| Özet: | This critical exploration and the accompanying meta-fictional narrative explore the impetus of how place inspires, despite its inherent truancy of expectation, an articulated desire, a longing or initiation of not-quite memory and its placeless intensity. How do stories of the past of place teach us a way to write story about and within place, to embark on the epistemological anxiety of writing what is ordinary, and thus remarkable. The essay addresses strategies of evasion that writing place enables in worlds that negotiate concealed history. By exploring interstitial space when dwelling place and circumstance together insist on inscribing past inhabitants, place reflects its reflectors. |
