El autor realiza un estudio diacrónico de la historia del biombo: desde sus orígenes asiáticos hasta su llegada a América Latina y su posterior comercialización en Europa. De esta manera, se parte de las crónicas que la España colonial hiciera al respecto para analizar tanto la relevancia de las decoraciones y los usos de dicho mueble movible (México, siglos XVII y XVIII, Perú, siglo XIX) como las concepciones culturales que a este iban asociadas. Por ende, el biombo se erige como metáfora de lo transareal, como materialización de diversas tradiciones culturales fusionadas y en movimiento.
Abstract
The author studies the history of the Japanese folding screen diachronically from its Asian origins to its arrival in Latin America and its subsequent commercialization in Europe. He starts reflecting on the chronicles written about it in Colonial Spain to analyze the importance of the decorations and the uses of these moving pieces of furniture (Mexico, 17th-18th centuries, Peru, 19th century) and the cultural conceptions that were related to it. The Japanese folding screen becomes thus a metaphor of the transareal as materialization of various cultural traditions that merge and are in movement.
