Abstract

This article aims to review in the novel Sueldo vital (1964) of Carlos Leon the configuration of the local imaginary constructed from a present that experiments Valparaiso as reduced provincial city, through the stroll of the protagonist by different scenes of the one that previously was the principal port of the South Pacific. Gathering the reflections of Slawinski on the space in the literature, the ideas of Lefebvre on production of space and the proposal of Michel Foucault on heterotopías, it is tried to establish of what ways the represented spaces and the spaces of representation are articulated in imagined and real Valparaiso. The literary configuration of this imaginary group concentrates, finally, in three specific routes, undertaken by the protagonist.
