"The City that Truly Counts" - the Meaningful Cityscape of Jim Crace's Six

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Jim Crace&apos;s ability to create both authentic and poetic geographic and topographic renderings has led critics to coin the term &quot;Craceland&quot; to denote these idiosyncratic settings that appear other and relatable at the same time. His narrative power lies in his ability to render places and spaces which, in spite of their wholly fictitious character, evoke a strong feeling of plausibility and familiarity. His milieux are never abstracted from the human element, and his stories examine the close link between his protagonists and the places they occupy or move through, thus emphasising the experiential and emotional dimension of space and place. Six (2003), his seventh novel, set in an unnamed imaginary present-day city, follows the fate of Lix Dern, a celebrated actor and a father of six children, in his life and career. Along with Arcadia (1992) and The Melody (2018), Six ranks among its author&apos;s urban novels which explore the diverse aspects of the interrelatedness between modern cityscape and its inhabitants&apos; mental and physical existence. By using humanistic geography and phenomenological geocriticism as its theoretical points of departure, this paper attempts to analyse the roles the city assumes in conveying the novel&apos;s principal thematic concerns, as well as to demonstrate how Six differs from Crace&apos;s other two urban novels.
