The topographical turn in the humanities has opened up new research perspectives, such as geopoetics. In this spirit, we invite you to reflect together on literary representations of cities, architecture as an inspiration for literature, urban space in literature/literature in urban space, the genology of urban texts, the text-image relationship in urban narratives, the (non-)fictionality of urban texts, and the categories of locus amoenus and locus horridus, particularly in Francophone literature.
