          Abstract

          En el presente artículo se busca analizar diferentes formas de entender y de narrar el cuerpo humano en dos libros de Bartolomé de Las Casas, cronista de Indias del siglo XVI. Para ello se identifican algunos contextos: la formación intelectual del fraile, las guerras en donde se destruye el cuerpo del enemigo, y otro más de tipo religioso cristiano. A su vez, la identificación de diversos significados del cuerpo en la obra del fraile permite sugerir la utilización de algunos mecanismos narrativos para defender el cuerpo del indio: una narración argumentativa y demostrativa, otra de denuncia y una tercera comparativa. Este tipo de análisis pretende ampliar la perspectiva de las investigaciones acerca de la historia del cuerpo en el momento de la conquista del Nuevo Mundo, y busca adentrarse en el análisis de los cronistas de Indias desde temáticas poco indagadas hasta ahora.

          Translated abstract

          The following article aims to analyze different ways of understanding and narrating human body in two books written by Bartolomé de las Casas a 16th century Indies chronicler. For that some contexts are identified: one related to friar's intellectual education, a second one marked by the wars where the enemy 's body is destroyed and the last would be christian/religious. At the same time, the identification of diverse meaning of the human body in friar's work allows suggesting the use of some narrative mechanisms to defend the indian's body: an argumentative narration and demonstrative, the second accuser, and the third one comparative. That kind of analysis pretends to amplify the research perspectives about the body's history in the conquest of the New World and attempts to go deeper in the analysis of Indies chroniclers from less researched subjects until now.
