Some time ago, Edmundo O'Gorman called attention to the symbolic and discursive production that led to "the invention of America." Paraphrasing it, we could add that the Western logos, who produced the invention of America at the beginning of the 16th century, has not ceased, since then, to continue inventing it and to produce successive discourses of representations of America. These representations, a product of Western legitimizing activity, took shape in historical practice, a privileged place and magical mirror in which the Western gaze delights in inventing others. This historical truth of others cannot escape the absolute control of the logic of its origins, and although it attempts to base its truth on primary sources, true testimonies, the logic that organizes them, no matter how rational it may be, will always be a Western imaginary production. . In this sense, it is worth asking whether the return to the sources, to the document, which historical practice has periodically preached for a little over a century, is nothing more than a mere rhetorical artifice. Thus, what remains to be resolved is the problem of knowing whether in a discourse produced and controlled for centuries by the West there will be room for the slightest American truth, or if you want, how it can be traced in the set of texts and images that constitute America as a representation. Western, the elements of a genuine and preserved America from before contagion with the West.
