• Resumen

  • Literary analysis has traditionally involved analyzing texts and historiography has likewise been concerned with extracting history from documents and texts. This study departs from the theories developed by Sara Castro-Klarén’s reading of Guaman Poma and argues for the need of the social sciences both in the exposition of history and in the exercise of literary criticism with the hope of incorporating heterogeneous communities in the national literature and historiography of Peru.
