THE FEMALE BODY IN A TRAUMATIC LANDSCAPE: SPACE AND CORPOREALITY IN OKSANA VASYAKINA’S NOVEL ROSE

The article examines how corporeality and space interact and mutually constitute one another in Oksana Vasyakina’s novel Rosa (2023). Drawing on Michel Foucault’s theories of power and spatial organization, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of the lived body, and Doreen Massey’s feminist geography, the study explores how bodily experience becomes inseparable from spatial configurations, material environments, and gendered social practices. The analysis demonstrates that the novel stages the body not only as a site of memory, trauma, and affect, but also as a spatial agent whose movements, limits, and vulnerabilities actively shape the narrative environment. Conversely, spaces in Rosa—domestic interiors, urban landscapes, transitory zones— acquire meaning only through their bodily inhabitation and through the protagonist’s sensorial, emotional, and gendered engagements with them. By synthesizing Foucauldian notions of discipline and biopolitics, Merleau-Ponty’s concept of embodied perception, and Massey’s understanding of space as relational and power-laden, the article reveals how Vasyakina reconfigures the relationship between place and the female body, presenting it as dynamic, processual, and politically charged.
