Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the process of creation of the image of the Turk in literary and visual sources, specially during 16^th and 17^th centuries. This process is studied taking into account the presence of conversos (Moriscos) in the Iberian Peninsula and how this fact was important in the configuration and perception of the otherness in that moment, as well as the construction of the identity.
