ANGULO PARTIDA, Juan Pablo. Representations of the riverside landscape of Colima at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century through the letters of the Professor Gregorio Torres Quintero. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2022, vol.17, n.33, e0001997.  Epub May 05, 2023. ISSN 2007-8110.

The study of the social representations of specific landscapes could be approached methodologically from literary works that show geographical aspects of a given region. In this case, through the content analysis, the literary work of Gregorio Torres Quintero was explored, in order to know the representations that this author from western Mexico had about the riverside landscape of the city where he was born. Torres Quintero showed himself as an interlocutor of the people, speaking about the myths, conflicts and beliefs that the Colimans had. In this way, some aspects were identified, in which the river had relevance, ranging from appropriation, resource use, aesthetics, tropicalness, social interaction and hazards. From the representations of this intellectual, it could be infer the role that rivers had on the social dynamics of the city of Colima.

Keywords : social representations; tales; riverside landscape; tropicalness.
