In an approach to discourse analysis, we will analyze the construction of a shared knowledge through the theme of spatiality within two guides, the Guide du Routard (The Rough Guide) and the Guide Gallimard. We will try to demonstrate that the speaker addresses to a “traveling” reader or to a “sedentary”, static reader and that he discursively constructs a “guided” space through his didactic and pragmatic view. This angle will extend the reflection on the relationship between the extra-discursive object and the representation that the reader makes of it. The study of some selected texts will reveal that the notion of space is developed in the discourse through the mobilization of socio-cultural representations and that this space is also the place of the construction of the speaker’s specific positioning.
