Entre imperios: antiimperialismo e hispanoamericanismo en España contemporánea de Rubén Darío

This paper examines Rubén Darío’s España contemporánea. Crónicas y retratos literarios (1901) in order to problematize the author’s perspective and position of enunciation. In the first part, we address the ways in which Darío’s chronicles represent imperialism. In the second part, we argue that Darío displays an anti-imperialist and Hispano-Americanist perspective, distancing himself from colonial and Eurocentric thought, as well as relocatingand differentially reevaluating Hispanic American culture in comparison to the United States and Europe.
