Resumen
SANJINES C, Javier. Narratives of identity: From the mestizo nation to the recent displacements in the social metaphor. Tinkazos [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.31, pp.37-54. ISSN 1990-7451.
This essay contends that the construction of the nation was linked to narratives (novels and essays) of identity. The first identity narratives, which created important metaphors such as that of ideal mestizaje, zealously controlled the social ascent of indigenous people. After discussing the regimentation of the Indian under Franz Tamayos stringent notion of national pedagogy, Sanjinés proceeds to deterritorialise idealised mestizo identity using three new concepts that give fluidity to the social metaphor: that of the avalanche of the masses, that of the cultural amphibian and that of the river metaphor.
