This imagery as well as its tendency to design Lisbon as a city-ship shall be examined with regard to spatial construction in the Livro de Bordo. Urban sailing as well as the recurrent representations of the Portuguese capital's spaces as heterotopias will be interpreted as approaches to subvert institutional and homogenic discourses on Lisbon.}, language = {de} } @article{Henk2021, author = {Henk, Lars Thorben}, title = {«We're on the road to nowhere» - Felwine Sarrs narrativer Weg in die Afrotopie}, series = {promptus - W{\"u}rzburger Beitr{\"a}ge zur Romanistik}, volume = {7}, journal = {promptus - W{\"u}rzburger Beitr{\"a}ge zur Romanistik}, issn = {2364-6705}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-305662}, pages = {73-90}, year = {2021}, abstract = {According to the Senegalesian scholar Felwine Sarr who conceives an African utopia in his programmatic essay Afrotopia (2016), this Afrotopos has already germinated in contemporary African literature. However, it still needs to be enquired to what extent the narrated topos of the street in Sarr's own anthology 105 Rue Carnot (2011) has already realized the Afrotopos. In order to respond to this question, we would like to mobilise Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, which elaborates on the interactions between truth production/knowledge, power and space, and permits us to conceive of «les lieux utopiques» (Foucault 2005: 40) as actually locatable on the map and real other places outside of all places (cf. Foucault 1994: 755). Thus, in the street, a different relationship between global North and South is founded, which becomes legible as an African «utopie localis{\´e}e» (Foucault 2005: 41) that Sarr calls for in Afrotopia (2016).}, language = {de} }
