Resumo

With the assumption that the essay writing establishes a place for America in the West, we intend to indicate how such narratives configured a field to the interpretation of the continent. The hypothesis is that this peculiar interpretation defined a "place in the world" to the Latin American culture, it did so when it made sense to the historical experience of the concept of trauma. To discuss about this hypothesis, we prioritize the essay through a long period of time, bringing to the analysis the narratives of Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes and Thomas Moulian as well as Francisco Bilbao and the Justo Sierra. Still, as a counterpoint, we turn to the speeches of Simon Bolivar and Gabriel García Márquez, as these equally express the Latin American trauma. This trajectory is relevant because, in our analysis, we identified the common thread to these scriptures – the trauma. The choice of these essayists, at different times, but related, is also pervaded the purpose of demonstrating how the "writing history" of Latin America today is indebted to the essay.
