La ciudad letrada en sus diagonales : una lectura descentrada de dos poemas de Sor Juana

Abstract

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 letradosrelate 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 Urugua-yan 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.
