Literary Geology: A Critical Proposal for the Reading of Place. The Case of Fabio Pusterla.

Geology allows us to visualise events that are so distant in time and alien in materiality, thereby challenging the concept of place as a fixed entity.

      ab: Geology allows us to visualise events that are so distant in time and alien in materiality, thereby challenging the concept of place as a fixed entity. This article introduces Literary Geology as a critical approach for reading a place and its temporalities in literature through an analysis of Fabio Pusterla's poetry. Literary Geology draws on Material Ecocriticism, Geocriticism, Literary Geography and Doreen Massey's theory of place as event. By examining geological matter and perspectives, Literary Geology explores representations of place within the temporalities of the Anthropocene. In doing so, this approach addresses the socio-political contexts that shape places, particularly in the midst of current geographical transformations. The article first presents the theoretical foundations of this approach and then analyses the 'spaces of collapse' that Pusterla creates to represent the border between Italy and Switzerland. Through this analysis, the article questions the role of borders in place-making and identity demarcation.
