%X the historia de las indias by bartolome de las casas is a constitutively polemical text. its narrative episodes attemp to become refuting evidence particulary against gonzalo fern¨¢ndez de oviedo's historia general y natural de las indias and juan gin¨¦s de sep¨²lveda's writings for the valladolid debate. from this controversy, a particular representation of the native american arises: we will carefully study the inversion strategies of the dominican friar about certain stigmatizing images of incapacity, lack, and imperfection of the indian: his "idleness", "bestial" character, "inferiority" and idolatry. for his adversative discourse, las casas makes use of certain refutation techniques y some figures of aggression: retaliation, metastasis, demystification, dissociations, injury, among others.
