Constructing the Criollo Archive : Subjects of Knowledge in the ""Bibliotheca Mexicana"" and the ""Rusticano Mexicana Hardback

Part of the Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures series

Hardback

Description

This book constitutes an attempt to theorize the process of the emergence, in eighteenth-century New Spain, of a position of intellectual subjectivity differentiated from that established by the regime of Spanish imperial authority.

The principal concern has been to trace how certain groups of criollo intellectuals try to construct such discourses, paradoxically, out of the framework of available European systems of knowledge and representation.

In this fashion, it was sought to discern the outline of an ideological program for criollo political and cultural hegemony in the eighteenth century
