GONZALEZ CARRACEDO, Laura Sabina. Fortifications, Ports, and Tourists. Coloniality on Island Shores in the Chronicles of the Conquest of Canary Islands. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2022, n.44, pp.109-133. Epub 21-Mar-2022. ISSN 1794-2489. https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n44.05.
Island shore enclaves are both spaces of interaction and identity and economic conflict. They were so at the time of the Conquest and they are so at today post-colonial tourist time. Specifically, defensive and port buildings persisting in a set of coastal areas in Canary Islands allow us to reflect upon how coloniality crosses both memory and the concept of monumentality. In order to argue the importance of these spaces in the European discourse justifying colonization, we put forward an analysis of the Canary Islands conquest chronicles. Additionally, we perform a theoretical exercise comparing this with the present-time reality of exploitation and mythification of so-called neocolonial settings.
