ABSTRACT

Can we continue on the road for Utopia living inagainst-and-beyond the Apocalypse? The story of Gregorio Lopez is the one of a walker in Modern World History of/for both non-places: five hundred years ago, Thomas More’s book was being printed, and many saw old worlds being destroyed and other/new worlds being revealed. In order to deny a monolithic depicting of Gregorio Lopez-or any other 16th century man-we have to proportionally harmonise the frontiers of the imaginary in those literary loci and topoi, admitting his lived experience as part of the realities created and enacted through the readings and interpretations of both re-presentations of the future-real.
