These thematic and formal properties enable the text to construct a world-knowledge that presents readers with an alternative to extant globalization narratives insofar as it resists their drive toward a comprehension of the planet in terms of completeness, homogenization, abstraction, and totalization.Īdelson, Leslie. It shows how Atlas’s literary–visual form foregrounds selectiveness, inexhaustibility, and heterogeneity, and demonstrates the text’s relative independence from the need to organize places and events through a narrative progression in time and space. The chapter argues that Schalansky’s short prose texts develop an alterity-oriented world-knowledge. The chapter analyzes the text’s propositional world-knowledge as it appears on a discursive level as well as its non-propositional world-knowledge as produced through the text’s aesthetic form. Judith Schalansky’s Atlas of Remote Islands ( Atlas der abgelegenen Inseln, 2009) constructs an alternative knowledge of the world in a globalization age.
