Geographical and Imaginary Spaces: Sergei Bulgakov and Joanna Reitlinger In Prague

Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty |
2015

Abstract

This article explores how Father Sergii Bulgakov and Sister Joanna Reitlinger reacted to the new space of Prague, as geographical setting and imaginary space. With the help of Gaston Bachelard it looks at their images of a native house and motherland and then analyzes the philosophical category of daydreaming.

Then the article looks at the connection between intimate immensity, the discontinuity of time and Holy Wisdom. It concludes by looking at the way the play between the geographical and imaginary opens up space for the other both on the horizontal and vertical level.
