Fatherland and nation in Rafael Landívar
Keywords:
Homeland, Nation, Society of Jesus, Rafael Landivar, Rusticatio Mexicana, Guatemalan literatureAbstract
The author contradicts those who consider Rafael Landívar's Rusticatio Mexicana as a manifestation of protonationalism and the beginning of the Guatemalan Nation. In the Spanish empire of the XVIII century there was a transcendental mutation in the political meaning and in the social mentality that served as support to concepts such as homeland, nation or national. It is a mistake to
apply contemporary concepts to concepts that evolved and acquired a different meaning. The basis for Rafael Landívar's approach to national identity is found in the Castilian Dictionary published in 1787, written by Esteban de Terreros y Pando, another of the Jesuits expelled in 1767.
