Název v původním jazyce

The Gothic, Romantic and Victorian Tradition with Respect to the Poetics of the Sublime: The Space of Transylvania and Victorian London in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper analyzes the perception and construction of space in Bram Stoker?s most famous novel. The first setting, Transylvanian forests surrounding Dracula?s castle, is defined as a form of sublime space with respect to the Gothic atmosphere of the unknown, terrifying and beautiful as stated by Edmund Burke?s treatise. The theoretical background of the paper is based on Deleuze and Guattari?s categories of defining space (i.e. the notion of the smooth and striated space) to trace the basic intertwining of the two categories, namely in the projection of the seemingly contrasting spaces of Transylvania and Victorian London. The general notion of space in Dracula can be understood as the space which becomes smooth with the presence of the Gothic aspect, presence of the Other, unknown sublime and perversely beautiful. The paper further explores the topic of the sublime space of the sea which appears in Dracula before his ship reaches the English shore. The space sublimity of the English soil and especially the city of London remains questioned in the conclusion.
