Cronotopías: Mediación de Espacios Identitarios a Comienzos del Siglo XX En Puerto Rico

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This text explores the extent to which this group of selected authors articulates a discourse of mediation in relation to the new North American colonial regime established in 1898, while at the same time it produces different and conflicting variations of a discourse on identity and representation which has the reconfiguration of territory at its forefront. Its starting point is the paradigm shift caused by the relocation of colonial power from Spain to the United States at the end of the 19th century. Modernity, in our American society, adopts a unique shape: it establishes new demarcations; additionally it is an expression of the struggle to produce locality and, at the same time, its place within the planetary system; it is the opening and closing of spaces. The proposed analysis is based on a geopoetic approach to national writings of the beginning of the 20th century in Puerto Rico that seeks to establish the interpretations (the mediation) of advocates in the face of migrations, settlements and the homogenization of Puerto Rican cartography, as well as its inhabitants, under North American occupation.
