| Sumario: | The article addresses the denunciation that José Enrique Rodó presents in his Ariel (1900) about Latin American “northmania”. After specifying why Rodó saw in this attitude a problem, the article reconstructs some of its fundamental premises linked to attention, with the purpose of evaluating in what sense that denunciation can still mean something important for the criticism of our time. Showing, firstly, that Rodonian “northmania” seems to hide within it an ideal linked to the sovereignty of attention (both personal and collective), and secondly, that various economic and political dynamics of our time revolve around the kidnapping or abduction of attention. To concluded, in the end, that Rodóʼs denunciation continues to penetrate deep into our twenty-first century by helping us to illuminate the difficulties that persist in the task of reorient our gaze towards ourselves and build, from there, other forms of sovereignty (political, academic and economic). |
