| Synopsis: |
This work examines various readings of Fray Ramon Pane's "Relacion acerca de las antiguedades de los indios" (c. 1498), a pioneering work in ethnography portraying the initial European perceptions of the native inhabitants of the New World. This work should appeal to scholars interested in the study of ethnography, postcolonialism, translation theory, literary theory and discourse analysis. This critical study examines various readings of Ramon Pane's "Relacion acerca de las antiguedades de los indios" (c. 1498), telling the story of the multiple layered readings of the 1974 version of the text put together by Jose Juan Arrom. The original, written by Fray Ramon Pane, a young brother from the Convent of Saint Jerome de la Murta in Badalona, Spain who sailed with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World, offers a glimpse into the earliest moments of Europe's encounter with the New World.The centuries of reading to which this work has been subjected have shaped its interpretation and translation as individuals from different times, places, and cultures have tried to associate with those things described in the text while also reflecting on themselves, producing an autoethnography. |
