SOLORZANO, Augusto. Social Space Conformation for the Sake of the Picturesque. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.1, pp.11-32. ISSN 0123-3769.
In the propaedeutic of preferences which Joseph Addison constructed upon the concepts of the picturesque, curiosity, surprise, the interesting and the pleasant, it is possible to identify a specific spatial consciousness. This consciousness, which emerges from the senses, restored the ethic and aesthetic mechanisms which characterized social living in the eighteenth century. Based within the imagination and its pleasures, this very consciousness created a space which allowed and nurtured a discussion based in turn on mutual sympathetic aspects of daily life. As result, and fitting with Addison, subjectivity together with the emotions are the pillars upon which everyday life is built. In conclusion, the article argues for the existence of an emotional geography. This geography has its philosophical antecedents anchored in the imagination which encompasses everything from memories and the sensual experience of walking through a landscape and the banality of finding pleasure in simple objects.
