Summary: | The space is considered as a significant element per se. It can give us light about ethos, insomuch as the human existence expresses itself spatially. Our purpose is to describe the characteristics that space has in the poetry of Fabio Morábito in order to show how the lived space exhibit ways of life, shortly, a certain ethos. The analysis of the text follows some tensive semiotics principles. It is found that, in Fabio Morábito’s poetry there is a predilection for open spaces. The figures of virgin terrain or waste lot mean values such as distention, the inchoative, the inconclusive, the open identity. In synthesis, the openness expresses a certain way of living associated with the uprootedness. It is concluded that the amplitude and the openness, favor the intelligible, thus the subject has a greater judgment capacity.
