| Summary: | The article seeks to understand how the concept of place projected by the Europeans in America became a real utopia for its new inhabitants. Place in America has undergone an anamorphosis that transforms spatiotemporal reality into a postmodern simulation. First of all, the article defines the process of place anamorphosis from a theoretical perspective. Secondly, it enquires into the process of transformation of an increasingly fictional reality into a realized fiction. Lastly, the article discusses how the spatiotemporal dissociation of space has been considered a new form of identity in America, understood as postcolonial and postmodern form of liberation. |
