LANDSCAPE IN PRESENT BODY IN THE CHRONICLES OF JOSE DONOSO

This article explores the constitution of an urban landscape in present body in a selection of chronicles and notes from diaries by Jose Donoso. Considering contemporary approaches to landscape, as well as the author's own reflections, this work draws attention to a literary space where an affective landscape arises that confronts the dominant political context in the city of Santiago in the 1980s. Articulated from a corporeal and imaginative relation with the city, which implies a play on proximity and distance, this landscape confirms the literary design in Donosos chronicles.
