The sixth chapter moves our attention from time in the ‘modes of spatio-temporal compression’ to spaces in the critically irreal Arab feminist Gothic aesthetic (WReC, Combined and Uneven Development: Towards a New Theory of World-Literature. Liverpool University Press, 2015, 17). This chapter analyses what I call “dis-located spaces”. From haunted houses or unfathomable wildernesses like forests and deserts, to labyrinthine city streets. In this chapter I explain “dis-location” as a way of registering multiple forms of dispossession; I read Shibli’s Minor Detail [tafṣīl thānawī] (2020 [2017]) as a road-horror, I explore a variety of “dis-located” spaces, which become untethered from reality by not following the logical rules of proximal space, or spaces which are no longer there, due to conflict, colonialism, and capitalist seizure in the work of Al-Tahawy, Ez Eldin, El Saadawi, Al-Shaykh, Al-Joundi, and Shibli. Such texts depict spaces, and the minoritised people in them as “dis-located”, whether supernaturally or surreally departed from the logics of real spacial organisation, or the people within them are “dis-located” and live as ghosts. These texts draw our attention to how literal and figurative spaces are organised around conditions of violence, suppression, and consumption which could be organised otherwise. These texts do not demonstrate the potential for the “otherwise”, but rather the absurdity of the way things are.
