  • Cervantes and Don Quijote at Home and Abroad

    Open AccessRolena AdornoARTICLERenaissance Quarterly2024Referencias: 1

    Do resonances of Cervantes's frustrated attempts to be granted a royal appointment in the Spanish Indies filter into the “Quijote”? Can the author be glimpsed in the novel of which he is also a reader? What holds Don Quijote and Sancho Panza together and gives this episodic novel its coherence? Attuned to the rich conversational exchanges between the two protagonists, I argue that Don Quijote's escalating promises and Sancho's dogged pursuit of a…

  • The Polemics of Possession in Spanish American Narrative

    Rolena AdornoBOOKPolemics of Possession in Spanish…2017

    In this book on early Latin American narrative, Rolena Adorno argues that the foundations of the Latin American literary tradition are located in the writings that debated the rights to Spanish dominion in the Americas and the treatment of its natives. Placing the works of canonical Spanish and Amerindian writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries—Bartolomé de las Casas in particular—within this larger polemic, she shows how their works s…

  • El fin de la historia en la Nueva corónica y buen gobierno de Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala

    Open AccessRolena AdornoARTICLELetras (Lima2014Citada por: 1Referencias: 4

    El mapamundi de la Nueva corónica y buen gobierno combina y celebra una gran constelación de imágenes e ideas. Guaman Poma lo construye gráficamente, aprovechando la representación simbólica del espacio de la Europa medieval igual que la cosmología y cosmografía andinas. Guaman Poma complementa la organización espacial del mapamundi pictórico con formulaciones de valor temporal: su conceptualización de tiempos pasados, “las edades del mundo” en l…

  • On Western Waters

    Open AccessRolena AdornoARTICLEDaedalus2012Referencias: 1

    Anglo-American westward expansion provided a major impulse to the development of the young United States' narrative tradition. Early U.S. writers also looked to the South, that is, to the Spanish New World and, in some cases, to Spain itself. Washington Irving's “A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus” (1828), the first full-length biography of the admiral in English, inaugurated the trend, and Mark Twain's “Life on the Mississ…

  • Court and ChronicleA Native Andean’s Engagement with Spanish Colonial Law

    Rolena AdornoCHAPTERNative claims2011

    In Spanish colonial Mexico and Peru, natives assimilated to European language and custom served local civil and ecclesiastical institutions and learned through literacy to defend their claims to lands and properties. The case in the Spanish viceroyalty of Peru of a Quechua- and Spanish-speaking Andean, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, illustrates at close range some general principles about indigenous interactions with colonial institutions. When Gua…

  • A North American sojourn

    Rolena AdornoCHAPTERColonial Latin American literature2011

    ‘A North American sojourn’ charts the travails of Spanish settlers north of Mexico. Cabeza de Vaca had a poor military career — he was lost for nine years looking for ‘New Mexico’ and upon his return became embroiled in scandal. However, the record of his group's travels in North America — the Naufragios — provides an unsensational account of sensational events, and provided his contemporaries with a vision of a land which would not be explored a…

  • Estevanico's Legacy

    Rolena AdornoARTICLEArachne Rutgers Journal of…2002

    Estevanico's legacy is nothing if not ambiguous. So was his personal experience. He was a black African slave-Christianized but Arabicspeaking-who helped lvar Nez Cabeza de Vaca and two other Castilians of the ill-fated 1527 Pnfilo de Narvez expedition survive nearly eight years of hardship in the Texas wilderness. After the men's successful return to Spanish-held territory, Estevanico was resold into slavery and died violently somewhere in today…

    James Axtell, Rolena Adorno et al.ARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly2001Citada por: 12

    Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca's account of the doomed Narvaez expedition to the vast unexplored lands beyond the northern frontier of New Spain has long been heralded as the quintessential tale of the European confronting the wilderness of North America and its native inhabitants for the first time. After living captive among native peoples of the present-day Texas coast for almost six years, Cabeza de Vaca traveled overland through present-day west…
