This article aims to question such inertia and bridge the gap between Mariátegui and Latin American geographical thought. It critically interprets the epistemic origin of Mariátegui's foremost geographical notions, recognizing the particular historical context and state of geography during the first decades of the twentieth century. Against the Eurocentric approaches of his time, Mariátegui was one of the first intellectuals to express thought from and for Latin America, but without neglecting fundamental contributions of European and Western traditions (Urquijo y Bocco, 2016). Indeed, Mariátegui questioned the possibility of an absolute Latin American or Latin Americanist thought, all the while confronting the challenge of understanding the “reality” of his country, constructing innovative theses on Peruvian society and culture in which, evidently, geography was not exempt. In his seminal work, Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana (Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, 1928), Mariátegui explains the antagonism and inequality between the coast and the sierra, he identifies the coexistence of three forms of economies (indigenous, colonial, and capitalist) that articulate different social geographies, and he outlines regional problems stemming from political alliances on different social levels, among other issues. Closely examining these analytical positions reveals a powerful geographic and human sensitivity yet to be explored in Mariátegui's thought, as well as the need to critically examine their argumentative origins. To date, the scarce research on theoretical relationships between Mariátegui and geography have only referred to three aspects of this problem. First of all, that Mariátegui's geographical influence comes from certain liberal intellectuals, reflected in a physicist and economistoriented vision of geography, based on localization and industrial growth of the positive “regions” (Ruiz, 2011: 144). Second of all, that Mariátegui elaborated a racist vision of Peru's territory based on the critical dualism of coast/white and sierra/indigenous, which avoided other interregional racial differences (Méndez, 2016). Thirdly, that Mariátegui's unique perception of geographic differences was circumscribed to the social and economic differences of Peruvian reality (Sanjinés, 2009). However, none of these proposals extensively analyze the situation of geography in Mariátegui's particular debate on modern imaginaries, focusing on other subjects of study that stray from strictly epistemological discussions of geography. Therefore, our proposal analyzes and explains the source of M","PeriodicalId":39866,"journal":{"name":"Investigaciones Geograficas","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.14350/rig.57335","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92120071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 1970s, a significant number of structural and geological investigations were carried out in Cuba, all complemented by geophysical data and perforations, Allowing the first division in morphostructural blocks of different hierarchical orders: megabloque, macroblock, mesobloque and smaller blocks. The southern plain of Pinar del Río is located in the mesobloque Batabanó, bordered by the mesobloques Pinar and Habana-Matanzas, and controlled by the Southern Cuban fault system. In the southern plain of Pinar del Río, recent vertical velocities of the order of +2.0 to +4.0 mm / year are reported, according to the geodetic investigations of successive leveling made by others authors in 1989, which influence the conformation of the current relief. The existence of different local morphostructures, anomalies in the drainage network and a coast with submersion characteristics, which condition its marshy nature, are elements that point to the existence of these movements. In general, the main methods used to recognize neotectonic deformations have been instrumental (seismological and geodetic), historical-archeological and geological-geomorphological investigations. In Cuba, sedimentary-structural criteria have been applied to differentiate the tectonic styles of the pliocene-quaternary deposits with respect to the folded substrate. Simultaneously, these hypotheses were corroborated by geophysical criteria and deep drilling data. The development of digital elevation models allows the quantitative characterization of the relief and to recognize the tectonic effect in its evolution, especially in very active tectonic zones. As an essential support for the neotectonic investigations of the Cuban archipelago, quantitative geomorphological investigations and teledección techniques were also included. In these works, morphothectonic methods were applied in a very limited way, since there were no numerical models of the terrain that facilitated their use. In the case of Cuba, the criteria for placing the neotectonics stage in geologic time vary greatly. While some authors identify its inception at the end of the Paleogene, others place it between the late Eocene and the Miocene. From the geomorphological perspective, the neotectonics stage is divided into two sub-stages: early neotectonics (Oligocene-Miocene) and late neotectonics (late Miocene to Pleistocene). In relatively flat regions, such as the southern plains of the Pinar del Río Province, in western Cuba, evidence of neotectonic deformation is not always easily identifiable, especially when attributed to recent geological history. A compounded approach is therefore necessary. During the last prospecting works for sand and gravel deposits, certain regularities were established in the distribution of alluvial sediments, the former riverbeds and the diversion o","PeriodicalId":39866,"journal":{"name":"Investigaciones Geograficas","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.14350/rig.56388","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91985377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this article aims to provide detailed information on analytical geomorphological methods and interpretations of morphography and energy for Mexico’s relief, considering two calculations according to unit area: density contour (km/km<sup>2</sup>) and maximum difference of heights (m/km<sup>2</sup>) - both relief índices -, with the support of GIS ArcView, ArcGIS, and ArcInfo software. A review of existing national atlases revealed that not all countries have morphometric data on their reliefs. Indeed, mapping of this type was only found, in chronological order, in the National Atlas of Cuba (1970), the Atlas of the Slovak Socialist Republic (Slovak Cartography (1983), the National Atlas of Hungary (Geographic Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (1989), the New National Atlas of Cuba (1989), and the National Atlas of Mexico (1990), all on a small scale. In other national atlases, there are only hypsometric and slope steepness maps. The stages for mapping the geomorphometric units of Mexico’s relief were: (1) Construction of the morphographic map: a) Calculation of density contours, b) Data analysis and reclassification, c) Spatial generalization by minimum mappable area, and d) Smoothing of geographic limits; (2) Obtaining a relief ’s energy map: a) Construction of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), b) Calculations for the relief ’s energy map, c) Data reclassification, and d) Spatial generalization; (3) Production of a map of the relief ’s geomorphometric units: a) Overlaying of the morphographic and relief ’s energy maps, b) Spatial statistics, and c) Map of geomorphometric relief units: and 4) Definition, according to morphographic contour, of the two predominant classes of the relief ’s energy. The morphographic map (density of contours in km/km<sup>2</sup>) shows nine range classes: less than 1.0, from 1.0 to 2.0, from 2.1 to 3, from 3.1 to 4, from 4.1 to 5, from 5.1 to 6, from 6.1 to 7, from 7.1 to 8.0, and more than 8.0. On the other hand, the map of the relief ’s energy has 9 ranges (m/km<sup>2</sup>): less than 10.0, from 10.1 to 20.0, from 20.1 to 50.0, from 50.1 to 100.0, from 100.1 to 200.0, from 200.1 to 300.0, from 300.1 to 400.0, from 400.1 to 500.0, and over 500.0. An analysis of this country’s territory reveals that very highly dissected mountainous relief, with dissection values ranging from 501 to 1 300 m/km<sup>2</sup>, evidences a monolithic location pattern associated with major breakups due to erosion in the central portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental and, i","PeriodicalId":39866,"journal":{"name":"Investigaciones Geograficas","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.14350/rig.57019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131653861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
