| description | This article focuses on the ways Octavio Paz perceived India and the biographical factors that influenced his judgements —particularly, his voyages to the subcontinent, first as a tourist and then as Ambassador of Mexico. This text attempts, firts and fore-most, to draw on postcolonial theory to examine Paz’s Eurocentric approach in his essay Vislumbres de la India. I also examine critically his collection of poems Ladera este. This comparison seeks to contrast the affinity and distance of the poet towards his subject of study and devotion. The purpose of this article is dual: to emphasize the importance of India in Octavio Paz’s work (often overlooked by literary critics) and to evaluate his approaches aesthetically and academically. |

This text attempts, firts and fore-most, to draw on postcolonial theory to examine Paz’s Eurocentric approach in his essay Vislumbres de la India. I also examine critically his collection of poems Ladera este. This comparison seeks to contrast the affinity and distance of the poet towards his subject of study and devotion. The purpose of this article is dual: to emphasize the importance of India in Octavio Paz’s work (often overlooked by literary critics) and to evaluate his approaches aesthetically and academically. Este artículo indaga en la percepción que Octavio Paz tenía sobre la India, ahondando en su experiencia personal como viajero y, eventualmente, embajador de México en este país. La mayor parte del texto cuestiona mediante la teoría poscolonial el sesgo eurocéntrico que el escritor mexicano reproduce en Vislumbres de la India. No obstante, también hago una revisión crítica de su poemario Ladera Este, contrastando en ambos casos la afinidad y distancia del poeta hacia su sujeto de estudio y devoción. El propósito de este trabajo no es sólo destacar la importancia que la India tenía en Octavio Paz (un elemento a menudo olvidado en la crítica literaria), sino también evaluar estética y académicamente sus acercamientos a ella.
