Souza, Lícia Soares de. Pour une Géopoétique interaméricaine. Saint-Denis, Société des écrivains, 2019, 249 p

This summary considers Licia Soares de Souza ́s research on a new model of Urban Geopoetics. This models departs from the semiotics of culture, with its c enter on Semiosphere (LOTMAN, 1982), in which sign processes operate in a goup of many connected environments. The author proposes an inter-american geopoetics based on contemporary novels by Gervais, Mavrikakis, Segura, Proulx, Arcan, among others, who create genuine Montreal spacial figures. The novels analysed approach globalization in the Americas where the island of Montreal develops as an urban space susceptible of losing its French origin references. From the idea of a chess text whose pieces offer different movements on a hypodynamic board, the author priviledges the « flâneur horse » a figure that unstructures the well designed courses with the aim of superimposing images of the invisible city ́s undergounds and of its visible surfaces and through them try to surprise a new geopoetic aesthetics. Key words : Urban geopoetics. Semiosphere. Montreal. Chess text. Flânerie
