TRABAJAR SOBRE LAS RUINAS DEL OTRO: TEMPORALIDAD INDIA Y SENTIDO DEL PAGANISMO EN LA HISTORIA GENERAL DE FRAY BERNARDINO DE SAHAGÚN (1558-1577).

- Abstract
Writing about America was deployed in various scenarios: This article sets out to understand the nature of the interpretations that fray Bernardino de Sahagún built on indigenous societies in the sixteenth century. Working on the Indian past was generative. It allowed filling up with outsider meaning the ruins of the Other: reinterpreting the pagan society to its foundations, so that it made sense in the context of the European look and its regime of truth. His writing was creating depth to the missionary work: in the process of evangelization he worked for the construction of a new indigenous memory. His work was able to resolve the place Indians had to hold in temporality and the meaning of the pagan gods in the Christian worldview.
