Resumen
La circulación de imágenes y textos sobre el mundo natural americano fue una de las claves para generar nuevas modalidades de conocimiento en relación al encuentro con esta nueva y fascinante geografía El siguiente artículo propone explorar los itinerarios de un espécimen de la flora americana en particular : el ananá. La particularidad de esta fruta es que sus modos de conocimiento han sido canalizados hacia una multiplicidad de cauces, ha desbordado la disciplina de la historia natural y se ha erigido como significante en sí misma. A partir del análisis de una serie de casos de estudio de crónicas sobre esta fruta acompañadas de imágenes que acontecieron a lo largo de un amplio espectro temporal (desde el siglo XVI al XVIII) y geográfico, se pretende reflexionar sobre el conocimiento como experiencia y sobre la instancia de representación como expresión de dicho conocimiento.
The circulation of images and texts about America’s natural world was one of the keys in terms of the generation of new knowledge modalities regarding this fascinating and recently discovered new geography. This article proposes to explore the itineraries of a particular specimen of the American flora: the pineapple. The particularity of this fruit is that access to its knowledge has been channelled towards a multiplicity of courses, it has overflown the discipline of natural history and it has managed to proclaim itself as significant. Based on the analysis of a series of study cases of accounts about this fruit that were accompanied by images that appeared throughout a wide range of time (from the 16th to the 18th century) and a wide geographical scope, this work pretends to ponder on knowledge as experience and about the process of representation as expression of such knowledge.
