Description
Summary:Adolescence is a phase of transition, change and upheaval. These processes are often translated into movements through space in literary representations. The narrated space is to be read in its construction and semantics as a complex symbol carrier that is able to connect different dimensions with one another. With reference to cultural-scientific spatial theories, the study develops a methodical model to analyze current youth novels from a topographical perspective and thus to discuss the interweaving of space, movement and growing up. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Räume der Adoleszenz by Anna Stemmann, published by J.B Metzler, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors
