Abstract

En este trabajo se busca indagar en las relaciones entre la construcción simbólica de América y la tradición del pensamiento utópico. Se parte de la conjetura de que hay un doble movimiento dialéctico entre las nociones de identidad y alteridad en la utopía, que pone en juego distintos modos de relación de los imaginarios sociales en torno a la identidad europea y americana. Europa se reinventa con sus utopías y América permanece indisociablemente ligada al nacimiento de la utopía como género literario al punto de que adopta la utopía y la resignifica con un sentido más práctico que literario. PALABRAS CLAVE: funciones utópicas, utopías literarias, utopías prácticas. The paper analyses the relationship between the symbolic construction of America and the tradition of utopian thinking. Its starting point is the assumption that there is a double dialectical movement between the notions of identity and otherness in the utopia, with different interconnections of the social imagination regarding the European and the American identity. Europe reinvents itself through its utopias and America remains inextricably related to the birth of utopia as a literary genre, adopting and re-signifying it more in a practical than in a literary sense. KEYWORDS: Utopian Functions, Literary Utopias, Practical Utopias
