An environment or context, whether physical or symbolic, is called scope.
The concept of scope has its origin in the Latin word ambitus and allows us to describe the contour or perimeter limit of a site, place , space or territory. The idea of scope, therefore, can be presented as one that refers to the area that is contained or included within certain limits .
For example: “The teacher told me that you can't listen to music so loudly in this area,” “The playing area is limited to those two rooms: the rest is for studying and working,” “This is the perfect area for rest.”
It should be noted that the field can also be an ideal space (whether symbolic or abstract), which arises from the questions and issues of one or more subjects that are linked to each other: “A similar problem should be treated in the field of education and not from the judicial point of view” , “I think your question can be answered from the field of psychiatry” , “Martín's proposal was misplaced in this field” .
The concept in programming and music
For computer programming , however, the scope describes the context of a certain expression or entity framed in a specific program. Thanks to scope, a variable can be defined with the same name in different parts of the same program .
The scope or ambitus in music , on the other hand, is that which allows us to identify the interval that occurs in a melody between the note that is highest and the one that sounds lowest. The notion, therefore, is associated with the technical language used when referring to an interpretation or melodic line.
The newspaper «Ámbito Financiero»
Ámbito Financiero is an economic-oriented newspaper that has been published in Argentina since 1976 and was created by the journalist and economist Julio Ramos . Regarding the editorial line, this newspaper represents the interests of the country's business sector. In its origins it expressed a clear criticism of political decisions; until Néstor Kirchner assumed the presidency of the country, at which point the profile of the publisher stopped being always critical, to alternate it with numerous praises.
Currently, unlike the rest of the newspapers that maintain a clear line, Ámbito Financiero is a space where you can find both acclaim and fierce criticism of the government's decisions.
The literary field is made up of everything linked to writers and books.
The literary environment
Everything that is related to the world of books is known as the literary field ; It includes publishers, authors and works, that is, everything that concerns the literature market .
Within this concept there is another related concept, which is environment , which is linked to the literary universe of each author, that is, their cultural background and experiences. It includes his place of birth, artistic influences, his childhood experiences, his ideas and connection with a cultural group, etc.
Although there are many authors within the same language, the environment of each one is different, especially if they belong to different space-times. For example, in America there are five different ways of speaking Spanish, that is, five limits: Central America and Mexico, Countries of the Caribbean Sea, the Andean zone, the Rio de la Plata region and Chile. And, although in all these places the language is the same, the identity of the authors differs according to the region from which they come, and similarities can be found in the work of two writers who come from the same country .
