MORAES MEDINA, Mariana. To the rescue of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: Luisa Luisi in “Contemporáneos”. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2020, n.158, pp.251-266.  Epub 28-Fev-2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.158.2020.579.

The publication of an essay by the Uruguayan poet and critic Luisa Luisi in the Contemporáneos journal has been referred to as one of the concrete results of post-revolutionary Mexico´s cultural diplomacy in the Río de la Plata. However, Luisi’s text itself -a passionate look at Juana Ines de la Cruz’ biographical and intellectual career and a rebuttal of the masculine readings of her work- has not received the attention of literary criticism. The objective of this article is to analyze the above mentioned essay in the light of Luisi´s intellectual and biographical career, trying to account for her strategies of appropriation developed around the figure of Sor Juana. In this discursive operation, tensions regarding to the legitimization of women in the scriptural space are perceiveid, in particular, in that of literary criticism, as the literary system´s rational terrain reserved for men. This article could represent a contribution to the study of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz’ reception in Rio de la Plata, as well as to furthering the study of Luisa Luisi´s work.
