During early modern European expansion, America emerged as dynamic
meeting ground, continuously forging multidirectional global
encounters. Relating Continents dismisses the semantics of
‘encounter’ which, in the politics of naming, euphemistically
substitutes invasive violence, but invests in the notion’s
dimension as an enactment of literary, cultural, and social
relations, fusing people, goods, texts, artifacts, ideas, and
senses of belonging. Understanding the practice of relating as both
connecting and narrating, this anthology investigates the linking
of continents in Romance literary and cultural history, as well as
the tales of entanglement produced in the process. The contributors
revisit the worldwide impact of distant or in-person negotiations
between conquerors and local actors; they assess how colonial
interventions shift hemispheric native networks, and they examine
the ties between America, Africa, and Asia. By doing so, they prove
the global constitution of early modern Spanish and Portuguese
American literatures, their historical and cultural contexts, and
their long-lasting legacies.
