On the basis of selected writings of Georg Forster, Alexander von Humboldt, and Adelbert von Chamisso, the author highlights the increasing speed with which knowledge, especially in the experiential sciences, is produced and disseminated following the routes of ever-widening trade speeded along by globalization. The notion of 'vectopia' stands for the connection of utopia and uchronia in space and time in such a way that the experience of the world, expanded worldwide, contains within it a Weiter-Leben, a 'living-further' that is to be understood first in a spatial, and not yet temporal, sense, of what Forster called Erfahrungswissen, or 'experiential knowledge.' Vectopia, as elaborated here, has a material dimension that relates to the physical person, the body, the experience of the world that cannot occur without the constant changing of place, without a journeying that is again and again recommenced. Vectopia develops the projection of a life not from space or from time alone, but by their combination. Vectopia is more than a concept, it is a thought-figure: it is vitally connected to life, and thus a life-figure. It opens itself to a type of knowledge that stands almost at the threshold of a further life, indeed, of a Weiterleben that, opening itself to a 'living-onward,' resides beyond space, time, and movement.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2018, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {TransArea Tangier}, series = {Re-mapping World Literature Writing, Book Markets and Epistemologies between Latin America and the Global South / Escrituras, mercados y epistemolog{\´i}as entre Am{\´e}rica Latina y el Sur Global}, journal = {Re-mapping World Literature Writing, Book Markets and Epistemologies between Latin America and the Global South / Escrituras, mercados y epistemolog{\´i}as entre Am{\´e}rica Latina y el Sur Global}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-054957-7}, issn = {2513-0757}, doi = {10.1515/9783110549577-019}, pages = {283 -- 321}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2005, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Literature without fixed residence : Insularity, history and sociocultural dynamic in XXth century Cuba}, year = {2005}, abstract = {From its very beginnings, Cuban literature has been a literature with no fixed abode: written between Cuba and Mexico (Jose Maria Heredia), Cuba and Spain (Gertrudis Gomez de Avellanedo), Cuba and the US.
