Abstract

This article examines the tradition of the Andalusian landscape in Spanish literature, briefly addressing Góngora, Bécquer, and Machado before culminating in a central analysis of Juan Ramón Jiménez’s poetics. While in Góngora the landscape acquires ekphrastic density, in Bécquer it emerges as a sublime and dia-bolic space, and in Machado as historical memory and inner mourning, in Juan Ramón a decisive shift occurs: the landscape ceases to function as a representational frame and becomes a constitutive structure of the poetic subject. Drawing on emplacement theory and landscape studies in literature, this study demonstrates how the poet from Moguer internalizes Moguer to the point of transforming it into a universal perceptual filter. In works such as Diario de un poeta recién casado and, above all, Espacio, the landscape manifests itself as a dynamic, palimpsestic, and metaphysical process in which memory, exile, and consciousness intertwine. The sea and the color yellow function as symbolic axes that reveal a mode of perception in which the landscape is not described but embodied in poetic language.
