Abstract
The presence of a generalized idea about our global ecological crisis, has generated, a series of critical, creative and empathic reflections in the field of humanities for the actions of ecological denunciation, sustainability and preservation of the environment. Given this, we consider that the recent work of Raúl Zurita (Santiago, 1950), presents a series of features that can be related to the representations of nature and the environment as ecological dimensions. Based on a series of previous theoretical-critical approaches, we intend to show the development of an aesthetic imagination of relationship and criticism between human beings and nature, and then read the poetic expressiveness of Raúl Zurita as a critical reflection on nature and language, related to the conceptual proposal of a new urban environmental episteme (Heffes), focused on the imaginary of ecological denunciation, sustainability and preservation.
