La mujer española y el discurso moralista en Nueva España (s. XVI- XVII)
In New Spain, the moralists, in spite of their peninsular or creole origin, focused their arguments on the minority group which was most likely to be subject of prejudice: the women.

Una vez consolidada la conquista, tanto la Corona como la Iglesia trataron de difundir entre las nuevas sociedades una serie de valores morales y religiosos que permitieran transmitir la identidad española y católica al otro lado del Atlántico, especialmente entre sus grupos de poder, ayudando a perpetuar el vínculo cultural y político entre ambas partes. Los moralistas que ejercieron su labor en Nueva España, independientemente de su origen peninsular o criollo, concentraron sus ataques en el grupo de población que reunía más prejuicios, las mujeres. La unión entre lo público y lo privado daba una especial relevancia a la naturaleza débil del sexo femenino, ya que sus excesos podían conducir a la decadencia política del reino. Gracias a las obras de estos religiosos podemos descubrir cual fue el modelo patriarcal que se estableció para las mujeres y, a través de sus críticas, cómo éste paradigma pudo, en ocasiones, matizarse y transgredirse en la práctica. Los requerimientos fueron dirigidos fundamentalmente en dos direcciones: la defensa del enclaustramiento femenino frente a la ociosidad de las damas criollas, censurando las fiestas, el concurrir a comedias, o la asistencia a misa para “ver y dejarse ver”; y la condena del lujo y la ostentación entre los grupos privilegiados. |
