    "In African Impressions in British Literature, Rebecca Mitsein considers the ways that African self-representation continued to drive European impressions of the continent across the early Enlightenment, fueling desires to find the sources of West Africa's gold and the city states along the Niger, to establish a relationship with the Christian Kingdom of Prester John, and to discover the source of the Nile. Through an analysis of a range of genres, including travel narratives, geography books, maps, verse, and fiction, Rebekah Mitsein shows how African strategies of self-representation and European strategies for representing Africa grew increasingly entangled as the ideas that Africans projected about themselves and their worlds migrated from contact zones to texts and back again. The geographical narratives that arose from this reiterative cycle, which unfolded over hundreds of years, were often highly imaginary and appropriated to expansionist ends but remained tethered to the African worlds and worldviews that shaped them"--

    El estudio se dedica a representaciones historiográficas, literarias y fílmicas del Descubrimiento y de la Conquista de América. A través de apropiaciones variadas de los mismos acontecimientos históricos, los respectivos representantes artísticos se vinculan intertextual o intermedialmente. Las imágenes de ficción crean una realidad, de ahí el título La Conquista imaginaria, que alude a la concepción de la nación como imagined community de Benedict Anderson (1983). Las narraciones ficcionales crean a la vez historia, puesto que influyen en el imaginario colectivo y operan como un dispositivo ideológico y memorístico. El objetivo es desenredar estas relaciones transtextuales y reconstruir las visiones singulares de la Conquista y su función.

"In African Impressions in British Literature, Rebecca Mitsein considers the ways that African self-representation continued to drive European impressions of the continent across the early Enlightenment, fueling desires to find the sources of West Africa's gold and the city states along the Niger, to establish a relationship with the Christian Kingdom of Prester John, and to discover the source of the Nile. Through an analysis of a range of genres, including travel narratives, geography books, maps, verse, and fiction, Rebekah Mitsein shows how African strategies of self-representation and European strategies for representing Africa grew increasingly entangled as the ideas that Africans projected about themselves and their worlds migrated from contact zones to texts and back again. The geographical narratives that arose from this reiterative cycle, which unfolded over hundreds of years, were often highly imaginary and appropriated to expansionist ends but remained tethered to the African worlds and worldviews that shaped them"--

    Contenido: Apropiación artística del pasado -- Enfoque metahistoriográfico -- Textualidad, factualidad, ficcionalidad -- Diario de a bordo de Colón -- Crónicas de Hans Staden, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca y Francisco Vázquez -- Hipertextos ficcionales literarios / (nuevas) novelas históricas latinoamericanas y películas. El estudio se dedica a representaciones historiográficas, literarias y fílmicas del Descubrimiento y de la Conquista de América. A través de apropiaciones variadas de los mismos acontecimientos históricos, los respectivos representantes artísticos se vinculan intertextual o intermedialmente. Las imágenes de ficción crean una realidad, de ahí el título La Conquista imaginaria, que alude a la concepción de la nación como imagined community de Benedict Anderson (1983). Las narraciones ficcionales crean a la vez historia, puesto que influyen en el imaginario colectivo y operan como un dispositivo ideológico y memorístico. El objetivo es desenredar estas relaciones transtextuales y reconstruir las visiones singulares de la Conquista y su función
