Synopsis "La conquista de América. el problema del otro (in Spanish)"

“El capitán Alonso López de Ávila prendió una moza india y bien dispuesta y gentil mujer, andando en la guerra de Bacalar. Ésta
prometió a su marido, temiendo que en la guerra no lo matasen, no conocer otro hombre sino él, y así no bastó persuasión
con ella para que no se quitase la vida por no quedar en peligro de ser ensuciada por otro varón, por lo cual la hicieron aperrear.”
Diego de Landa, Relación de las cosas de Yucatán, 32. Escribo este libro con el fin de que no caiga en el olvido este relato, ni otros miles más del mismo tenor. A la pregunta acerca de cómo comportarse frente al otro no encuentro más manera de responder que contando una historia ejemplar: la del descubrimiento y conquista de América. Al mismo tiempo, esta investigación ética es una reflexión sobre los signos, la interpretación y la comunicación: pues la semiótica no puede pensarse fuera de la relación con el otro.

Tzvetan Todorov (Sofia, 1939 – Paris, 2017) was a Bulgarian-born French linguist, philosopher, historian of ideas, and literary theorist. Professor at the CNRS in Paris and visiting scholar at Yale, Harvard, and Columbia, he began his work in literary theory with Theory of Literature of the Russian Formalists (1965) and Literature and Signification (1967), pioneering texts in semiotics and narratology. From the 80s, he shifted towards historical and ethical essays, reflecting on the Enlightenment and totalitarianisms.

Among his most influential titles are The Conquest of America: The Question of the Other (1982), Facing the Limit (1991; Facing the Extreme), and The Abuses of Memory (1995). His exploration of evil and memory in the 20th century is summarized in Memory of Evil, Temptation of Good (2000) and The Totalitarian Experience (2010). These works, of an essayistic and historiographic genre, did not receive specific literary awards, but Todorov was honored with the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences in 2008 and received distinctions such as the Medal of the Order of Arts and Letters in France.
