Experienced Space, Created Space: Literary Topographies of Litzmannstadt Getto (Reconnaissance). Part One

Abstracts

EN

In this part of the article I discuss the question of potential relations between the styles of the topography of Litzmannstadt Getto and the situation of the authors of non-fictional and fictional texts devoted to it. I distinguish, for example, records of the space of this ghetto made by those who experienced it (endotopia) as well as those whose creators modeled it from an external perspective: culturally, discursively mediated (exotopia). I state that in non-fictional narrations-testimonies space is ubiquitous, foremost as the figure of closing and enslavement, though basically unrepresented. For only in but a few of them one can find topographies of the Lodz Ghetto understood as involving senses, conducive to visualizations, imaginary reconstruction: descriptions of the organization of this space, its appearance and endemic properties.
