Abstract

FUMAGALLI, Carla Anabella. The Lettered City in its Diagonals: an Off-Center Reading of Two Poems by Sor Juana. Latinoamérica [online]. 2019, n.68, pp.69-89. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2019.68.57069.

Angel Rama’s book, La ciudad letrada of 1984 has brought forward numerous articles and essays since its publication. In it, the critic proposes a way in which Latin American letrados relate to the circles of power, and through it, a cartography of Latin American cities. In this article we will approach the manner in which sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s poetry is treated by the Uruguayan in his book and analyze it according to the representation of bonds with the circles of power in the dedication to the vicereine and the prologue for the reader from 1689 and 1690 respectively.

Keywords : Lettered City; Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz; Legitimation; Paratexte.
