by Araceli Tinajero (Author)

Orientalismo en el modernismo hispanoamericano, de Araceli Tinajero, es un novedoso estudio que analiza el modernismo en Latinoam rica desde una perspectiva fresca y original. Lo que hace a este texto nico es su enfoque en las representaciones de las im genes, los artefactos culturales y el pensamiento oriental (principalmente japon s) en la escritura modernista. La autora habla japon s y conoce la cultura del Jap n. Con su conocimiento nos acerca a los escritores modernistas que eran cronistas o corresponsales y lograron llegar al Lejano Oriente donde inventaron/construyeron una forma de exotismo que deriva pero difiere del Orientalismo que propone Edward Said. En Asia esos escritores descubrieron que hab a un acercamiento cultural muy sutil (no europeo) entre Latinoam rica y el Oriente. El resultado de ese encuentro es nico porque presenta un paradigma diferente, un Orientalismo que se aleja de una mirada europea.

Bas ndose en la etnograf a, los estudios poscoloniales, la teor a literaria, la historia del arte y la teor a de los relatos de viaje, Tinajero analiza diversos textos modernistas y demuestra c mo la escritura "perif rica" del modernismo escrita desde la modernidad occidental no es realmente marginal. El an lisis de los artefactos culturales en los textos modernistas nos permite conocer el modernismo m s a fondo y a comprender el encuentro cultural entre Oriente y Occidente. Ese fen meno sobre todo ofrece la alternativa de una visi n del Oriente desde una perspectiva enf ticamente hispanoamericana.

El Orientalismo que propone Tinajero bas ndose en el estudio del modernismo hispanoamericano es innovador y representa una invaluable contribuci n a los estudios cr ticos 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.
