El artículo diferencia la producción de un repertorio iconográfico singular sobre América de su uso etno-iconográfico en los libros de trajes producidos en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI. Examina, en primer lugar, la forma en que la experiencia americana fue “traducida” en textos e imágenes inteligibles al lector europeo. Seguidamente, pone el foco en la segunda de las operaciones intelectuales mencionadas, pues analiza la presencia de imágenes sobre el Nuevo Mundo en nuevas cadenas de referencialidad y sentido. La incorporación de la iconografía americana en los libros de trajes revela sus potencialidades y limitaciones como dispositivos visuales y globales del saber temprano-moderno.

Then, it focuses on the second of the intellectual operations mentioned, as it analyzes the presence of images of New World in new chains of reference and meaning.
