Abstract
[Resumen] En el siguiente artículo se analizan las autobiografías confesionales de los siglos XVI y XVII, específicamente las de Alonso de Orozco, Pedro de Ribadeneira y Juan de Palafox y Mendoza. Estos autobiógrafos vinculan sus textos desde el principio con las Confesiones de San Agustín; sin embargo, conforme uno va leyendo las obras, se evidencian las relaciones con la hagiografía medieval y las vidas de santos. En una línea algo diferente que la de las autobiografías conventuales escritas por monjas, estos autobiógrafos poseen una intención de autorreivindicación y de crear una imagen de santidad de sí mismos. Asimismo, esto lleva a discutir el hibridismo entre tradiciones en un subgénero como el de la autobiografía confesional, apenas estudiado por parte de la crítica.

In a somewhat different vein than convent autobiographies written by nuns, these autobiographers possess an intention of self-vindication and of creating an image of sanctity for themselves. This also leads to a discussion about the hybridism between traditions in a sub-genre such as the confessional autobiography, which has hardly been studied by the specialists.
