dc.description.abstract | "Representaciones temporales en la construcción del espacio y el sujeto atlántico en el siglo XVII" is a study of the different representations of time, temporality and space in literary and historical texts such as the chronicles that originated in Peru and Spain. This project seeks to understand the new configuration of time and space that appeared at this time and that was represented in literary texts during the Spanish Baroque period. What is most important is that the Atlantic is not only an ocean that separated two realities but also a new space that made possible the emergence of a new subject who combined pre- Hispanic culture and the occidental episteme. This new subject is the product of a translation failure of the concepts that were transported back and forth across the Atlantic. During the XVIIth century, many literary and historical texts are produced in order to understand this new subject. As an immediate consequence of the encounter between American and European epistemes, thinkers and writers in all Europe begin to hesitate between "the real" and "the images"; a crisis of the real begins. In the Americas, writers such as Guaman Poma or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz who produce narratives which seek to interpret the new realities brought about by the encounter with the Europeans, whose writings do not follow to either indigenous or European conventions. These writers mix pre-Hispanic and Western traditions to account for the new forms of subjectivity that the conquest produced. Similarly, Spanish writers such as Cervantes or Calderón re-work traditional European conventions in order to understand and interpret this new historical moment/subjectivity. | |
