«Un espace liquide»: imaginarios de la primera modernidad en Canarias y el Caribe
Keywords:
imaginaries, atlantic studiesAbstract
The deployment of Atlantic imaginaries in the Late Middle Ages offers a compelling critical challenge to the emerging field of «Atlantic studies». Critical analyses of written and visual texts from this period require the self-conscious adoption of a de-centered, proleptic viewpoint, inspired by current theoretical debates. This essay traces a discontinuous itinerary of twentieth-century critical medievalism, and it engages Fernand Braudel’s notion of longue durée, and Michel Foucault’s concept of genealogy. Ultimately, the essay seeks to complicate Eurocentric discourses on the «origin» of the Canary Islands and the archipelagos of the Caribbean featured in early European imaginings of the New World.
