Abstract
El objeto del presente trabajo es analizar las posturas ideológicas del venezolano Francisco de Miranda (1750-1816) en lo relativo a las dos grandes estrategias que signaron el nacimiento de la modernidad política: la revolucionaria, dirigida en las antiguas colonias españolas a obtener la independencia de la metrópolis, y la constitucional, destinada a organizar el régimen de los nuevos Estados y a establecer las directrices fundamentales de su existencia política, institucional y social. Incorporado al panteón patriótico de los próceres de América Latina, y especialmente de Venezuela, Miranda ha recibido el homenaje de la historia oficial, que lo ha proclamado “precursor” del movimiento independentista. Junto a esto, el héroe nacido en Caracas representa un motivo de inspiración para el ideal de la integración latinoamericana, en virtud del proyecto nacional que concibió para una inmensa porción del continente –desde el Misisipi hasta el Cabo de Hornos–, a la que pretendía llamar Colombia en homenaje al descubridor. En la medida en que Simón Bolívar materializó la creación de una república con el mismo nombre, e impulsada en buena parte por la misma vocación continental, el juicio que la posteridad ha reservado a Miranda se ha formulado inevitablemente sobre el contraste con las ideas y los logros bolivarianos...
The aim of this work is to analyze the ideological visions of Venezuelan patriot Francisco de Miranda (1750-1816), focusing on the two great strategies that marked the beginning of modern politics: Revolution, conducted in the former Spanish colonies to gain the independence from the metropolis; and Constitutionalism, set up to organize the regime of the new states, and to establish the main guidelines of their political, institutional and social existence. Miranda, who occupies a prominent position in the Patriotic Pantheon of Latin American leaders, has been honored by the official history with the title of “Precursor” –̔Forerunner̕– of the revolution for Independence. The Caracas-born hero has also become an inspiring figure for the ideal of Latin American integration, due to the national project he conceived for an extensive portion of the continent –from Mississippi to Patagonia– and planned to name Colombia as a tribute to the Discoverer. Since was Simon Bolivar who materialized the creation of a republic with the same name, and largely motivated by the same continental-scale views, the judgment that posterity has reserved to Miranda has been based inevitably upon the contrasting with Bolivarian ideas and achievements...
