          Abstract

          RESUMEN En el presente trabajo, se discute cómo la construcción de metáforas coloniales desde mediados del siglo XIX en Occidente favoreció la cimentación del nuevo orden imperialista que promovió la dominación política y económica de Asia y África, y, asimismo, el expolio de los objetos culturales pertenecientes a las sociedades nativas. Las metáforas coloniales no sólo tuvieron aceptación entre los miembros de la clase dominante, sino también entre quienes pertenecían a la intelectualidad del momento, sobre todo a partir de la gestación de los llamados Estudios del Próximo Oriente antiguo. Por otra parte, producto de la confiscación de los objetos culturales de las regiones sometidas, se conformaron los museos europeos y norteamericanos, cuyo modelo coleccionista fue emulado por las elites de Sudamérica.

          ABSTRACT This paper discusses how the construction of colonial metaphors from the mid-19th century in the Western world favored the foundation of the new imperialist order that promoted the political and economic domination of Asia and Africa and the looting of the cultural property of native peoples. These metaphors were embraced not only by members of the ruling class, but also by those belonging to the intelligentsia of the time, especially from the gestation of the so-called Ancient Near Eastern Studies. The confiscation of cultural objects from subject regions grounded the formation of the European and North American museums, whose collector model was emulated by the elites of South America.
