The poetic work of Ecuadorian José Joaquín de Olmedo and Spanish Manuel José Quintana pretend to represent the political and institutional crisis that the Andean area was going through in its transit from viceroyalty to republic as well as the peninsula in its attempt to regain political sovereignty after the Napoleonic invasion. Furthermore, by being participants, in their capacities as deputy and political journalist,respectively, during one of the founding moments in the legal organization of Hispanic American nations: the Cortes de Cádiz, it is necessary to approach their poetic projects from another perspective. In addition, both coincide in proposing scenarios that move from the old regime to the liberal system by introducing seminars that aspire to reproduce, in the first instance, a theologicalpolitical discourse that directed the social andcultural imaginaries for, in a seco...

La obra, prácticamente desconocida, del periodista trujillano Trinidad Manuel Pérez ha debido someterse al olvido por parte de la crítica literaria; sin embargo, esta contiene elementos innovadores como la inserción de nuevos sujetos: artesanos, culíes, bandoleros, mujeres lectoras. Nuestra intención es analizar sus piezas dramáticas El emigrado español (1859) y La industria y el poder (1862), así como su novela inconclusa Nurerdín-Kan (1872), primera producción que registra la inmigración de los chinos al Perú a fin de reivindicar las luchas sociales y el protagonismo de las clases menos favorecidas a partir de la incorporación de las renovadoras ideas liberales.

The Hispanic-American novels of the 19th century have as their central theme the representation of national characters related to the interpretation of European readers. For this reason, they respond to Eurocentric patriarchal models that exclude foreign biotypes. In this sense, the novel Sab, by the Cuban Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, published in years when the island was one of the remnants of the Spanish empire, incorporates an exotic vision of non-European characters, considering them as agents of an eminent modernization and uses a slave as a prototype of subalternity as opposed to the civilized white masters. Therefore, we propose to demonstrate how the story maintains the patriarchal and patrimonial canons of the Cuban nation by legitimizing white male hegemony to favor the afrodescendant subalternity.

La obra poética de Octavio Paz fusiona la tradición mesoamericana, anterior a la conquista europea, con la cultura asiática —especialmente india, china y japonesa—. Se trata, por ello, de un aporte valioso para el encuentro de aquellas voces que, a pesar de las distancias continentales, reflejan cierta semejanza en las construcciones mítica y erótica del discurso poético. El autor mexicano supo fundar un universo poético que recogía ambas tradiciones, aunque sin fusionarlas, lo que constituye una aproximación a dos culturas aparentemente disímiles para hallar las fuentes fundacionales de los mundos náhuatl y chino. Para analizar esta propuesta, nos enfocamos, por un lado, en la teoría retórica y discursiva de Arduini con respecto al uso retórico de las figuras literarias tradicionales, y, por otro lado, en la propuesta de Lakoff y Johnson para las metáforas de uso coti...

Political poetry written during the crisis of the monarchical system and the subsequent independence has not received sufficient attention from literary critics. For this reason, this study examines one of the last examples of poems of circumstances on the occasion of the accession of Viceroy Fernando de Abascal. The use of classical mythology and the festive apparatus that celebrates the king as the centerpiece of the empire are the motifs that stand out in the first production of the Guayaquil poet José Joaquín de Olmedo. It should be noted, however, that before the political crisis produced in the peninsula in 1808, due to the Napoleonic invasion of Spain, the first revolutionary ideals officially appeared on the scene. Therefore, this paper argues that these productions attempt to legitimize the defense of imperial space and the sustainability of the regime in the early years of th...
