Resumen

SEBASTIANI, Silvia. Clavijero and Robertson within the Context of European Enlightenment. Hist. graf [online]. 2011, n.37, pp.203-236. ISSN 1405-0927.

This article investigates how the dispute of the New World addressed both the construction of a European consciousness and the attempt to provincialize Europe. Moving from M. de Certeau's historical works, it focuses on the confrontation between the History of America by the Scottish Presbyterian leader W. Robertson and the Storia antica del Messico by the Mexican exiled Jesuit F.J. Clavijero, which yield two alternative and competing conceptions of history and mankind.

Palabras llave : Robertson; Clavijero; Certeau; history writings about the New World; Enlightenment.
