Comentarios reales (1964) de Antonio Cisneros y Poderes secretos (1995) de Miguel Gutiérrez: su relación con el «paradigma garcilasista»

Comentarios reales (1964), the collection of poems by Antonio Cisneros, and the essay-novel Poderes secretos (1995), by Miguel Gutiérrez, propose to “revise”, “demystify”, “destabilize” the discourses of and about Inca Garcilaso. In the present work I analyze the way in which both authors dialogue with these discourses that, even when they confront and oppose each other, are inscribed in the same paradigm, that of the mestizo condition of the Inca. I will try to show that the poet Cisneros and the narrator Gutiérrez elaborate their texts from the confrontation, questioning and criticism of both the Hispanism of the Generation of 900 led by José de la Riva Agüero and the anti-Hispanism of Luis E. Valcárcel and then, even though they are later than the writing of Cisneros’s collection of poems, to the new approaches to Spanish-American colonial literary studies.
