description This text addresses the relationship between literature, philosophy, history and geography, focusing on a very particular element: the landscape. This through the analysis of its representation and enunciation in the liminal scenarios located southeast of New Spain from three narrations of travelers who toured the area between the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. This with the purpose of understanding what is the conception of nature that prevailed over them in relation to the three theses of the Gorgian thought. From this analysis it is argued that in the conception of nature, nothingness and non-being are, from the idea of emptiness, potentially more creative elements for narrating the landscape than the whole and being seen from space which serves as the setting for the action of man.

El presente texto aborda la relación existente entre la literatura, la filosofía, la historia y la geografía, centrándose en un elemento muy particular: el paisaje. Esto a través del análisis de su representación y enunciación en los escenarios liminales ubicados al sureste de la Nueva España a partir de tres narraciones de viajeros que recorrieron la zona entre finales del siglo XVII y principios del XIX. Esto con el propósito de comprender cuál es la concepción de la naturaleza que sobre ellos primó a propósito de las tres tesis del pensamiento gorgiano. A partir de este análisis se sostiene que en la concepción de la naturaleza la nada y el no ser son, a partir de la idea del vacío, elementos potencialmente más creativos para la narración del paisaje que el todo y el ser vistos a partir del espacio que funge como escenario de la acción del hombre. Este texto aborda a relação entre literatura, filosofia, história e geografia, enfocando um elemento muito particular: a paisagem. Isso através da análise de sua representação e enunciação nos cenários liminares localizados a sudeste da Nova Espanha a partir de três narrativas de viajantes que percorreram a área entre o final do século XVII e início do século XIX. Isso com o objetivo de compreender qual é a concepção de natureza que prevaleceu sobre eles em relação às três teses do pensamento gorgiano. A partir dessa análise, argumenta-se que, na concepção da natureza, o nada e o não-ser são, a partir da idéia de vazio, elementos potencialmente mais criativos para narrar a paisagem do que o todo e serem vistos do espaço. que serve como cenário para a ação do homem.
