NARRATIVE ECUMENES: THE SIGNS OF LANGUAGE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF BEING

Abstract

The text explores the relationship between language and space, delving into both universal and individual dimensions of human existence. It emphasizes that words have a scale that extends to the infinite world and the core of being, serving as the means through which the world is reflected. In the contemporary context, the reflection on geographical science approaches the intersection between the human and the world. Language occupies a central place in life, and "ecumene" is the act of inhabiting the world through language, bridging the gap between the human and the world. Words have the power to evoke, and writing is considered a profound and deliberate dimension of language capable of creating meaning, reverie, distortion, tradition, and rupture. The text influences the reader's perception, shaping and reshaping captured images, guiding them through the labyrinths of mirrors and thoughts. Language is essential in human experience, from acquiring speech to the formation of sciences and arts. Narrators, including geographers, use language to make sense of the world, turning experiences into narratives. The interest in reconsidering writing in geographical science aims to revive creativity and narrative flexibility, emphasizing observation, sensitivity, and synthesis as perspectives for contemporary geography.
