Overview

Space is a central topic in cultural and narrative theory today, although in most cases theory assumes Newtonian absolute space. However, the idea of a universal homogeneous space is now obsolete. Black holes, multiple dimensions, quantum entanglement, and spatio-temporal distortions of relativity have passed into culture at large. In this book, the author examines whether narrative can be used to represent these "impossible" spaces. Each chapter connects narrative deformation of space with historical problematic of time. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the connection between narratology, cultural theory, science fiction, and studies of place.
