Antarctica was the last territory to be discovered on Earth since it was not until 1819 that human biengs set foot there. Therefore, in modern literature, the expedition to the unknown south has a rich tradition, mixing great adventures, horrors, and omens. In this article, I analyze five texts in which the journey to the white continent is imagined as a catabasis—travel to hell—as well as a provocation (hybris) to universal order: “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (1798) by ST Coleridge, The Narrative of AG Pym (1838) by EA Poe, The Sphinx of the Ice Fields by J. Verne (1897), At the Mountains of Madness (1936) by HP Lovecraft, and The Conquerors of Antarctica (1945) by the Chilean F. Coloane. A comparative reading of these works shows structural and symbolic repetitions that account for a critical key: the power of wild nature over the human record and the catastrophe to which the spirit of conquest and domination can lead.","PeriodicalId":312767,"journal":{"name":"Tekoporá Revista Latinoamericana de humanidades ambientales y estudios territoriales","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114377735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently - and from the perspective of the humanities (the history of science in particular) - in this article, I will analyze the narrative tensions that surround the founding scenario on which the imminent company of colonization of Mars is articulated. According to Diana Taylor and Juan Pimentel, I will break down how, through the administration of the idea of fascination, science and scientists became the protagonists on the scene of the discovery and conquest of new territories. Simultaneously –and in dialogue with Face to Gaia, by Latour– I will inscribe the conflicts that the Martian conquest supposes in a genealogy that relates it to the figurations of the Antarctic travels of the first modernity and the colonization of America. From the Antarctic mirror, this text predicts the fate of the Martian illusion.","PeriodicalId":312767,"journal":{"name":"Tekoporá Revista Latinoamericana de humanidades ambientales y estudios territoriales","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131813197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main question of this paper is what are the causes and consequences of forced displacement that the film presents and what do they have to do with ecological territories? I argue that through haptic film techniques (Marks 2000), which use vision as a sense of touch, the film makes viewers experience some of effects of the environmental violence that Rob Nixon (2011) calls slow violence. I argue the film not only explores the peasant migration from one rural space to another, but also deals with the movement of political borders on ecological territories caused by the extractivism of the sugar cane monoculture. I claim that slow violence is also exercised against non-human beings and ecosystems and I explore how the film exposes different types of precariousness and turns the viewer into a witness of this type of political violence.","PeriodicalId":312767,"journal":{"name":"Tekoporá Revista Latinoamericana de humanidades ambientales y estudios territoriales","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117011741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This permanent state of transformation, which often places exceptionality as the rule, generates complex situations of inequality, of inclusions and exclusions, of receptions and expulsions. Although there is an academic background of research that has investigated these issues, it is interesting to do so from the perspective of the visual arts. As “memory devices” (Giunta, 2014) they contribute to the social and political memory of cities, favoring other possible stories about the link between individuals and their environment. A reflection on these issues through a visual arts frame will potentially help to account for the complex relationships that are established in tourist cities between those who inhabit them and those who visit them, how they do it, how they relate them and how they represent them.","PeriodicalId":312767,"journal":{"name":"Tekoporá Revista Latinoamericana de humanidades ambientales y estudios territoriales","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132122116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From this perspective, Punta del Este is seen as an example of a tourist city in dispute over territory and public spaces. The displacement of communities, the exceptions to construction regulations, competition for advertising spaces, among others, are examples of the tensions that occur in this place. However, they are not always part of what is visible or narrated.
