VALIENTE, Silvia. Narrativa folklórica y representación del territorio: La fuerza del lugar en la propuesta de Horacio Banegas. Rev. Univ. geogr. [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.1, pp. 79-98. ISSN 1852-4265.

This article studies the way folklore narrative leads to the representation of the territory, particularly in the discography proposal of the Santiaguenean singer-author Horacio Banegas analyzed as a study case. This work is comprehended within the critical-historical studies on geography developed in Latin America along the last decade. Specifically, it undertakes the folkloric book song as a type of narrative that accounts for the representation of the Santiaguenean territory and the strength that the local dimension and the place-space acquires there where daily life elapses in front of globalized discourses. The speech technique-analysis considered as the analysis of the referential-semantic components allows to capture on the discoursive surface the historicity of the conflict and elements of fracture with modernity, a fact that is interpreted in the proposal analyzed here as a double vindication. The use of this technique allows to capture the relation text-context and the elements that give sense and thickness of the territory when exposing the way in which people use the land, organize themselves and give sense to the place.

Keywords : Folklore Narrative; Representation of the Territory; Historicity; Place.
