Like possible-world thinking, narra

Like possible-world thinking, narrative space is organized around a starting point that—as Merleau-Ponty has noted—must always be the basis upon which other spaces are thought. And, likewise, what makes these spaces meaningful is less an abstract structure—the sort of patterning that Frank describes as “spatial form”—and more the way in which these spaces can be accessed from this immediate “setting.” In this sense we can read Ronen’s near and distant spaces being accessed physically orperceptually; her possible spaces are accessed imaginatively.
