dc.description.abstractWithin the complex vibrations of modern times, the spatial representations in literature and art mirror the multiplex of the human experience. This dissertation aims to investigate the physicality and the non-physicality of The Goldfinch’s heterotopia and its therapeutic potential when it becomes a Thirdspace. Thus, in light of Foucault’s theory of heterotopia, Edward Soja’s Thirdspace concept, and Arthur Frank’s narrative healing, it reads that the concept of heterotopia as a Thirdspace, a non-physical dimension, creating a site of healing. It analyzes Theodore Decker’s deep connection to art and narratives within the physicality of various settings. Then, it investigates how art creates non-physical, therapeutic spaces that enable narrative healing and self-discovery through a direct influence. Furthermore, the dissertation reveals how these heterotopic Thirdspaces enhance psychological development and emotional reflection. It also highlights the essential role of art in both public and private spheres where it emphasizes that true artistic expression often requires shelter from societal pressures. The conclusion demonstrates the transformative power of art and narrative in fostering psychological well-being and healing.
