-Whose (literary) city is it? Gender Questions in Written Spaces

Summary/Abstract: Gendered spaces are still present in literary works as a “topos” today. In my study, I examine the relationship between public (mainly urban) and private narrative spaces from the perspective of gender. First, I provide a brief socio-literary historical background to my topic, then I examine the symbolic meanings of textualized gender spaces, examining their trauma-narrative possibilities. After that, as an intersection of cognitive narratology and feminist narratology, I present the knowledge-generating aspect of the aforementioned topos through probability design and the 4E theory of cognition, and finally I address the broader problematic of feminine-masculine literary spaces in the light of historical memory and literary canon formation. My goal is to synthesize the little-discussed knowledge about literary gender spaces, and to point out that it is necessary to consciously approach textualized spaces not only from the perspective of writers and readers, but also from the perspective of designers, as well as from the perspective of teaching design culture science.
