Absently staring at the Nicki-channel for "Sponge Bob" and "Fairly Good Parents," I had the impression I saw "Ramsdale" and a road-sign indicating "Nabokovia."

Une ville de fiction ou ville imaginaire est une ville qui n'existe pas dans le monde réel, où se déroule l'action d'une ouvre de fiction. La ville n'existe donc pas en dehors de l'imagination des auteurs, lecteurs, participants au jeu, et autres usagers de ladite ouvre. Ceux-ci replacent parfois cette ville ou ce lieu dans une géographie précise et réelle afin de crédibiliser la ville et de profiter de certains lieux communs ou certaines caractéristiques géographiques (météo, lieux environnants, habitants, faune, flore, etc.).

The movie is understood as a fictionalized travelogue where Humbert Humbert is the great organizer whose point of view channels the representation of America and determines the way actors incarnate characters. Despite claims that the movie does not render visually the travels of Humbert and Lolita through the United States, Kubrick anchors his fiction in a determinate setting. The three levels of American space (poetic, realist, and metafictional) help us to understand Humbert's ironic stance on American culture and his feeling of estrangement in a sex-crazed America.
