La Rusticatio Mexicana y su relación con las reformas borbónicas

Abstract

This research analyzes the Mexican Rusticatio of the former Guatemalan Jesuit Rafael Landívar, through its understanding as a political document. Likewise, it explores the relations of the text with history, which allow it to be read as a Spanish political, economic and nationalist project, conceived by a Creole and proposed, for its realization, to the sovereign power of the Spanish Crown. This work seeks the right to express himself in a broader public sphere and with a linguistic tool, Latin, which allows him to access the European intellectual environment, inside and outside the circuit of the elites of the Spanish empire.
