En el corazón de la historia política nacional colombiana, el mecanismo retórico del insulto. Hablar del 20 de julio de 1810 en la capital del virreinato del Nuevo Reino de Granada es hablar, en parte, de la anécdota popular de un comerciante español imputado un día por insultar a la franja entera de americanos. El presente ensayo examina las fuentes primarias que articularon dicho imaginario, tanto textual como teatralmente. Desde ellas se pregunta por las vías y las razones de la instrumentalización del insulto como parte del repertorio político patricio independentista.
Abstract
In the heart of Colombian National political history is found the rhetorical mechanism of the insult. To speak of the 20th of July of 1810 in the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada is to speak of a Spanish merchant charged with insulting the totality of American citizenry. This essay examines the primary sources that articulated the “Cry of Independence,” as much textually as theatrically. Using these texts as base, the trajectories and motives of the instrumentalization of “the insult” are interrogated as part of the Independence-era political repertory of patrician Colombia.
