Waterways and Air Lanes: Spaces of Transition in Joseph Conrad, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Salman Rushdie
The purpose of this study is to explore two samples of space that are well-established cultural symbols of dislocation, transition and liminality – water and air. They have been shaped by a variety of mythological, religious, political and technological discourses and have also been charted by maps of real and imagined journeys. In spite of all the attempts that have been made to delimit them and render them as comprehensible as possible, they continue to leak through the frames of maps and disperse the traces of the various routes that seek to explain and order them. I have chosen to focus on selected works by three writers – Joseph Conrad, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Salman Rushdie – who stand at a significant distance from one another, but share an intensity of commitment to water and air.
