poznawczych i kreacyjnych jednostki.

The article is a research reconnaissance that attempts to address the problem of space in Zygmunt Haupt’s prose. It polemicizes with the thesis of the dominant character of temporal categories in this writing and draws the frame of literary cartography based on the mechanisms of space perception that are described here. This cartography operates with a constant tension between the experienced and the exotic territories, between the physicality of the place and the imagined geography, between consciousness that is an external tool of cognition and the self-annihilation of the “I” for space. Haupt’s cartographic activity focuses primarily on three types of autobiographical places, which, after experiencing the great literary goals of modernism, delimit a cosy space adapted to the cognitive and creative capabilities of an individual.
