We will discuss some nuances of the concept of place in literary studies and poetic analysis, understood as a derivation of the geographical concept of space, or, at least, closely interrelated. We will approach such presence as an input for poetic analysis. We maintain that there is a duality of place as that which refers and also that which is referred to; that is to say, we propose that this founding category of geography can be understood as a space of enunciation, or as a hiding place from which the confrontation of the subject with the world is gestated, and also as the described or felt object, both as a contingent substratum or as the continent of reverie or the visible of utopia or hope. From this perspective, we will begin by detailing some aspects of the theory and conception of place in human geography. Secondly, we will review the possible applications of the epistemology of geography to the analysis of Latin American poetry, an exercise on which it was not possible to find references or antecedents. The theoretical contributions of the geographical discipline to geopoetry and geocriticism will be analyzed to highlight the contribution of this science to narratology and literary and poetic analysis.
