Inca Garcilaso and global warming: keys to a contemporary reading of the "Royal Commentaries"

Abstract

I propose a reading of the Royal Commentaries (1609 and 1617) in contemporary code, that is, finding in the work meanings pertinent to social and historical problems of the beginnings of the 21st century. In contrast to the traditional readings of the Inca Garcilaso, based on philological and historicist criteria, I offer an interpretation towards the future of the Inca, that is, according to his validity to understand and contribute to the solution of current crises such as global warming and neocolonialism.
