Abstract

Nuestro modesto propósito en este trabajo sera el de analizar la representación de lo subalterno en Facundo y Heart of Darkness, y a su vez entroncar y ver hasta qué punto estas representaciones pueden ser vistas y explicadas desde la perspectiva del Orientalismo tal como es propuesto por el crítico y teórico literario F.clward Said. Es eminentemente necesario entonces, definir que es el Orientalismo según Said. Esta tarea, a primera impresión sencilla, no lo es tanto ya que para el mismo autor hablar de Orientalismo es hacerlo sobre "several things, all of them, in my opinión [Said's], interdependent" (2). Usando una estrategia vieja pero muy inteligente y efectiva, Said esboza una '(entre muchas) definición de Orientalismo partiendo de los fragmentos que lo componen pero no alcanzan a cubrirlo por completo.
