Even though numerous writers, explorers and historians have expressedtheir fascination for the concept of North, from Antiquity to the present day, it is not easy tofind a univocal definition that compiles the diverse boreal myths and their imaginary, evenless within a scientific discourse. Various attempts to define the North as a geographicalterritory, as an object of knowledge or as a set of images and representations, are frustratedby the impossibility of apprehending it. The objective of this article is to develop atheoretical framework to define the North through the concept of borealism, understandingit from the inherent dynamism of the writing processes inspired by the Circumpolar North(European, American and even Asian), which allows developing a critical approach to theimaginary of the North starting from an aesthetic approach that includes and goes beyondthe illusory reference of each individual perception
