GERARDO, Diana Roselly Pérez. The vices and virtues in the images of the Nueva corónica y buen gobierno by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala: the violence between justice and arrogance. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.43, pp.104-130. ISSN 0122-5197.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.mys21-43.vvin.

We examine, from a historiographic analysis, the graphic representation of vices and virtues in the Nueva coronica y buen gobierno by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala. We contrast the representations of vices and virtues, both of the Indians and of the Spaniards, throughout the work, based on the canons in force at the time, which conceived history as an indispensable didactic tool for the education and moralization of society, and under the influence that Tridentine politics exerted on the author. Likewise, we observe the relationship that the author establishes between the notion ofjustice and the fear of punishment; thus, we propose to distinguish the violence associated with the order and the good Inca government from the scenes that denounce the sin of arrogance thought the portrayal of the abuses perpetrated by Spaniards and by some Indians in the colony.

Palabras clave : Guaman Poma; historiography; images; vices and virtues; justice and arrogance.
