El presente artículo se propone revaluar esta dinámica, con énfasis particular en las complejas configuraciones epistémicas que conformaron la labor orientalista británica a partir del siglo XVIII y su nexo con el romanticismo. A través de una revisión de algunos autores británicos, se pretende reexaminar las percepciones, las recepciones y las utilizaciones del conocimiento sobre India en el imaginario romántico, para después discutir las implicaciones civilizatorias del proyecto imperial. Así, se pretende identificar las diferentes maneras de acercarse a India por parte de los autores británicos -en torno al periodo romántico e inmediatamente después-, quienes de ninguna manera compartieron un mismo prejuicio.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Since the seminal work of both Raymond Schwab and Edward Said, several scholars have noted the important relationship that took place between Orientalism and Imperialism. This paper seeks to redress these dynamics by especially focusing on the complex, epistemic shapings that framed the British orientalist project since the 18th century and its interplay with English Romanticism. By revisiting the literary work of some British authors, the aim is to reexamine the various perceptions, receptions, and adaptations of Indian lore in the Romantic imagery; finally, I will briefly discuss some of the civilizational implications of the imperialist project. Thus, the article will identify the different approaches toward India by British authors (around and in the aftermath of English Romanticism), showing that they were far from sharing a common prejudice.]]></p></abstract>
