GARCIA, Gustavo V.. Incaism and Legitimation of the American “Nation” in the Diálogo entre Atahualpa y Fernando VII en los Campos Elíseos. Káñina [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.2, pp.49-65. ISSN 2215-2636. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v41i2.30475.
The Diálogo entre Atahualpa y Fernando VII en los Campos Elíseos of Bernardo Monteagudo claims independence of the Americas from Spanish domination. Its clarity and radicalism are not derived from a teleological-based criterion of thinking and building the “nation” as something completely shaped since the beginings of the independence movements. On the contrary, the Diálogo is the outcome of the historical experiences and the symbolic construction of a new identity proposed by the “Inca-ism” that was consolidated, at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th, as the first political emancipation doctrine with continental reach. The “Inca-ism” had a favorable reception with different sectors that had been under Spanish domination. For the indigenous (and popular) masses this represented the oportunity of a racial redemption. On the part of the intellectuals, through reading and interpretation of The Royal Commentaries of the Incas offered the possibility to “return” and construct an American “Nation” modernizing the Incan tradition by the influence of the European Enlightenment.
