Abstract
-
The process of expansion and consolidation in the XV century by the Spanish Crown inside the Iberian peninsula and later in the New World brings up, among many economic, social, cultural and political changes, a more subtle but also important transformation: the manner in which the Spaniards and Americans started seeing themselves and each other through the mediation of various elements (race, gender, social and economical conditions, religion), which determined their form of acting in the private and public spheres of the new colonial society. These new conditions forced the transformation of the Spanish subject and the process of its formation. This new colonial relationship imposed by Spain on America allowed and, in some cases, forced the emergence of a new type of subjectivities, which at the same time, were the result of the positions the new subjects assumed in different contexts and historical situations.;The first part of this study addresses the problem of the emergence of the colonial subject in Spain and America during the XVI and XVII centuries. It takes into consideration diverse material and ideological factors that had a direct or indirect impact on the formation of the colonial subjectivity. This study differentiates the positions of the colonial subject and analyzes these positions extensively in order of importance and influence. The above mentioned factors plus the positions the subject takes will determine the existence, among others, of the following subject positions: subject of nobility, subject of virtue, subject of religion, subject of economy. All these positions experienced important changes in the New World after 1492, and created the conditions for the formation of the colonized subject.;The second part of this study analyzes the mestizos' assumption of their subjectivity and the complex questions these subjects raised with their coming into existence. The mestizos, in order to define their subjectivity, first had to deal with the victorious European colonial subject and the vanquished American colonized subject. Second, they had to define themselves using the elements that the European and American subjects offered to them. This dissertation concludes by underscoring emphasis on the experience of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, so as to understand, if not to explain a little, the importance of this new type of subjectivity in America.
