A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The “map” doesn’t always square with urban fiction. That is one result found while studying some of the twentieth century’s novels written in the border town of Tangier. These novels are referential “portraits,” just like a “map,” a “route novel,” an “architecture,” and at the same time, a deconstruction of any reference, till the town reaches emptiness. The town image is built through its toponyms, following a course of memory. Finally, the portrait of this town is “reflexive.” It superimposes to urban forms certain features of the subject itself. We will try, through these elements of Tangier’s literature, to go forward in a modern reading of the town.
