Quipucamayoc deals with the Spanish Conquest and the fall of the Inca empire, as translated into the language of the Conquistadores. Inspired by Nathan Wachtel's Vision of the Vanquished, it highlights native sources as a counter-narrative. It addresses the conflict between languages and cultures (Terracini), between writing systems (Goody), translation, and the preservation of memory. This theme is further developed in Pianeti Proibiti.
