Del espacio a la espacialidad en textos medievales.

Being aware of the wide bibliography devoted to the study of the space in literature, this work pretends, in the first place, to make a review of much of such bibliography in order to show that the term is either ambiguous or scarcely defined. Having done so we came up with the concept of "spatiality" instead of that of "space" since we acknowledge that the construction of space may vary from author to author, from time to time, or from genre to genre and thus require a more comprehensive approach. Within this spatiality we would distinguish between a "grammar" and a "semantics" of the spatiality which would be useful to identify and interpret the spatial elements of the literary work in its context. By doing so we intend here to point at other literary and linguistic elements of the literary work than description which may enforce the study of the medieval texts in a more comprehensive way, especially, medieval ones.
