ARCILA-YEPES, MARÍA ALEJANDRA. Essay and Image in Sociedades americanas in 1828: Reflective Speech Renewal and Visualization of Thought. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.28, pp.86-107.  Epub Jan 20, 2023. ISSN 2145-8987.  https://doi.org/10.25025/perifras¡s202314.28.05.

Despite theoretical and critical approaches to Simón Rodríguez Sociedades americanas in 1828, to dive into an analysis that values the expression of his ideas as a form of an essay, is necessary. How thought manifests itself through images/texts and how it combines intellectual and artistic work is important. These features suggest the conception of a visual essay which constitutes a predecessor of visual and concrete poetry, and a way of organizing thought. The aim is to use the form as a basis to think about the work and then turn to the theory of the essay to appreciate its characteristics.

Keywords : Simón Rodríguez; 19th century; Latin America; visual essay; visual poetry; short forms; aphorisms; mind maps.
