Description
Abstract
En el relato de viajes, la topografía se presenta como una figura retórica que, más allá de la función descriptiva a que está emparejada, aporta verosimilitud. Este elemento resulta de vital importancia para dicho género al no estar amparado por un pacto ficcional entre la autoría y el público lector. Sin embargo, verosimilitud no es sinónimo de veracidad. En este artículo se analizan diversas descripciones en relatos de viajes a fin de exponer la forma en que la topografía puede conducir a una reconstrucción arbitraria de los espacios.
Abstract: Topography, as far as travel writing is concerned, is a figure of speech that, besides being descriptive, provides verisimilitude. This is extremely important as we know that travelogues are not shielded by a fictional pact between authors and readers. However, verisimilitude is not always a synonym for veracity. By analyzing several landscape descriptions in travel writing, this paper attempts at exploring how topography can eventually lead to an arbitrary reconstruction of spaces.
