    Abstract

    The aim of this chapter is to examine some of the ramifications of implicit or explicit references to space, place, or displacement in works of narrative literature, and to consider some of the ways in which this may help elucidate the depth of the significance of such references in terms of our experience of life in general. It is suggested that a specific focus on space can enable us to see how spatiality and the related concepts of entity, location, and movement play a major role in the constitution of the self.
