GATLIN, GORDON THOMAS. Historical Bilingual Identity in Malinche and Las dos Orillas. CS [online]. 2017, n.23, pp.19-35. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i23.2124.

This article analyzes how the authors to the modern fiction have used the historical characters of Dona Marina and Jerónimo Aguilar as fictional characters to reinterpret traditional formal history. These authors follow the chronicler tradition of using partial and subjective narratives to claim the reputation of historical characters. In the two novels analyzed, bilingual identity is fundamental in claiming the reputation of the characters who become sympathetic humans, despite their contributions to the success of the conquest.

Palabras clave : Biculturalism; Conquista; Postcolonialism.
