The Spanish Crown, at the head of the first world-linking process, is a proper analytical frame in order to approach these kinds of links that were as reciprocal as unequal on both shores of Atlantic. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca’s experience as Governor of the Río de la Plata province, which he narrates in his book Comentarios (1555), casts light over the complex realities that the project of Spanish colonization had to face in the area, where Spanish invaders and guaraní natives forcibly coexisted. Between the level of the local and global, the lived and the narrated, Álvar Núñez’s book allows to understand the continental imbrication process of the Iberian Monarchy through one of its agent’s perspective. And, with it, the way in which travel narratives portrayed other human experiences, which could transform European cultural expectations. La integración del Nuevo Mundo americano al dominio y conocimiento europeo del siglo XVI estuvo lejos de ser un fenómeno unidireccional. La corona española, vanguardia de la primera mundialización, constituye un marco de análisis adecuado para abordar estas relaciones tan recíprocas como desiguales en ambas orillas atlánticas. La experiencia de Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca como gobernador de la Provincia del Río de la Plata, que vuelca en su obra Comentarios (1555), ilumina las complejas realidades que el proyecto de colonización española afrontó en el área, donde invasores españoles y nativos guaraníes conviven forzadamente. Entre los niveles de lo local y lo global y de lo vivido y lo narrado, la obra de Álvar Núñez permite entender el proceso de imbricación continental de la monarquía ibérica desde la perspectiva de uno de sus agentes. Y con ello, la forma en que los relatos de viaje portaban experiencias humanas otras que podían transformar las expectativas culturales europeas. Centro de Estudios Históricos Profesor Carlos S. A.
