弗兰克·莫莱蒂(Franco Moretti)称自己是"地图制造者"。他绘制文学地图,认为地理形塑文学的情节、叙事风格和结构。在地理因素的影响下,文学内部形成乡村空间、城镇空间和国家空间。乡村空间是自足的、诗意的空间,人们拥有自由的身体;城镇空间是半开放的、过渡的空间,联系着乡村和未知世界,人们拥有半自由的身体;国家空间是开放的空间,是各种因素的镶嵌和拼贴,人们只拥有压抑的身体。莫莱蒂的三重文学空间观充斥着意识形态性,凸显了现代性危机。
Franco Moretti said he is a "maker of map".He draws a map of the literature,which is considered as the plot,style and structure of the geography.Under the influence of geographical factors,the formation of countryside space,town space and the big city space is formed in the literature.Countryside space is a self-sufficient,poetic space where people have the freedom of the body; the town space is a semi open,transitional space,linked to the country and the unknown world where people have a semi free body; the big city space is open space,is a variety of factors and collage,people only have suppress the body.Moretti' s three literary space concept is full of ideology,and it highlights the modernity crisis.
