El abordaje comparativo de 'La conquista' en dos autores mestizos: Garcilaso de la Vega y Ruiz Díaz Guzmán

this paper analyses the representation of colonial domination, process commonly known as "the conquest", in the work of two writers belonging to the first half-breed generations of the early 17th century: garcilaso de la vega and ruy díaz de guzmán. the selection is based on two fundamental criteria: on the one hand both declare themselves as "naturales" and reveal a strong sense of belonging regarding the cultural areas they describe; on the other hand, both attach themselves to opposite ethnic identities, thus maintaining a different relationship with the complex problems of mestizaje and miscegenation -while garcilaso claims to be an inca, ruy díaz de guzmán introduces himself as a spaniard. therefore, the biographies of both authors are discussed in order to understand their life trajectories, ideologies and work from a comparative point of view.
