Abstract
LOPEZ MAGUINA, Santiago. Lo arcaico y lo moderno en La utopía arcaica de Mario Vargas Llosa. Letras [online]. 2015, vol.86, n.124, pp.311-324. ISSN 2071-5072.
This article shows that the contrast between the archaic and the modern in the Andean culture is not presented by Vargas Llosa only as an opposition between two types of rationality , the mythical vs scientific , but between two ways of approaching dissymmetric to the reality, that have no terms of comparison and thus would be both mutually unintelligible, as incompatible. But the misunderstanding is more pronounced from the Indian side , since the criollo hand, integrated into modern life and Western culture. From the edge of the modern you can access the uptake of the archaic, while from the Andean band is impossible to reach the other edge
