La Brevísima: el fantasma y el árbol del crimen
Keyword(s):
This work essays an approach to the most radical work of fray Bartolomé de Las Casas —A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies— through Sade’s writing system and, particularly, through the enlightenment of Roland Barthes’ reading in his book Sade, Fourier, Loyola which paradoxically places Las Casas in the dark side of a tradition often confused with the so-called “black legend” that can be defined by the title Barthes initially gave to his essay: “The Tree of Crime”. This work about crime, mise-en-scene and cruelty is deeply rooted in the Baroque, and also shows its multiple connections with the techniques of the image and imagination of Ignacio de Loyola.
