| Tratando de enmendar el olvido al que tradicionalmente ha sido relegada la literatura filipina en castellano dentro de los estudios hispánicos, este artículo se aproxima a la figura de Federico Espino Licsi, uno de los más prolíficos y premiados poetas filipinos contemporáneos, y analiza desde varias perspectivas de los estudios postcoloniales la idealización de la cultura y la literatura española que se aprecia en los textos del poeta. Se plantea la diferencia de actitudes hacia las colonizaciones norteamericana y la española por parte de algunos escritores filipinos, y la asimilación de lo hispano como parte de la identidad filipina y por tanto susceptible de ser utilizado como instrumento de rebelión postcolonial contra lo estadounidense. Finalmente hablaremos de cómo esta idealización del canon occidental no sólo español refleja una visión colonial orientalista (en el sentido que da Edward Said al término) en la que se exotiza lo occidental desde el Oriente. Philippine literature in Spanish is traditionally a marginalized subfield of Hispanic studies, and contemporary literature even more markedly so. This article addresses the issue, firstly by approaching the work of one of the most prolific, award-winning Philippine poets in Spanish, deceased in 2011, Federico Espino Licsi. Secondly, it analyses the idealization of Spanish culture and literature which appears in Espino Licsis texts from the perspectives of various postcolonial studies. The article considers the differences in attitudes held by some Philippine writers towards Spanish and North American colonization. It also considers the assimilation into the Philippine identity of its Hispanic heritage, through which it is susceptible to being used as cultural tool for postcolonial rebellion against its US heritage. Finally, the article considers how the idealization of not just the Spanish but also the Western canon reflects a colonial, Orientalist vision (in Edward Saids meaning of the term) in which Western culture becomes exotized by the East. |
