Este libro intenta mostrar la representación textual delas islas Galápagos desde su descubrimiento hasta nuestros días. El argumentoprincipal sugiere que la descripción de este espacio crucial para la modernidad,dada la retórica de los escritores de viajes y ficción, transforma el áreainsular para concebir formas alternativas del proyecto de construcción nacionalen América Latina. Como resultado de las empresas coloniales, excursionescientíficas, crónicas periodísticas o expediciones, la escritura de viaje delas Galápagos condiciona la formación del estado y su imaginario nacional. Estoocurre por el capital simbólico que posee archipiélago y por el deseo de losintelectuales latinoamericanos de pertenecer a un territorio cosmopolita.El espacio insular funciona como un significante vacío donde los viajeros pueden comunicar su propio significado al narrar las experiencias de sus viajes. Este fenómeno crea una división conceptual y política entre la identidad de las islas y la nación ecuatoriana. Dichas ambigüedades narrativas crearon una ruptura que condujo a variaciones fundamentales en la forma en que los habitantes locales y entidades extranjeras interpretan las Galápagos hoy en día, ya que su literatura refleja una tensión particular de cara a las tendencias migratorias en las islas, así como los intereses globales que prevalecen en la apropiación del espacio.This book,written in Spanish, takes a literary and cultural studies model to explain thetextual representation of the Galápagos Islands since their discovery untilpresent day. The main argument suggests that the depiction of this crucialspace for modernity in Western thought, given the rhetoric of travel andfiction writers, transforms the insular area with the intention of conceivingdisparate forms of political displacement. Specifically, these depictions show severalconflicts that arose from the seeking of identity in Ecuador during thenation-building project that took place at the time. As a result of colonial enterprises(scientific excursions, exile, tourism, journalistic pieces, expeditions, etc.), travel writings of the Galápagos condition the formation of the state and itsnational imagery because of the extreme symbolic capital of the archipelago andthe desire of Latin American intellectuals to belong to a cosmopolitanterritory.
