| Summary: | This contribution analyses analogies between the genres of chivalric romance and colonial epics, regarding the presence of a dominant material culture which is linked to metapoetical aspects. If the ‘orientalist’ romance Tirant lo Blanc by Joanot Martorell (1490) and Alonso de Ercilla’s epic La Araucana (1569-1597) are supposed to share an aspiration for self-affirmation and for the appropriation of land and goods, this ‘materialism’ goes along with the exposition of writing itself within the narrated world. Paradoxically, this concretion or materialization of the metapoetic does not lead to the ‘materia’, the concrete matter of the conquests. In Tirant, the text escapes to an artificial world of simulacrum, and the notion of hyper-reality (Baudrillard) hides the hero’s violent aspirations. In La Araucana, the fetish of writing dissimulates the violence of colonization. However, the araucans textually oppose to the fetishism of writing –by defending a logics of expense (Bataille) as an alternative to the accumulation of material and of writing. |
