| Popis: | The desert as a space is still fascinating people and stimulating the minds of those who nourish curiosity. Its landscape is the setting for cultural, religious, historical, artistic and phantasmagorical constructions and with its labyrinthine paths and surroundings, it offers an inexhaustible reservoir of perceptions for its inhabitants, researchers, visitors and admirers. Moreover, the image of the cultural other is stylized in this topographical environment. From a literary point of view, its location is a fertile ground for literary creativity and inspiration. This essay attempts to analyze the ambivalent side of the desert as a polyphonic and transcultural space for possible moments of enunciation, using the example of Karl May’s novel „Durch die Wüste“ (1892). The intention is also to examine the various facets of this space and its function as a plot and aesthetic-poetic topos of cultural Otherness in May’s poetry. |
