Description

La obra de Sor Juana muestra un interés muy marcado por el saber y por la descripción de los procesos de adquisición de conocimiento y el desarrollo de la capacidad intelectual humana en un contexto muy particular; una sociedad colonial que intenta acceder a una serie de debates oficiales sobre la educación y modos de saber legítimos de la época. Esta obra estudia este tema en los escritos de Sor Juana en un deseo de contextualizar su tratamiento del conocimiento en una reflexión sobre el modo en que sus textos postulan la creación de una subjetividad intelectual femenina, colonial y americana.

Desde principios de siglo, la lectura epistemológica de Sor Juana ha interpretado a la autora y a su obra dentro del modelo de Descartes, Platón o Aristóteles pero su condición femenina y colonial ha sido completamente excluida del análisis, dejando a un lado uno de los aspectos fundamentales de estos textos: quién habla y qué estrategias utiliza para autorizarse. Estudios más recientes de varias autoras ya han comenzado a explorar el entrecruce entre la epistemología y la condición femenina. Al mismo tiempo, la reciente reconfiguración del campo de estudios coloniales ha desencadenado un enriquecimiento en los estudios de la escritura colonial. Esta obra pues, se centra en cómo el sujeto femenino, colonial y criollo intenta autorizarse para entrar en un discurso tradicionalmente masculino y eurocéntrico.

Sor Juana's work shows a very marked interest in knowledge and the description of the processes of knowledge acquisition and the development of human intellectual capacity in a very particular context; a colonial society that tries to access a series of official debates on education and legitimate ways of knowing of the time. This work studies this theme in Sor Juana's writings in a desire to contextualise her treatment of knowledge in a reflection on the way in which her texts postulate the creation of a female, colonial, and American intellectual subjectivity.

Since the beginning of the century, the epistemological reading of Sor Juana has interpreted the author and her work within the model of Descartes, Plato or Aristotle, but her feminine and colonial condition has been completely excluded from the analysis, leaving aside one of the fundamental aspects of these texts: who is speaking and what strategies they use to authorise themselves. More recent studies by various female authors have already begun to explore the intersection between epistemology and the female condition. At the same time, the recent reconfiguration of the field of colonial studies has triggered an enrichment in colonial writing studies. This work, then, focuses on how the female, colonial and Creole subject tries to authorise herself to enter a traditionally masculine and Eurocentric discourse.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
