Abstract

Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala (1526?-1615) is the Andean author of Nueva Crônica e buen gobierno, a text that reproduces, among other things, the critical process of identity from historical events of the Ame­ricas beginning in the 16th century. The chronicle involves an interdiscourse between the oral tradition of the maternal language and literality in a second language, but has recourse to the Andean iconogra­phical tradition as part of the conflicts of this identity. Quite aware of the irreversibility of the changes that Andean societies have undergone, the Indian chroni­cler decided to write what he knew ‘de oidas,’ in the manner of an ethnographer, compiling what he read in the Spanish chronicles and recording his own wit­nessing of the events and their historical antecedents. The written text is accompanied by drawings that illustrate what gives a special iconographic character to the document.
