Фикционалното пространство: остранностяването като свобода
Fictional space: Outlandishing as a Freedom

Summary/Abstract: The article Fictional space: defamiliarization as liberation is an attempt to outline the concept of “fictional space” – the space constructed into and by the literary work – through the reification/defamiliarization dichotomy, paying special attention to the fictional urban space. if the “objectively real” urban space we live in is permanently endangered by the processes of reification, then the literary work, intensively employing the method of defamiliarization (after Shklovsky) provides a way to re- claim space, to resettle it with meaning. The article focuses on examples from James Joyce’s Ulysses and Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist to study the relations between the fictional and the “objectively real” urban space, the method of defamiliarization at work, and the possibilities of liberating and living urban space through literature.
