• Una biografía novelada de María Teresa León: «Cervantes, el soldado que nos enseñó a hablar»

  C. Perugini

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  En la biografía novelada se juntan, aparentemente contradictorios, el aspecto documental y científico de la historia con el subjetivismo y lo imaginativo de la ficción.Las cinco biografías noveladas de María Teresa León son, en el orden: El gran amor de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (Buenos Aires 1946); Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar el Cid Campeador (Buenos Aires 1954); Doña Jimena Díaz del Vivar. Gran señora de todos los deberes (Buenos Aires 1960); Menesteos, marinero de abril (México 1965); Cervantes, el soldado que nos enseñó a hablar (Madrid 1978). Llaman la atención inmediatamente dos elementos comunes: el haber sido escritas todas en el exilio, incluso la de Cervantes, última obra de la autora todavía exiliada en Roma, y su dedicación a figuras marcadas por un destino malhadado y heróico, y, cada una a su manera, ejemplares.La atención hacia los clásicos, y hacia Cervantes en particular, fue una constante en la generación de intelectuales que salieron de España después de la derrota. En la biografía de María Teresa se nota una fuerte compenetración entre escritores, la moderna y el antiguo, que llegará hasta la invención de detalles existenciales del biografiado, al que la autora ofrece su voz, su manera de pensar, sus ideales.Palabras clave: María Teresa León, biografía novelada, Cervantes

• The Making of the Hero in the Land of the Cinnamon Tree: Gonzalo Pizarro in the Royal Commentaries of Garcilaso Inca

  C. Velásquez

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2014). Vol. 2, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  Prior to his rebellion against the Spanish Crown in 1544, Gonzalo Pizarro (Francisco’s younger brother) accomplished the Conquest of Charcas (present-day northwestern Bolivia), survived the siege of Cuzco by Manco Inca and attempted the failed exploration of the mythical «Land of the Cinnamon Tree», located somewhere in the Amazonian basin, according to Garcilaso’s historical account. During this doomed expedition, Pizarro endured treason, lost companions and was defeated by the forces of an aggressive environment. However, he ma­naged to emerge as the legendary political and military leader that rebelled against the first Viceroy of Peru, Blasco Nuñez Vela in 1546. Nuñez Vela would be defeated in battlefield and later executed. Gonzalo Pizarro’s pretension of becoming king of Peru by virtue of a political alliance with the surviving Incas would be seen in Garcilaso’s account as a proof of Pizarro’s heroic stature, albeit a tragic one.

• The Humanist Ideal of Peace in Pacification Accounts by the Chronicler Fernández de Oviedo

  V. Teglia

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2014). Vol. 2, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This  paper  poses  that,  in  order  to  represent  the  first  Spanish  conquests  in  the Antilles, Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, within his Historia General y Natural de las Indias, takes certain official legal documents as models to guide and structure his account. Such documents are the royal ordinances and Palacios Rubios’ Requerimiento.  Consequently,  the  character’s speech  and  actions  are  marked  with  the  ideals  of  XVIth  century  humanist, Renaissance, and erasmist thought —peace, love-friendship  and the model of the prudent, moderate leaders— while a speech which seeks to legitimize the Spanish rules in the New World —while presenting it in terms of «pacification»— is being simultaneously unfolded. This whole discursive compound results in a plural, diverse and at times contradictory account, influenced and influential, and, above all, founding of some of the Utopian-imperial speech and imagery that were projected over the Americas and that constituted it.

• Arrival and Conquests in the Viceroyalty of Peru in Times of Francisco de Borja y Aragón, Príncipe de Esquilache (1615-1621)

  M. Ovalle

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2014). Vol. 2, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  In the context of the Relación, by Francisco de Borja y Aragón, this paper will report on the exploratory travels —named Arrival and Conquests— of Spanish encomenderos and soldiers between 1615 and 1621. In this context, the present study highlights some of the difficulties Esquilache faced in the exercise of power as head of the Viceroyalty of Peru. We focus our attention on the specific event named Spanish Government. The reasons discussed this time, are closely related to the battle between soldiers and trustees to obtain personal profit. The latter was a current struggle, dating from the origins of the viceroyalty. However, at the time of the events, such conflicts had worsened due to a complex political and economic situation.

• Representation of the Indian in Calderón’s «La Aurora en Copacabana»

  J. Meza

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2014). Vol. 2, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  The article analyzes the onomastics of the Indian characters, the portrayal of the Inca Empire of Huáscar and Atahualpa, and the Christianization of Guacolda and Yupangui in Calderón’s La Aurora en Copacabana. Rational and proactive, these two characters realize the illegitimacy of the Inca idolatry and embrace the true religion, long before the formal start of Perú’s christianization. Thus, it is argued that this specific representation of the Indian may have been influenced by the close circles indianos of Miguel de Aguirre, who allegedly patronized this comedy.

• Blacks as Figure of Negation and Difference in Spanish Golden Age Theater

  B. Molinero

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2014). Vol. 2, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  Modernity in Europe and America has negated the existence of Blacks, making them invisible. Spanish Renaissance and Baroque theater represents the Black figure in three ways. Some Black characters embody the negation of humanity; other Blacks attempt to erase their skin color at the physical and metaphysical level, and thus their presence in society as difference and as beings in history; lastly, and this is the exception, some are individuals who confront this negation and demand their freedom against a society that sees them only as slaves. This is the case of the play Juan Latino (c. 1625) by Diego Ximénez de Enciso. Its protagonist affirms his presence in historical memory.
