Abstract
This work studies the literary topos of the Cornucopia in a Colombian national patrimony monument - the Heroic Poem to San Ignacio de Loyola from the Jesuit Creole Hernando Domínguez Camargo - This epic-hagiographic poem display a few death natures of natural abundance that shows a veiled reference to the marginalized ethnic groups that composed the colonial society. This study identifies the specific Creole character of this representation, showing that these scenes celebrate on the one hand the pre-Columbian native and by the other deny the rights and powers of their descendents in the seventieth century, which offers a cultural synthesis model that, prefigure certain discrimination politics that still continues today in Colombia.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
