The Writing of the American Territory
One of the topics that has most attracted the attention of Americanist critics has been the European in the imagination of America as a chimerical continent that brought together much of the hopes and fears of the Old World, as well as its projects of colonial domination. Such is the influence of this current of thought that there is hardly any study of importance, from Todorov’s classic to recent imagological works, that does not collect it and that does not examine how the Europeans invented America or (perhaps here is the most important development of the later years) how Americans adopted and modified this invention to further their own interests. This volume, The Writing of the American Territory, examines this series of European chimeras in their interaction with the American reality and throughout various literary genres (the relationship of travel or merit, chronicle, choreography, comic theater, philosophy , etc.) and artistic (mural painting).
