| Sumario: | The search for the essence of the beach put me in the phenomenological research movement through the references of Humanist Geography. What is the beach? The beach composition that I elaborate therefore constitutes a poetic translation of the experiences of my moving body in humanistic geographic research - an attempt to answer the central question. Although the sea beach landscape may appear highlighted, it is not the only way of this presentification, which is done in the dry urban interior and in the corners of the rivers before the sea. This article elaborates the arrival at sea and reflects the experiences of this body-world interaction that also makes the beach. What the body feels echoes in the landscape or the body feels what the landscape vibrates. Two ways of saying the same thing right away, for the connection between body and world is a two-way street. From the sand, we glimpse its cadences. We feel its ripple. We transpose here in letter-word-phrase-paragraph-text absorptions of this visceral body-sea interaction that happens on the beach. The beach here is the mouth of a hungry sea. The body is sensitive flesh and world consciousness, alive in the present of this interaction. Eclipsed in visceral entrances that overflow sublime landscape: sea. The sublime that, far from being linked to a delusion, explodes in the wear and tear of the skin and eyes of those who live beach and sea, sun by sun, in a daily interaction; in the knowledge of these very peoples who struggle to remain today in their ancestral places. I report here one of its overflowing eclipses. |
