    Sátira vs. épica: la respuesta de "La victoria naval peruntina" al "Arauco domado" de Pedro de Oña
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2019) Segas, L. (Lise)
    This article studies the relationship between an anonymous epic satirical poem, La victoria naval peruntina, attributed to Mateo Rosas de Oquendo, and the heroic poem Arauco domado by Pedro de Oña. It contextualizes the historical substance of both poems in the beginning of the maritime war against privateers in the Pacific Ocean. Then focusing on the intertextual and controversial connexions the satire established with Oña’s poem. This analysis leads to consider the dialogue between satire and epic poetry, thanks to Pascal Debailly’s works, and to examine how the privateer character offers narrative and moral potentialities in order to criticize viceregal elites. The satirical anger reveals the complexity and heterogeneity of the colonial discourse using the privateers raids as a polemical question.
