Resumen
MARTINEZ, Carolina. The impact of the New World on the invention of Tomás Moro's Utopia. Nómadas [online]. 2017, n.47, pp.137-151. ISSN 0121-7550.
The article studies the impact of the notion of the New World in the work of Utopia by Tomás Moro in 1516. Accordingly, the text evaluates the scope of American and Asian novelties and their communication channels in the creation of a credible cosmographic discourse, as evidenced in the Moro Treaty. The text proposes that the creation of a virtual utopian space was created (in geographical and political terms) in the ambiguity originated in the tensions between classical knowledge and the transoceanic experience of early modernity.
