Abstract
In this article, we start from the perspective that mind and matter are inseparable planes to defend the hypothesis that, in any spatial evaluation, the absent space is part of the present space. The presence of absent space manifests itself both in the realm of the displacement of heterotopic materialities and in the realm of human experience. It allows us to carry with us values and impressions about the landscapes and places we once experienced. Thus, we propose the idea that the presence of absence is a paradox verified in geographical analysis. Through an epistemological approach, we demonstrate that our perception is always biased by experiences located in space-time, which provide changes in the tastes and preferences that we develop about space. The reflection of this article allows us to consider the flexibilization of our ethnocentric manifestations as we defend the fact that each of us is bearers of a worldly exceptionality.
