Članek obravnava razumevanje prostora v kanadskem nacionalnem mitu. Po kratki analizi dveh tipičnih ubeseditev razmerja med prostorom in njegovimi retoričnimi ekvivalenti (pri pesnikih J. Newlovu in E. J. Prattu) avtor kritično analizira vlogo prostora v kanadskem imaginariju, kot so ga s svojimi ubeseditvami ustvarili zlasti E. J. Pratt, N. Frye in M. Atwood, pa tudi očitke, ki so jih tovrstnemu imaginariju delno upravičeno namenili pretežno poststrukturalistični literarni teoretiki.The article is a case study analyzing space as part of the Canadian national myth. Following a short study of two typical renderings of the relation between space and its rhetoric counterparts (in the poetry of John Newlove and E. J. Pratt), the author offers a critical overview of the Canadian imaginary of space as predominantly constituted in the works of E. J. Pratt, Northrop Frye, and Margaret Atwood, as well as an overview of their poststructuralist detractors
