El verdadero descubridor de los Estados Unidos fue un individuo que se lanzó a la caminata más colosal que mente humana ha concebido. Lo hizo a pie, desnudo casi como un nativo americano, sin evangelios ni catecismos... Así fue como Alvar Núñez de Vaca atravesó lo desconocido, desde Florida a Texas para luego descender hasta Ciudad de México. Abel Posse cierra el círculo de su particular Trilogía del Descubrimiento con una obra que es mucho más que una autobiografía novelada ofrecida en una magistral serie de flashbacks; es una lectura honda y descarnada de la visión de la llegada de los europeos al Nuevo Mundo de un aventurero que llegó a ser nombrado Adelantado y gobernador del Río de la Plata para luego luchar contra la poligamia y la esclavitud de los indios en Paraguay. Núñez de Vaca acabó sus años arruinado, que no vencido, en Sevilla, donde Posse sitúa el origen de una narración de un viejo soñador que todavía quiere creer en el poder de la fe y la bondad. Un día atraca en Sevilla del siglo XV un barco cargado con esclavos americanos, entre los que encuentra a su hijo Amadís. Este suceso vuelve a conectarle con su pasado y desencadena un relato con un dramático y asombroso desenlace. El autor exhibe un soberbio dominio del tono intimista para alguien cuyo epitafio firmó el propio inca Garcilaso: "Murió en Valladolid, apelando al Consejo de Indias, con el propósito de ver restablecido su honor y sus bienes que le fueron confiscados cuando fue apresado en Asunción".

The present study examines the way that human time-consciousness is instantiated in narrative and the way it is manifested in the 1542 relacion of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. The chronicle was hermeneutically "appropriated" by Abel Posse in his novel El largo atardecer del caminante. Posse interprets the original chronicle through the lens of a provocative lacuna in the 1542 Zamora edition of the relacion. I analyze time-consciousness in the chronicle and novel providing a brief sketch of the investigation of time by Augustine, and time-consciousness by Husserl and Heidegger. Paul Ricoeur in Time and Narrative proposes that human internal time-consciousness occurs through the medium of narrative. Since the experience of time-consciousness is shaped through narrative, one perceives shifts of temporal awareness in the temporal and deictic markers of the chronicle of Cabeza de Vaca. The temporal shift the language reflects adumbrates a concomitant shift in the radicalization of consciousness on the part of the shipwrecked sixteenth-century conquistador. This shift in consciousness enabled him to identify more completely with the Amerindians with whom he lived for almost a seven-year period from 1528-1534. The temporal shift moves from a Judeo-Christian, historically oriented, time-consciousness, to a time-consciousness that is cyclical and of the hunter-gatherer as outlined by Mircea Eliade. The Argentine author Abel Posse plays upon the dialectic of memory and forgetfulness creating a post-modern, Heideggerian anti-hero. I examine the way that Ricoeur and Levinas see selfhood and identity as mediated through narrative. The notion of identity is examined through the phenomena of memory and forgetfulness as well as the question as to how memory and forgetfulness constitute the both the novelist's and the historian's "debt." Posse suggests alternative possibilities in the chronicle that open the horizon of experience of the reader to a new interpretation of the work vis a vis the reader's re-figuration of the chronicle through prism of "Mimesis 3."

"The fictionalized explorers and conquistadors represented in this corpus all identify with certain aspects of Amerindian culture - significantly, those elements that are most distinct from European culture, such as cannibalism and human sacrifice - but also feel the need to distance themselves from these "others" in order to protect their own European cultural identity. In most cases, the conquistadors themselves are represented as outsiders within the enterprise of imperialism, due to ethnic, religious, or sexual differences from the norm. This representation turns the gaze inward toward the "other" within European culture, underscoring the complex origins of Latin American cultures in the violent encounter between the Amerindians and the conquistadors." "By examining these issues, Lopez's Latin American Novels of the Conquest illuminates the ways in which Latin American novelists used their literary imaginations to embody their ambivalence regarding their own transcultural heritage as children of both the colonized and the colonizer."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The present thesis uses as its primary source of inspiration Argentine author Abel Posse’s El largo atardecer del caminante (1992), which boasts the historically-based, unconventional Spanish conquistador, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, as its main protagonist and narrator. I explore the juxtaposition of two opposing forms of metaphorical consumption in the novel. To highlight the first, I apply to the fictional Cabeza de Vaca the general concept of antropofagia cultural, or “cultural cannibalism,” as described by Brazilian writer Oswald de Andrade in his “Manifesto Antropófago” (1928). I specifically examine the symbolic development of Posse’s Cabeza de Vaca as the first latinoamericano via cultural anthropophagy. Over time, the life-altering experiences during the course of his wanderings in North and South America convert him into an antropófago cultural by virtue of his conscientious, metaphorical consumption of the Other. By extension, Cabeza de Vaca becomes a model for the first latinoamericano, wrought, not through miscegenation, but rather through cultural contact. The second kind of consumption, on the other extreme, is represented in the novel through sixteenth-century Spain and its quasi-literal, compulsive consumption and subsequent expulsion of the New World Other. This is seen through the optic of the fictional Cabeza de Vaca in his waning moments in Seville. Posse’s rendition of Spain, as seen through his historically-inspired narrator, is representative of the metaphorical indigestion caused by a thoughtless consumption of products, practices, lands, and even people from the New World. I put on display the manner in which sixteenth-century Spain is portrayed in the novel as suffering a figurative bloating, consuming so much, so fast, seemingly growing large and powerful until it is ultimately revealed as being sick and weak.

He demonstrates how these novelists use major and marginal figures to reflect upon the ways that institutional powers invoke episodes from the discovery and conquest to legitimate the present, and also to critique the recent historical past, especially in the case of Uruguay and Argentina, which endured military dictatorships in the 1970s and 1980s."--Jacket.

When civilizations first encounter each other a cascade of change is triggered that both challenges and reinforces the identities of all parties. Making Contact revisits key encounters between cultures in the medieval and early modern world. Contributors cross disciplinary boundaries to explore the implications of contact. Scott D. Westrem examines the imagined Africa depicted in the Bell Mappamundi. Day-to-day accommodations between the religious identities of Vilnius, in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, are explored by David Frick. Steven F. Kruger argues that medieval Christian identity was destabilized by the living Talmudic tradition. Individual Jesuits who were critical to the success of contact in Japan are evaluated by Nakai Ayako. Linda Woodbridge argues that Elizabethan attitudes towards aboriginals paralleled their attitudes towards English vagrants. Despite a nod to Arcadian conventions, travel narratives of Virginia were preoccupied with finding wealth, according to Paul W. DePasquale’s research. Rick H. Lee examines the conflicting loyalties of Pierre Raddisson in the New World. Richard A. Young demonstrates that the Florida shipwreck narratives of Cabeza de Vaca were groomed for intended audiences, past and present. This rich interdisciplinary collaboration contributes to the debate on boundaries between disciplines, as well as boundaries between the Middle Ages and the early modern period, and also between historical and theoretical perspectives. Making Contact draws our attention to the important ways in which historic encounters with contrasting ‘others’ have shaped the identities of both individual and corporate ‘selves’ over a span of five centuries.
