"Latinizar o monroísmo": la Doctrina Monroe entre la "América hispano-portuguesa" y la América anglófona, décadas de 1890 a 1910
This article revisits Latin American reactions to and reworkings of the Monroe Doctrine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through the lens of translation.It reconstructs neglected textual exchanges between Spanish-, Portuguese-, and English-speaking America, focusing on the Spanish translations of works by two Brazilians: intellectual Eduardo Prado and diplomat-historian Oliveira Lima.Much non-fiction circulated between Spanish and Portuguese without translation.Against this backdrop, the deliberate rendering of Brazilian texts into Spanish acquires particular significance, revealing Brazil's integration into anti-U.S. Latin Americanist trends often thought to exclude it.Thus, the Monroe Doctrine emerges not as a stable expression of U.S. dominance but as a contested and pluralized concept, shaped in part through a concerted effort by "Spanish-Portuguese America" to "latinizar o monroismo."Theoretically, the article proposes a framework that bridges translation studies, language, and international relations, both in general and in peripheral areas in particular.
