Las obras de La Numancia, de Miguel de Cervantes, y Las dos Numancias, del mexicano Carlos Fuentes, reescriben estéticamente hechos históricos de modo que los inscriben en discursos nacionales que buscan afianzar su idea de continuidad y antigüedad. La destrucción de la ciudad y la fuerte carga evocativa del concepto de ruina, así como su utilización para la construcción de una historia de la nación, son la base de la que los escritores parten. A partir del tópico renacentista y barroco de la ruina y del concepto de la ruina arqueológica, podemos ver una forma simbólica en las “ruinas literarias” que proponen estos textos, en tanto que son vestigios de otro tiempo implementados de manera intencionadamente ideológica. La estrategia que utiliza Cervantes para referir la heroicidad del pueblo ibero en su obra trasciende al cuento del mexicano. Cervantes vincula el pasado prerromano y romano con la visión imperial de la España de su tiempo a través de la pieza teatral. Fuentes, por su parte, vincula la idea de una antigüedad clásica viva en América a través de su herencia por vía de España. Para Fuentes, son homologables las derrotas de Numancia y del pueblo mexicano, y es por ello que usa esta historia para desarrollar su cuento desde la visión del conquistador, el historiador y lo que a través de ellos se transmite al pueblo conquistado.
The Works Numancia, by Miguel de Cervantes, and Las dos Numancias, by the Mexican Carlos Fuentes, rewrite historic facts aesthetically in order to inscribe them into national discourses that intend to establish their own ideas of continuity and antiquity. The destruction of the city and the strong evocative charge of the concept of ruin, as well as its use in the construction of a national history, are the basis taken by both writers. From the topic of the ruin, both in Renaissance and Baroque, and the concept of the archeological ruin, we can see a symbolic form in the “literary ruins” proposed by these texts, in as much as they are vestiges from other times implemented in an intentionally ideological way. The strategy used by Cervantes to refer the heroism of the Iberian people in his work transcends to the short story written by the Mexican. Cervantes links the pre-Roman and Roman past with the imperial vision of the Spain of his time through his play. Fuentes, on the other hand, links the idea of a classical Antiquity alive in the Americas because of the heritage of that world via Spain. To Fuentes, the defeat of both Numancia and the Mexican people are homological, and for that reason he uses this story to develop his short story from the view of the conqueror, the historian, and what is transmitted by them to the vanquished.
