Abstract
Since Steiner’s primordial concept of extraterritoriality, coined in 1969, theoretical attention to writings that transgress the continuity between territory, language and literature is on the rise. It is a perspective of great ethical potential, since the non-continuity between language and identity (territorial, national, ethnic-racial, etc.) disperses the bases of any type of fundamentalism; something essential for the world we live in, tragically marked, in its political dimension, by ontologically closed discourses.
I would like to offer, in this brief lecture, some notes on how the hearing of other linguistic sonorities has taken place and has been represented in the space geopolitically designated today as Latin America. And also, how these representations that we can call “hearing scenes” can be investigated as possible evidence of the conditions of the production of literary writing and, more broadly, as evidence or symptom of the various ways in which the social and political field (in which that literate production is inscribed) deals with otherness and dissonance. For this purpose, we propose a diachronic journey highlighting some key moments in the relationship between listening and linguistic otherness, bringing, among other authors, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Rubén Darío, José María Arguedas, Gloria Anzaldua and Lina Meruane.
