From generalized depictions of poems as children (born of the poet directly or of the poet’s soul or wit) to metaphors of hurried or badly written poems as premature births, abortions or miscarriages, ideas of poetic creation often turn to the bodily. The comparisons to childbirth, I suggest, highlight the efforts of writing and claims to literary lineage, while laments of “abortos” (found in Sor Juana, Juan de Jáuregui, and Cristóbal Suárez de Figueroa) evoke the challenges of polishing a poem to perfection and dangers of sending it into the world too soon. Moreover, assessments of good and bad poetry often draw on the language of health and proper bodily proportions. A weak poem might be simply “desmayado,” as Cervantes criticizes twice in the Viaje del Parnaso , but it could also, more graphically, have bodily defects. These deformities could be congenital or acquired due to detrimental edits. For instance, Gabriel Lobo Lasso de la Vega complains that others printed versions of his romances so changed that “unos vienen patituertos.” Even if the idea of the poem as body was commonplace, the specifics of its anatomy and health offered handy tools for criticism and for rendering theory more concrete. Bodily metaphors were hardly limited to poetics, but I find their use in these contexts especially interesting precisely because poems often differed from whole “cuerpos de libros” in terms of circulation and physical heft. of limeño literary scene. the of the on the dynamics of classical culture of the transatlantic book trade stage an intriguing gender(ed) performance designed to on both sides of the Atlantic thematise the transatlantic dynamic itself. reinscribing the possibility of a non-female Discurso us about the literary dynamics of the global Iberian world. This paper examines the poetic language of Soledades and explores how it incorporates the practices of silversmithing and jewelry production. By relating the materiality of Góngora’s language to the material environment of luxury at the court since the sixteenth century, this paper demonstrates how craftsmanship is embedded in the creation of Soledades . At the same time, by turning to Góngora’s commentators such as Martín Vázquez Siruela, author of “Discurso sobre el estilo de don Luis de Góngora” and an enthusiastic antiquarian, I will show how the poet’s seventeenth-century critics interpreted his works as an exquisite craft. Moreover, this paper echoes the discussion on whether the genre of Soledades is bucolic or epic. While Mercedes Blanco has convincingly explained the cultural obsession with epic and the poet’s intention to emulate Tasso, I choose to reconsider the pastoral poetics in Soledades . I argue that the bucolic since Virgil is a mixed genre characterized by exploring language's materiality.

Such comparisons have tended to hinge on the question of which of the two colonial Spanish-American writers was more “modern” versus “traditional.” Such valuative contrasts between Sor Juana and Sigüenza y Góngora implicitly evoke a commonplace but erroneous historical narrative that privileges the advent of modern science at the expense of poetry and myth. It is by acknowledging the shared affective goal of myth and early modern science in regulating human fears of natural forces, as Hans Blumenberg has done, that scholars can better assess the enduring function of Neptune for a poet like Sor Juana in an Age of Enlightenment. This reappraisal of myth’s function permits in turn a more dialogic reading of Sor Juana and Sigüenza y Góngora’s respective arches and their shared Neptunian response to the debates that raged in seventeenth-century Mexico City over flood control efforts and the value of indigenous hydraulic knowledge. In this reading, Neptune represents a European mythographic discourse of power over nature that serves to both assuage criollo fears of flooding while also displacing the challenge posed by indigenous hydraulic knowledge to Spanish intellectual hegemony in New Spain in part by replacing the Mexica god Tlaloc with Neptune.RESUMEN:Se han notado grandes diferencias entre sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora en sus respuestas a la llegada en Nueva España de tanto un gran cometa como un nuevo virrey en 1680. Tales comparaciones entre los dos autores coloniales suelen implicar la valorización de uno como más “moderno” que el otro denominado más “tradicional.” Estos contrastes se basan en una narrativa histórica común pero equívoca que privilegia el ascenso de la ciencia moderna sobre la función intelectual de la poesía y los mitos. Es al reconocer la meta colectiva de tanto la ciencia como los mitos de modular el miedo humano de las fuerzas naturales, como indica Hans Blumenberg, que se puede mejor entender la función del dios Neptuno para sor Juana. Una reevaluación de la función de los mitos permite una lectura más dialógica de los arcos triunfales de Sor Juana y Sigüenza y Góngora y su compartida respuesta neptuniana a los debates del siglo XVII sobre la prevención de inundaciones y el valor del conocimiento hidráulico del pueblo indígena mexicano. En esta lectura, Neptuno representa un discurso mitográfico europeo de poder sobre la naturaleza que alivia el miedo de las inundaciones a la vez que desplaza la amenaza del conocimiento hidráulico indígena para la hegemonía intelectual española al remplazar el dios mexica Tlaloc con Neptuno.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":"36 1","pages":"159 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79878965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
