This article interprets the relations between space and memory in the novel El sistema del tacto (2018) by Alejandra Costamagna based on the configuration of an affective geography of the Southern Cone, an imaginary of the Argentine province and a family archive of migration. The emergence of a territorial imaginary that includes the andean crossing, the journey through the pampa and the provincial city of Campana project different forms of social life transformed in time. These imaginaries are elaborated both from a childhood figure that displays a particular perception of the natural landscape and from a subjectivity that in the present narrative returns to verify the expiration of the ways of living and inhabiting the 20th century. The novel integrates spatial, material and linguistic aspects in the conformation of different experiences, images and perceptions of the environment.
