Abstract

From the evidences provided by the reading of Michel Onfray (2009), François Ricard (2000 e 2001), François Paré (1992, 2003 e 2007), Jean Morency (2006 e 2009) and Milton Santos (2000), a reflection upon the cartography of affec­tion in Gabrielle Roy’s imaginary is intended. The guiding idea to these reflections is to show how the awareness of belonging to an inhabited space is strictly linked to the feeling of existing in Royan’s poetic. To get an enhanced contact with the sense of the act of locating herself, the author explored, as François Ricard (2001) suggests, the experience of foreignness and displacement, which gave her access to the discovery of otherness.
