Throughout the long nineteenth century, past and present had become traces and layers, burdened with an inescapable dimension of absence. Writers, scholars and architects, political theorists, artists, visitors of museums and exhibitions, the miller in Provence and the shepherd in the Landes, were facing a rapidly changing world. The present had become elusive and fragile. The past was irrevocably gone and other. In an initial context of loss, of dispersion and disconnection of lands, people, professions and things, new frameworks of meaning and imagination, of "presentification", had to be found, tools of preservation, of restoration, of (re)establishment and vivification. Place and text become such tools. Against a concise background of comparative literature and contemporary philosophy on absence and presentification, this essay explores spatial images in French and Belgian nineteenth-century literature, especially in the work of Chateaubriand, Balzac, Rodenbach and Mistral. It is argued that the spatial image, as textual space and spatial text, and in the built environment, operates as a cultural subtext of presentification. Its disruptive nature, its own fragility and eventual self-fragmentation reveal the cultural ambiguities of the century's tragic and grand strife to make the elusive present eternal, timeless, fixed, absenceless and complete in the age of traces. 650 0 $a French literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Belgian literature (French) $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Space and time in literature. 650 7 $a Belgian literature (French) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830088 650 7 $a French literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934688 650 7 $a Space and time in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127645 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Studies in iconology ; $v 12. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120032936.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26C8F9D22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
