Jorge Teillier y la topografía habitada como espiritualidad

Abstract

This article aims to highlight several perspectives on the role of topography in the poetry of Jorge Teillier, understood as a living space that can be interpreted as a setting where spirituality emerges. Since the childhood village represents the central point for understanding Teillier’s poetic imagination, it is important to explore how space opens a path for reflecting on spirituality and the search for meaning. The article is organized into five sections. First, it provides a brief review of the scholarly discussion, examining authors and approaches that have addressed space as a poetic language and as a fundamental element of poetic creation. It then offers an exploration of Teillier’s poetry to identify key thematic threads related to the function of space, or inhabited topography, as the source of his poetic voice. Finally, the article presents several reflections on the relationship between inhabited topography and spirituality, understood as a profound dimension of human existence that finds expression through the very act of speaking and poetic utterance.
