description | The publication of novels about German history by Mexican authors offer an opportunity to reflect on the political and cultural relations between Europe and Latin American, particularly, these texts can be interpreted as the site of struggles for cultural capital and authority based on knowledge. This essay traces specific historical lines of Mexican narratives that focuses on German history and culture, and resorts to the concept of imperial eye to frames those lines and the power relations of image and knowledge creation. Novels written by Mexican authors that focus on German history and culture open a field to reflect on the capacity of literature to reconstruct European history from a Latin American locus of enunciation and to interrogate the power of the imperial eye as a Eurocentric mode of image making. |
