The Indian Chronicles do not deal with this character in detail and they only mention his resistance during the war and his imprisonment, surrender and murder, from a perspective which differs among texts. This time, I focus on the representation of Cuauhtemoc in the novohispanic half-blooded chronicles written by Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxóchitl, Bernardino de Sahagún, Diego Durán, Cristóbal del Castillo, Domingo Francisco Chimalpahin, among others, to analyze the different enunciative positionings which explain the argumentative condition of the texts that retell the fall of Tenochtitlan and its protagonists. This contrastive analysis intends to highlight and make visible the implications and complexities of the colonial subject as well as the silence that surrounds the key figures of the history of the conquest and their discursive representations. En el presente artículo me ocupo de un personaje de relevancia para la historia y conquista de América, el guerrero tenochca Cuauhtemoc, conocido como el último tlatoque mexica y famoso por resistir el embate de los conquistadores durante el asedio de México. Las crónicas de Indias se ocupan escasa y ambiguamente de dicha figura y aluden, en particular, a la resistencia durante la guerra en Tenochtitlan, su apresamiento, rendición y asesinato, desde una perspectiva que difiere entre textos. En esta oportunidad, me centro en la representación de Cuauhtemoc en las crónicas mestizas novohispanas compuestas por Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxóchitl, Bernardino de Sahagún, Diego Durán, Cristóbal del Castillo, Domingo Francisco Chimalpahin, entre otras, para analizar los distintos posicionamientos enunciativos que dan cuenta de la condición argumentativa de los textos que relatan la caída de Tenochtitlan y sus protagonistas. Este enfoque contrastivo intenta visibilizar las implicancias y complejidades del sujeto colonial así como los silencios en torno a figuras clave de la historia de la conquista y sus representaciones discursivas.
