MEMORY, ORALITY AND REALISM FANTASTIC: The tomb of Leo Kopp in Bogotá Central Cemetery

Abstract

One of the most subtle present in the cultural panorama in times of globalization is about the impact of Latin America as polo authentic knowledge generator issues with its own contours. This statement refers to the prestige of the original arguments that characterize the local culture, Latin American, in the broad sense, because after all we ask: can one speak of a cultural mode Latin American? If so, the matter would have made? Would there be unity in the demonstrations expressed by culture coined by European standard? Along these lines, specific situations, such as the Colombian case, would have a direct relationship with neighboring cultural dynamics, wider? Thinking about the seed that fertilizes such questions - outlined in the past, since the Peruvian Jose Carlos Mariategui (1894-1930) - one comes to Leopoldo Zea (1912- 2004), Mexican thinker who moved decisively to established ideas about projection of the ancient European cities "created" in the colonies in Latin America.
