Resumen
CROCE, Marcela. Transculturation: from Utopia to the Latin American Narrative. Successive Versions of a Forefather, an Inaugurator and an Encoder. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.1, pp.99-120. ISSN 0123-5931. https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v18n1.54681.
The purpose of this article is to examine the forefathers and recorded intuitions of the concept of transculturation before its definitive enunciation in Latin American theory in the work of Ángel Rama. Among those who previewed the idea but did not specifically define it or only limited its scope to a specific period of local history were Pedro Henríquez Ureña and Mariano Picón Salas. The essays of Henríquez Ureña and Las corrientes literarias en la América hispánica register approaches to this category, whereas Picón Salas directly recovers it from the anthropologist Fernando Ortiz. As a complement of the attribution of the development of the concept, by Rama himself, to his contact with Darcy Ribeiro, this work registers the impact that the reading of his predecessors produced the one who would be exclusively associated from then on with the term transculturation, unfolding its ontology and its productivity.
