Abstract
This paper explores the links between language (speech, language, and writing) and land/ earth (geo): can language say land, can land be a language? From the notion of figure, we will postulate literality to analyse the land of language and pathography to explore the language of land. Our study summons a concert of voices and ideas coming from apparently dissimilar theories because it will make of that dissimilarity its major bet: a theoretical twist for a situated thinking that assumes its differences, its traditions, and its translations.
