A la escucha de las voces de mujeres. En écoutant les voix des femmes.

Mit Lucía Lijtmaer und Maylis de Kerangal unterwegs in der Stadt – weibliches Erzählen im urbanen Raum als (mögliches) Substrat literarästhetischen Lernens

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse specifically female voices and perspectives on the city using exemplary passages from relevant works by two authors of contemporary Spanish and French literature (Lucía Lijtmaer and Maylis de Kerangal) in order to shed light on the connection between the spatial concepts of non-lieu, lieu anthropologique, hétérotopie, terrain vague and various forms of spaces of affect, imagination and possibility. To this end, it is assumed that urban space and the character's perspective are interdependent. Thus, individual use, patterns of movement and modes of appropriation by the female subjects are analysed and listened to. With the help of a task apparatus for global, selective, detailed and inferential listening comprehension, the extent to which (syn)aesthetic experience can contribute to and motivate emotive learning from exemplary Romance literature of the 21st century is shown in the context of literary didactic (marginal) perspectives and nuances.
