As an amateur writer, his use of the printing press and his entering the book market were remarkably free of economic reasons.

Indeed, the inventio of Cervantean composition derives from the Horatian dictum \"ut pictura poesis\" (Ad Pis., 361), applied to the topic of Deus pictor, but the originality of the laudatio is that does not remark platitudes of the Franciscan hagiography but that urges the saint as a pictura traced by ars divina and, by extension, as a microcosmic imago of Christ. In this paper we focus on the elocutive analysis of the poem, and we try to demonstrate his rhetorical design. The pictorial vocabulary is also related to several texts of the Augustinian Fray Luis de León, whose presence in the poem is postulated as a hypothesis. In the sonnet, in brief, \"la historia, la poesía y la pintura simbolizan entre sí\" (Persiles, III, 14).RESUMEN:Entre las composiciones poéticas dedicadas a san Francisco de Asís en el Jardín espiritual (1585) del carmelita linarense fray Pedro de Padilla, figura, como es sabido, un soneto de Miguel de Cervantes (\"Muestra su ingenio el que es pintor curioso\") que apenas ha sido abordado desde una perspectiva pictórica. En efecto, la inventio de la composición cervantina deriva del dictum horaciano \"ut pictura poesis\" (Ad Pis., 361), aplicado al tópico del Deus pictor, pero la originalidad de la laudatio radica en que no glosa lugares comunes de la hagiografía franciscana sino en que encarece al santo en tanto que pictura trazada por una ars divina y, por extensión, como imago microcósmica de Cristo. En esta contribución nos centramos en un análisis elocutivo del poema que intenta demostrar su diseño retórico. Asimismo, se relaciona el léxico pictórico con varios textos del agustino fray Luis de León, cuya presencia en el poema se postula como hipótesis.

After clarifying Góngora's words, I argue that his implied reader recognizes black talk as an invitation to laughter at and derision of black Africans. The study then focuses specifically on black oppression related to literary composition and shows how Góngora's sonnet affirms exclusivity for white male authors. To this end, I establish parallels between Góngora's sonnet and writing by and about Juan Latino, the sixteenth-century black author of epic poetry in Latin who challenged white authorial exclusivity and became a frequently invoked exception to the rule as well as a target for racist stereotyping.RESUMEN:Este artículo interpreta y contextualiza el soneto burlesco \"A la Jerusalén conquistada que compuso Lope de Vega\", en que Góngora se sirve del habla de negros. Una traducción al inglés revela el sentido: un lector negro critica la epopeya de Lope y se refiere a un poema épico de autor africano superior a la Jerusalén. A continuación, la discusión propone que el lector implícito reconoce el habla de negros como invitación a la risa burlona dirigida al negro africano. Finalmente, el estudio se enfoca en la opresión del negro en el contexto de la producción literaria y demuestra cómo el soneto de Góngora apoya la exclusividad para el autor blanco. El poema logra este fin a través de unos paralelismos oportunos al fenómeno histórico de Juan Latino, autor negro de una epopeya latina de finales del siglo XVI, quien llegó a representar la excepción que confirma la regla además de ser objeto de ataques racistas.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84197856","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}

Her poems gender the landscape of Bussaco as feminine by invoking the founding mother of the order, cataloging the flora and fauna and thereby emphasizing the fertility of the place, personifying the hillside as female, and alluding to the Song of Songs, thus making Bussaco both the Soul and the setting of the mystical union.

A pesar de que una bula papal impidió que las mujeres entraran en Bussaco, a través de sus poemas, Lacerda les revela el espacio prohibido a las monjas del Convento de Santo Alberto de Lisboa, a quienes dedica su libro. Sus poemas transforman el género del paisaje de Bussaco en femenino al invocar a la fundadora de la orden, catalogar la flora y fauna y así enfatizar la fertilidad del lugar, personificar el monte como mujer y aludir al Cantar de los cantares, de este modo haciendo de Bussaco tanto el Alma como el escenario de la unión mística.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80091489","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}

This essay locates the inception of her fight in her first suite of villancicos from 1676 written in honor of the Assumption of Mary. In this suite Sor Juana inaugurates her own Marian sapiential theology. In her theology Sor Juana most often juxtaposes herself to the female figures of Wisdom and the Virgin Mary. She makes the Virgin Mary embody Wisdom and also makes her a doctor of theology. In doing the latter, she imprints her own situation upon the work since she too was a theologian—at least in practice. Nonetheless, to dissolve any hints of heresy, she defines wisdom as a divine attribute and knowledge as an acquired understanding. Overall, Sor Juana uses herself and the two most important female figures of Christianity to project the image of an intelligent woman in Mexico’s cathedral and thus validates the case for women’s rights to education. RESUMEN: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz luchó por el acceso a la educación de la mujer y el reconocimiento público de su inteligencia. Este ensayo localiza la matrix de esta lucha en su primera suite de villancicos de 1676 dedicados a la Asunción de María. En esta suite sor Juana despliega el germen de su teología marianista y sapiencial al yuxtaponer sobre sí misma, las figuras de la Virgen María y la Sabiduría. Sor Juana hace que la figura mariana encarne a la Sabiduría y a una doctora en teología y al hacer esto, se inscribe en el texto en tanto ella era también una teóloga, al menos en la práctica. Sin embargo, para evitar toda herejía, sor Juana delimita las fronteras entre lo humano y lo divino al considerar la sabiduría cualidad divina y el conocimiento producto adquirido. Al proyectar la imagen de la mujer letrada en la catedral metropolitana, sor Juana busca acostumbrar a la feligresía y al clero a ver a las mujeres como seres inteligentes y validar así su reclamo a la educación de la mujer.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84843524","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}

María de San José’s verses portray the daily life, interests, obstacles to, and methodologies of the new Discalced Carmelite convents. Dramatically representing joy and challenges, internal and external, her poems convey a militant defense of her spiritual mother’s reform. Less elaborated than María de San José’s, Ana de San Bartolomé’s extant poems reflect sixteenth-century cultural expression in its broadest sense. She expresses the Discalced Carmelite concern with an intimate relationship with the divinity and the desire to inculcate the reformed Order’s way of life. Her verses elaborate a mystical bent, as well as a profound sense of monastic community.
