Abstract
This article is a modified version of a chapter from Kristin Ross’s The Emergence of Social Space. Rimbaud and Paris Commune. Here the author develops three parallel stories examining how conflicts make an imprint on literature and politics and perpetuate the emergence of scientific geography at the end of the 19th century. Although the terms of those conflicts were diverse, they converged upon a concern with the construction of social space. As Ross argues, the ideological notion of space (as something which passively awaits to be conquered) unfolded in parallel among anti-commune politicians, elitist Parnassian poets and the forefathers of French academic geography. Conversely, Rimbaud (along with such radicals as Vermersch and Reclus) outlined a concept of space resistant to competition, hierarchy or the homogenization of reality characteristic for capitalist colonialism.References
