Abstract
La presente investigación, retoma y revisa los conceptos de algunos de los imaginarios impuestos sobre la naturaleza tropical americana de las colonias españolas desde la mirada decolonial, haciendo énfasis en los mecanismos de exhibición de la naturaleza tropical, como son los invernaderos de cristal construidos durante el siglo XIX y XX en Europa y que, desde el pensamiento Ilustrado y Moderno-occidental, han transformado la visión de la naturaleza americana y el paisaje bajo las lógicas capitalistas hasta el día de hoy. Utilizando como analogía la construcción del jardín el trabajo traza un recorrido que se presenta como una dualidad que confronta el discurso científico e histórico establecido y una perspectiva del conocimiento situado como epistemología del Sur
This research, reviews the concepts of some of the imaginary imposed on the American tropical nature of the Spanish colonies from the decolonial view, emphasizing the mechanisms of exhibition of tropical nature, such as glass greenhouses built during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe which, from the Enlightenment and Modern-Western thought, have transformed the vision of American nature and landscape under the capitalist logic until today. Using as an analogy the construction of the garden, the work traces a path that is presented as a duality that confronts the established scientific and historical discourse and a perspective of knowledge located as epistemology of the South.
