Resumen
El termino «lugar»; se viene utilizando de varias maneras en el uso cotidiano y ultimamente están apareciendo algunas apreciaciones conceptuales que pueden confundir a algunos geografos. Ya hay opiniones antropologicas que hacen referencia a los ≪no lugares≫ es decir eventos que se encuentran en el espacio pero que no despiertan ningun apego o sentimientos de identidad, como son los modernos centros comerciales, supercarreteras, aeropuertos, etcetera.El argumento de este articulo es que a pesar de que esos eventos puedan pasar sin interés para los visitantes, son cuerpos reales y permanentes que ocupan espacios geograficos, es decir ocupan un lugar. Por lo tanto despiertan sentimientos de identidad para la gente que vive cerca de ellos y son motivo de recuerdos cuando se comparan con otros lugares.
«Place» is a word that have many applications and meanings in the daily talking. This has given way to different conceptual interpretations that may confuse to some geographers, especially those too close to social sciences. There are already some anthropological opinions in the sense that in opposition to places that reflect some identity to their users, there are the «non-places»; that is sites where people may transit without any feeling of their existence. Such are the cases of modern shopping centers, express highways, airports, etc.The argument in this paper is that those sites are in some way stable in time and their permanence makes them part of a local landscape. In this sense, these artifacts become part of the landscape and are adopted by local people as part of their goods that develop some identity feelings alike the ones for places. This is shown when comparing with other places that have some similar spatial arrangements.
