ROJAS, Braulio. The Difficult American Otherness: the Dispute for the Images and the Conflict over Names. Cuyo [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.1, pp.47-84. ISSN 1853-3175.
Since Europe found a new continent and called it "America", a history of disagreements and conflicts has unraveled. By appealing to the reception of the myth in Western Civilization, this article searches for the influences that it may have in the formation of images of identity created about America. Attention is paid to the topic of images that proliferate and the disputes surrounding the mode of naming these territories, as a privileged locus from where to trace the implicit conflicts of what we are.
