Fleeing landscapes. Imaginaries and geographic architectures in Patagonia

Abstract

The text suggests a geographic understanding in the context of hermeneutic disciplines. Against this backdrop, there is a constant production of geographic imaginaries regarding Patagonia. True geographic architectures are identified, which, in addition to their solid nature, seem to be inevitably in transit, fleeing, mainly to reshape their memory and to understand themselves in a time and –at the same time– cultural horizon. Such escapes –flights or moving horizons– give way to new architectures that aim at becoming strongholds for social understanding, and although they are, they will soon give way to renewed interpretations that shall derive in new landscapes, which will be both material and dreams of an epoch, experiences

and existence of a progression.
