Landscape, Nation and Likeness of the Peasant. Views of an Imaginative Chile

Main Article Content

Sebastián Schoennenbeck Grohnert

Abstract

When assuming the landscape as a way of representing and imagining the nation, this work analyzes the painting of Alexander Ciccarelli Vista de Santiago desde Peñalolén and some present landscaping descriptions in the Chilean stories Durante la Reconquista (Alberto Blest Gana), Días de campo (Federico Desire) and Zurzulita (Mariano Latorre) as constructions that faints its historical character and, therefore ideologically naturalizes the national imaginary. The landscapes analyzed herein have been historically placed in different time scenes of the nation (B. Subercaseaux) to the extend that they leave out or partially present the popular subject.
