The encounter between Pizarro and Atahualpa in 1532 and its discursive representations in early-modern cultures JF - Jangada: crítica | literatura | artes JA - Jangada VL - 9 IS - 1 SE - Dossiê DO - 10.35921/jangada.v1i17.401 UR - https://revistajangada.ufv.br/Jangada/article/view/401 SP - 242-269 AB - <p>This contribution treats the historical representations of the encounter between the Inca King Atahualpa and the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on november 16<sup>th</sup>, 1532, in the Peruvian town of Cajamarca which was one of the decisive turning points of the Spanish conquest of South America. After theoretical and methodological reflections on the relations between intercultural communication processes and cultural transfers in the context of the <em>conquista, </em>it focuses first on the various contemporary Spanish discourses on the event of November 16<sup>th</sup>, 1532, which represented predominantly an official ideological version of it. In a further step are analyzed the new 18<sup>th</sup>-century discourses, influenced by different historical sources, like the work of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, which reveal very different ‘constructions’, based on a transcultural network of cultural transfers and intercultural mediators, of this event.</p> ER -
