Abstract
This article reflects on the relationship between geopoetics and nature in the proliferation of enumeration resource by a clearly transmedial link between literature and cinema. The notions of autopoiesis and metaliterature, and their connection by means of a ‘vegetable’ operation such as the one presented through mereology, are the basis for this study. Moreover, through a poetic recursion in borgesian key, this article analyses how the director of the film manages to endow a fourteen-hour-long compendium with a sort of individuality which does not allow for canonical definitions of the term ‘individual’. Each one of the individualities which, for their part, are organically linked to the others in a mereological key, are determined by the use of a characteristic resource of borgesian literature: enumerations. This article focuses particularly on this link. In this way, it is possible to demonstrate a configuration of the imaginary representations of Patagonia in which ecosystems become representative of a reality which transcends geography.
