Shep Lenchek provides a biographical sketch of the Spanish explorer Nuno Beltran de Guzman (d. 1550). In 1530, Guzman was the leader of an expedition that resulted in the annexation of the Mexican states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Aguascaliente, Durango, Sinaloa and Zacetecas. Guzman was known for his arbitrary decisions, as well as for his ruthless treatment of the Indians.
This study analyzes the discursive and narratological articulations of subjectivity in Guzman de Alfarache -- the first picaresque novel of Spain's Golden Age. Davis's study demonstrates that while the Guzman appears to affirm the relationships of power and ideologies it represents, its composition underscores the contextual and mutable nature of discourses that structure society.
