El lugar del paisaje en la geografía moderna

Abstract

The landscape has occupied an outstanding place in the modern geography. From its origins, at the beginning of the 19th Century, the modern geographic tradition has done of landscape one of its main objects of knowledge, and it has tried, when studying it, incorporating the romantic legacy, to combine in a well-balanced form the explanatory intention and the comprehensive one. The importance of the landscape in the modern geography has been stated also in rhetorical terms, in the conformation of discourses able to expressing properly the landscape's experience.
