摘要

Real spaces can be constituted linguistically in different ways through the guiding difference between fact and fiction. Judging by the number of literary dedications, Berlin seems to be a particularly popular subject of factual narration, and will therefore be used to analyse narratological spatial constitution in three contemporary works: Tanja Dücker’s Mein altes West-Berlin (2016), Erwin Seitz’s Unter den Linden (2022), and Brigitte Landes’s Die verschwundene Stadt (2024). Dücker explores Berlin after 1945; Seitz recounts the history of ‘Unter den Linden’, Berlin’s most famous boulevard; and Landes delves into the Tiergarten district. This comparative analysis aims to demonstrate that the same space – Berlin – can be constituted and conveyed in very different ways, both spatially and cognitively. To illustrate this, the analysis of the three texts draws on narratological approaches by Martínez, Genette, Dennerlein, Piatti, Bachelard, Nitsch and Schumacher, as well as Winfried Fluck’s concept of cognitive transfer.
