Orientalismo En El Modernismo Hispanoamericano (Spanish, Paperback)

Orientalismo en el modernismohispanoamericano, de Araceli Tinajero,es un novedoso estudio que analiza el modernismo en Latinoamerica desde unaperspectiva fresca y original. Lo que hace a este texto unico es su enfoque enlas representaciones de las imagenes, los artefactos culturales y el pensamientooriental (principalmente japones) en la escritura modernista. La autora hablajapones y conoce la cultura del Japon. Con su conocimiento nos acerca a losescritores modernistas que eran cronistas o corresponsales y lograron llegar alLejano Oriente donde inventaron/construyeron una forma de exotismo que derivapero difiere del Orientalismo que propone Edward Said. En Asia esos escritoresdescubrieron que habia un acercamiento cultural muy sutil (no europeo) entreLatinoamerica y el Oriente. El resultado de ese encuentro es unico porquepresenta un paradigma diferente, un Orientalismo que se aleja de una miradaeuropea. Basandoseen la etnografia, los estudios poscoloniales, la teoria literaria, la historiadel arte y la teoria de los relatos de viaje, Tinajero analiza diversos textosmodernistas y demuestra como la escritura "periferica" del modernismo escritadesde la modernidad occidental no es realmente marginal. El analisis de losartefactos culturales en los textos modernistas nos permite conocer el modernismomas a fondo y a comprender el encuentro cultural entre Oriente y Occidente. Esefenomeno sobre todo ofrece la alternativa de una vision del Oriente desde unaperspectiva enfaticamente hispanoamericana. ElOrientalismo que propone Tinajero basandose en el estudio del modernismohispanoamericano es innovador y representa una invaluable contribucion a losestudios criticos del modernismo latinoamericano. Araceli Tinajero's Orientalismo en el modernismo hispanoamericano falls within the present revisionist trend with respect to Spanish American modernism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The text's uniqueness stems from its focus on allusions to images, artifacts, and thought from the East - primarily Japan - found in central and peripheral writings within the Spanish American movement. The author knows the Japanese language and culture and brings her knowledge to bear in her discussion of modernist writers who, chiefly as chroniclers and correspondents, made their way to the East and there invented/constructed a form of exoticism (Orientalism, following but diverging from Edward Said), while discovering affinities between non-European tendencies within their own American environment and Eastern culture. The result of this encounter was a unique, non-European Orientalism. Drawing on ethnography, postcolonial studies, literary theory, art history, and travel theory, Tinajero analyzes a selection of modernist texts to show how writing at the margin of Western modernism-modernity is at once within and without the mainstream. The examination of Oriental cultural artifacts in modernista texts contributes to our understanding of modernism, of the East-West encounter, and of the culturally specific configurations of these phenomena in South America. Tinajero's concept of Orientalism focused on Spanish American modernism is a fresh approach and represents a valuable contribution to Spanish American modernist scholarship.
