Abstract
Given the scarcity of contextual analyzes that point to the understanding of power in the Latin American environment from the region’s own literary subgenres, the present research studies this conception in the work Yo el Supremo, an outstanding piece of Latin American narrative and cusp of Dictator Novel. For this purpose, the literary and historical records that contextualize the narrative are analyzed. After the hermeneutical analysis of both records, power is determined as the ability to generate historical-discursive realities in the construction of historical characters, in this case the dictator José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. The reading of I the Supreme warns us about the complexity involved in the study of power in Latin American dictatorial figures within the social tissue and political life of its nations.
