Surgimiento del sujeto colectivo, reclamo y rebeldía en la Instrucción al licenciado Lope García de Castro de Titu Cusi Yupanqui

Sumario: The Instrucción al licenciado Lope García de Castro (1570) by Titu Cusi Yupanqui is the first indigenous account of the Inca empire fall. Until now, most of the researchers efforts about the Instrucción have focused on two opposite aims: to reveal how culturally indigenous or how hybrid it is. This article deals with a double purpose. The first one is to expose how this account accomplished an ideological achievement in order to confront the ongoing Spanish conquest: the constitution of a first colonial indigenous subject, a nosotros, ‘us,’ opposed to a Spanish ellos, ‘they,’ and defined in ethical terms. The second goal is to prove how this ethical contrast structures the Titu Cusi Yupanqui’s discourse as the first indigenous political program of resistance and accommodation in Peruvian history that, through different manners, has been revisited and reformulated by the Andean culture along the colonial and post-colonial times.
