Mitigation is a highly complex pragmatic phenomenon which has been prioritized as a subject of study in recent decades. However, because of this complexity, there is still neither a convincing definition of exactly what mitigation is nor a definitive list of the linguistic and non-verbal resources through which it is carried out. For this reason, several empirical studies which seek to explain sociopragmatic and geolectal variability in the uses and strategies of mitigation are under way. This is also the aim of our paper, included in the Project for the Sociolinguistic Study of Spanish from Spain and America (PRESEEA). In it, we present relevant data obtained from the comparison of what occurs in Madrid, Valencia, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Puebla (Mexico) regarding the frequency of the production of mitigation and its function in transactional interaction, together with the most productive strategies used in each community. This enables us to identify convergences and divergences and pinpoint sociopragmatic and geolectal patterns.

This paper sets out to examine a specific body of fictional narratives featuring tourists as protagonists. It is the experience of tourists that determines the plot development, dynamics and denouement of these narratives, and the present paper focuses in particular on Elizabeth Bowen's novel The Hotel (1927) and Tennessee Williams's The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1950). The representation of tourists in fiction contradicts what most theories within tourism study posit, as these fictional tourists are placed outside their comfort zone and, additionally, perceived as individuals, not part of a homogeneous mass. Such placement outside a circumscribed world, as the analysis of the two novels shows, is achieved by heterotopian spatiality which the texts construct, whereby the concept of heterotopia relies on Michel Foucault's writing. The aspect of individuality is stressed through the narrative technique called free indirect discourse; spatiality and narrative combined thus set the scene for representing the experience of tourists. Protagonists in the two novels, Sydney Warren and Karen Stone, embody Dean MacCannell's and Zygmunt Bauman's views of tourists as modern pilgrims, in search of self-discovery through interaction with otherness. Using extracts from both novels, the paper shows how this otherness is constructed spatially, the role narration plays in the process, and the effect it has on tourist protagonists. The analysis results can, finally, be used to advance the academic study of the interconnection between space and narrative in literary [sic] a journal of literature, culture and literary translation Borders and Crossings No. 2 Year 10 04/2020 LC.1 ISSN 1847-7755; doi: 10.15291/sic/2.10.lc.1 2 fiction and deepen the understanding of tourists’ behavior in relation to the particular place in which they find themselves.
本文旨在研究一类以游客为主角的虚构叙事。游客的经历决定了这些叙事的情节发展、动态和结局，本文特别关注伊丽莎白·鲍恩的小说《旅馆》(1927)和田纳西·威廉姆斯的《斯通夫人的罗马之春》(1950)。小说中游客的形象与大多数旅游研究理论的假设相矛盾，因为这些虚构的游客被置于他们的舒适区之外，此外，他们被视为个体，而不是同质群体的一部分。正如对两部小说的分析所表明的那样，这种置身于一个被限定的世界之外的位置是通过文本构建的异托邦空间性来实现的，而异托邦的概念依赖于米歇尔·福柯的写作。通过被称为自由间接话语的叙事技巧强调个性方面;空间性和叙事性的结合为游客的体验设定了场景。两部小说中的主人公悉尼·沃伦和卡伦·斯通体现了迪恩·麦卡内尔和齐格蒙特·鲍曼将游客视为现代朝圣者的观点，他们通过与他人的互动来寻找自我发现。本文从这两部小说的节选中，揭示了这种差异性是如何在空间上建构的，叙述在这一过程中所起的作用，以及它对游客主角的影响。最后，分析结果可用于推进文学中空间与叙事相互联系的学术研究[原文如此].文学文化与文学翻译杂志《边界与交叉》第2期，2010年04/2020 LC.1 ISSN 1847-7755;doi: 10.15291 / sic / 2.10.lc。虚构并加深对游客与他们所处的特定地点有关的行为的理解。
