Sumario:Certain Chilean literary practices are examined, which present profound visions of human subjects and of nature. The inquiry focuses on both the subjects’ relations with their environment, and the presence of an active ecological awareness, as well as the literary concretion of an imagery linked to that relational awareness: the concretion of experiences of a profound integration of the human being with the cosmos. Environmental referents and the articulation of natural elements as expression of textual subjects are approached within the frame of globalization processes and the defense of regional cultural values.
