Magellan Strait, Francis Drake, Thomas Cavendish, Representations, XVIth CenturyAbstract
Five centuries after the first crossing of the Magellan Strait, the English experiences of Francis Drake (1577-1580) and Thomas Cavendish (1586-1588) are analyzed with the aim of reconstructing the symbolic appropriations that the navigators made on the Tierra del Fuego region and its inhabitants. Printed books, manuscripts, images and maps evoke the southernmost American otherness as a device of the overseas competition between England and Spain. Besides, they show the hostilities with the Natives unleashed during the crossing, which were seen according the travelers’ objectives and their validation as authors. Hence this work emphasizes the contrasts between the two English circumnavigation experiences, giving an account of the conditions in which their representations were made.
