Abstract
Este artículo analiza la inversión del mapa del continente sudamericano presentada en el poema y libro Amereida entendiéndola como parte esencial de la búsqueda del colectivo que lo escribe: “hallar” el destino del continente americano. Amereida fue escrito e ilustrado colectivamente en 1965 por un grupo de poetas, escultores, arquitectos y filósofos para registrar su travesía (viaje y acto poético) a través de la Patagonia y la Pampa. Al invertir el mapa, Amereida coloca al Sur, como punto geográfico y como meta, al centro de la empresa poético-intelectual que tiene entre manos, subvirtiendo jerarquías y reescribiendo otros cruces anteriores del espacio pampeano. A través de esta representación espacial del poema, entonces, y no sin limitaciones, Amereida busca no sólo “hallar” sino también construir, cuestionar, interrogar esa identidad americana despegando la mirada de Europa.
[This article analyzes the inversion of the map of the South American continent presented in the poem and book Amereida, understanding it as an essential part of the collective quest to "find" the destiny of the American continent. Amereida was written and illustrated collectively in 1965 by a group of poets, sculptors, architects, and philosophers to record their journey (a journey and poetic act) through Patagonia and the Pampas. By inverting the map, Amereida places the South, as both a geographical point and a goal, at the center of the poetic-intellectual enterprise at hand, subverting hierarchies and rewriting other previous crossings of the Pampas. Through this spatial representation of the poem, then, and not without limitations, Amereida seeks not only to "find" but also to construct, question, and interrogate that American identity, detaching its gaze from Europe.]
