Authors

More about the book

El libro analiza la época colonial en su diversidad social, contextualize el momento histórico en el que surgió y la conceptualiza en términos de sus variables epistemológicas. La diferencia colonial que aparece entre ellos creó sujetos racializados. Figuras como la del buen salvaje son extraordinariamente duraderas y, a pesar de que los contextos temporales y espaciales cambian constantemente, pueden ser activadas hasta la actualidad. Las preguntas que las autoridades coloniales exploraron como parte de la imaginación de la sociedad comienzan por indagar quiénes eran los “indios” y cómo, finalmente, podían ser integrados. Desde perspectivas multidisciplinarias, las contribuciones presentan estudios de caso para una nueva comprensión de la época colonial, también con vistas al presente. The book analyses the colonial era in its social diversity, contextualises the historical moment in which it emerged and conceptualises it in terms of its epistemological variables. The colonial difference that appears between them created racialised subjects. Figures such as the good savage are extraordinarily durable and, despite constantly changing temporal and spatial contexts, can be activated to the present day. The questions that colonial authorities explored as part of the imagination of society begin by asking who the “Indians” were and how they could ultimately be integrated. From multidisciplinary perspectives, the contributions present case studies for a new understanding of the colonial era, also with a view to the present.
