GARCIA DE LA SIENRA, Rodrigo. The Figure and the Mirror. Mimesis, Body, Nation. Interpret. Rev. herméneut [online]. 2022, vol.7, n.1, pp.15-39.  Epub 03-Mar-2023. ISSN 2448-864X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/irh.2022.1.2701x42.

This essay explicitly formulates the notion of “heterogeneous mimesis”, which Antonio Cornejo Polar implicitly outlined in his later works, but without enough time to complete a full theoretical development. In accordance with other notions, such as “contradictory totality”, “migrant subject”, and of course “heterogeneity”, this essay seeks to give a theoretical account of the relationship between a notion as complex and old as mimesis, and the use of the organicist metaphor of “body”, within the imaginary of the literary historiographies of the Latin American nations.

Palabras llave : heterogeneous mimesis; representation; imaginary; Antonio Cornejo Polar.
