Ruch i bezruch w badaniach literacko-geograficznych nad przejawami życia literackiego w łódzkich kawiarniach – ujęcie metodologiczne

Abstract

The concepts of movement and stillness can be interpreted as categories that reflect the attitudes and modes of activity adopted by scholars across various disciplines, particularly in relation to their research methods. Geographical inquiry-especially fieldwork in cultural geography, which employs techniques such as inventories, photographic documentation, observation, and interviews-necessarily involves the researcher’s physical movement through space. By contrast, literary studies traditionally operate within a framework of immobility. However, this does not preclude the effective application of spatially mobile research methods to literary scholarship, particularly when examining the forms and practices of contemporary literary life in café settings.
