Abstract
MUNOZ MORAN, Oscar. Salvajes, bárbaros y brutos: De la Grecia clásica al México contemporáneo. LiminaR [online]. 2008, vol.6, n.2, pp.155-167. ISSN 2007-8900.
"El Otro" and the wildness, since ancient times has been an obsession of different cultures. Its definition has ranged from descriptions of fantastic monsters and subhuman beings, to territories where they have been located. Deserts, rain forests, high mountains, or simply, the latest land known during the Middle Ages, were places of strange. With the example of Latin America and Mexico, the relationship between these "wild", "barbaric" or "brutos" and living space, recognized as far from one's own cultural conception, will be the centrepiece of these pages.
Keywords : Savage; Barbarian; territory; past; culture; purépechas; Mexico.
