Based on the proposal of Reinhart Koselleck, this paper examines nine different cases of Portuguese and Spanish America in order to check whether those regions went through the "modern" historical experience. This new experience could be distinguished by the disarticulation and the reconfiguration of the classical relations of temporality. According to research results, I argue that the answer in affirmative, even if we observe overlapping and a not necessarily uniform development. Especially, this is noticeable when we compare the historical experiences of the old imperial centers (Madrid and Lisbon) and the former colonies (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela).Downloads
