The teaching of the Spanish language in colonial America: pedagogy, Latinity and construction of identities in the emblems of Guamán Poma de Ayala
Abstract
Transculturation processes and the formation of identities are analyzed in this investigation into the emblematic politics of the Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno [First new chronicle and good government] of Guamán Poma de Ayala (ca. 1616). Understood as a pluricultural act of discourse between Andean cosmological visions and the new systems of European cultural codification, this study follows the emblematic chronicler from Poma on the subject of colonial education, the teaching of Spanish, and the Ladino Indian, through structured relations fixed between space, icon, and symbol.
