The landscape how topic, problem and situation

Abstract

The place of enunciation that sustains a discourse not only refers to the socioeconomic conditions that cross the subjects but also to the determined space that makes possible a particular existence. In this sense, the landscape can be presented, as well as a topic, as a situation in which and through which an artistic work is produced. To make this travel to the speaker's site, the turn of the relation with Kant's nature in his feeling of the sublime is interesting to recover to Debray in his reference to the 'geography of art'. This 'return to the ground' is one more point from which we can think about the framework of the landscape. And the case that calls principally our attention is the figure of 'La Pampa' in the Argentine writings, having as its first reference Facundo by Sarmiento. This concept, taken up by Horacio González, is not only a topic: the landscape transcends its physical place to move as a category, without leaving to be a place. At the same time, the project turn on to the situation that affects the conformation of senses that construct not only about the site but also too about the habitants.
