Prispevek obravnava koncept prostora oz. prostorov in proces njihovega vzpostavljanja v Dermiju/Drimadesu v južni Albaniji. Z vsebino kratkih biografij štirih pripovedovalcev in njihovih zgodb ponazarja, kako pripovedovalci v spominjanju na selitve in potovanja v različne kraje, nenehno kartirajo poti. Te razmejujejo, zamejujejo in po-ustvarjajo prostore, znotraj katerih pripovedovalci opredeljujejo svojo pripadnost.

The paper discusses the concept of space or spaces and the process of their construction and reconstruction in Dhermi/Drimades, Southern Albanija. Short biographies of four story-tellers and their stories are introduced. The analysis of their contents illustrates how the story-tellers in remembering the movements and travelling of their ancestors continuously map the trajectories. These trajectories construct, deconstruct and reconstruct the boundaries that define the spaces whithin which the story-tellers constitute their belonging.
