602.More information
In Nicolas Dickner's coming of age novel Nikolski, the protagonists' emancipation and self-determination are conditioned by the absence of family ties. The three protagonists, who are free from stereotypes, discover their identity by means of stories, events, travels and contacts that destiny seems to send to them. As their emancipatory processes are essentially determined by the places in which they dwell, this article focuses on the analysis of these in-between places where the familiar and the unfamiliar meet, and that result in fortuitous encounters changing the course of the characters' lives. These developments will be analyzed through the notion of the contact zone, which enables an in-depth study of the effects of the liminal places and encounters between the characters.
