La Florida del Inca en el contexto de la mundialización ibérica. Una edición crítica de la obra

Abstract

The Inca’s Florida is a work that can be understood in the context of Iberian globalization, displacements and migrations characteristic of the sixteenth century, and in which we can see the interest that the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega had in the events that were unfolding on the other side of the Atlantic in search of new territories. Thus, in the first pages of the book, the author refers to the transatlantic voyages and explorations that had been carried out, in that period, in the south of the current United States, from the exploits of Cortés to the expedition of Hernando de Soto (1539). Without ceasing to focus on La Florida, this paper contains two sections: in the first one, I propose certain Garcilasian aspects related to the phenomenon of globalization; in the second, I will comment on the fundamental lines of the critical edition of this work that I recently published.
