초록
This essay examines how space as metaphor functions as a rhetorical trope for the space of otherness through which female liberation is represented in Susan Glaspell’s The Verge. Drawing upon Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of differential space, this essay provides a close reading of the implications of spatial concepts related with built structures of the greenhouse and tower. Such concepts are visually valuable in expressing the properties of space concerned with patriarchal system or female liberation. In contrast with the patriarchal society symbolized as the space inside a circle, a “different” space for liberating women is represented in terms of “out,” “outness,” “out there,” and “otherness.” It is argued that the spatial concepts of architecture in The Verge serve as a strategy for visually challenging the audience to act out against existing traditions and norms so as to secure a “concrete utopia,” where women are guaranteed spatial justice.
