Hidden Trace. Postmodern appropriation of the Hispanic baroque History
Abstract
At the beginning of the essays that Alejandro Rossi gathered in his Manual del distraído (Manual of the Distracted), it is stated, with regard to Borges (the most “baroque” of all Ibero-American writers): “To write about his work is to resign oneself to being the echo of some Scandinavian commentator or that of an American professor, tenacious, scholar, enthusiast...”. I firmly believe that a peculiarity of the Hispanic Baroque has been to be taken away, along with the material production that characterizes an empire, the very conception of what was its own system. I will carry out a “case study”: the one that results today from the already solved Contest for the Salón de Reinos (Kingdoms Hall), location where the program for the conceptualization for the Spanish Monarchy was substantiated.
