Literature validates action. Genres of fiction in Bernal Díaz del Castillo´s historiographic prose
Keywords:
Chronicles of Indias, Historiography, Romancero, Intertextuality
Abstract
The article deals with the way in which different genres and discoursive praxis come into contact. In this sense, it first reflects on the concept of truth such as it is treated in historiographic theory, focusing on its relations to intertextuality and its discoursive manifestations. Second, the article examines the concrete appearance of this problematic in Bernal Díaz del Castillo´s Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España by bringing into light its constitutive features and paying special attention to the role of the romancero in historiographic praxis.Downloads
