GUEVARA, MONTAIGNE Y SHAKESPEARE: TRES MIRADAS RENACENTISTAS SOBRE EL NUEVO MUNDO PAREDES, Rogelio C. Nuevo Mundo Renacimiento bárbaro literatura The purpose of this article is to analyze, through literary sources, the ways in which Europe regarded the New World in critical moments and contexts of the Spanish, French and English Renaissance. By means of studying literary works such as Frey Antonio Guevara’s (1480-1545) Libro aúreo del Emperador Marco Aurelio, Michel de Montaigne’s Essay on Cannibals and William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, the objective is to place the interpretation of American societies within the broader scope of expectations and interests of their authors and in connection with their own social and cultural experiences, understanding them as part of a broader process of transformations caused by Renaissance culture and its revalorization of Antiquity. Starting from the study of the generic definition of “barbarian”, inherited from Antiquity and applied to native Americans, the intention is to analyze the role this notion played in the interpretations of these authors and in the concrete situations in which the term was used to reflect the social and political conditions of Europe and thus judge the profound changes of the period: the legitimacy of the overseas empires, the rights to war and peace and the superiority of “civilization” compared to the idea of primitive equality. El propósito de este artículo consiste en analizar, a partir de la literatura, la perspectiva europea sobre las sociedades del Nuevo Mundo, en momentos y contextos críticos del Renacimiento español, francés e inglés. Sobre la base del Libro áureo del Emperador Marco Aurelio de Fray Antonio de Guevara (1480-1545), del Ensayo sobre los caníbales de Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) y de La Tempestad de William Shakespeare (1564-1616), se procura situar la interpretación de las sociedades americanas dentro de las expectativas y los intereses de los autores y en relación con sus propias experiencias sociales y culturales, en el amplio proceso de transformaciones suscitadas por la cultura renacentista y su revaloración del pasado clásico. A partir de la genérica definición de bárbaro, heredada de la Antigüedad y aplicada a los nativos americanos, el objetivo es analizar el papel que juega en las interpretaciones de estos autores y las situaciones concretas en que se la emplea para reflexionar sobre las condiciones del mundo social y político europeo y abrir juicio sobre los profundos cambios del período: la legitimidad de los imperios ultramarinos, los derechos de la guerra y la paz y la superioridad de la “civilización” respecto del ideal de igualdad primitiva.
