Abstract

This trilingual edition with a thematic focus brings together works by academics who address, from different disciplinary perspectives, the separation of Latin American cultural history into two blocs following the signing—mediated by the Roman Catholic Church—of the Treaty of Tordesillas on June 7, 1494. This event sparked hegemonic and expansionist tensions that marked a crucial moment in the competitive negotiations between the two emerging European powers: Portugal and Spain. It also provided the discursive context for the representation of the world as a globe to become not only possible but considered crucial, even though the territories that would be encompassed by that demarcation were far from having a defined geographical shape.
