| description | 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.

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. |
