Abstract
Resumen: Bertrand Westphal, profesor de literatura general y comparada de la Université de Limoges, desarrolla como ensayista una obra fundada en la geocrítica. Este eje de investigación, iniciado por el mismo autor, explora las interacciones entre los espacios humanos y la literatura y, al mismo tiempo, su repercusión en la configuración de las identidades culturales. Westphal ha desplegado estas tesis interdisciplinares principalmente en tres ensayos (2007; 2011; 2016); el último de ellos, La Cage des méridiens, es analizado en este artículo una vez introducidas las principales características de su perspectiva geoliteraria.
