SUMMARY:

A broad debate on the moral and intellectual capacities of women broke out in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages. The Querelle des femmes calls into question the relative superiority or inferiority of the sexes and is the central theme of this research. Na example of how the quarrel took place outside the European context can be seen in the controversy involving two famous figures of colonial Mexico:Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) and Father Antonio Vieira (1608-1697). This famous controversy began after the publication of a text written by Juana Inés in which she criticized a sermon given by Father Antônio Vieira. The text inflamed a conflict that took place in the religious pulpit and was caused by a power struggle between clerical authorities who dominated the intellectual scene in New Spain. From this perspective, this research intends to analyze two texts that highlight the Querelle des Femmes: the Respuesta a Sor Filotea de la Cruz (1692), by Juana Inés, in which she presents a list of intellectual women to declare their right to write, and the Apologia a favor do Reverendo P. Antônio Vieyra da Companhia de Jesus da Província de Portugal (1727), written by a cleric in Portugal in defense of Antônio Vieira. In addition, considering the subject of sexual politics, we intend to reflect on how Juana articulates a conscience in a tradition of feminist debates and inserts herself into the intellectual discourses of her time, demonstrating the fragility of the power of the hegemonic ecclesiastical elites of New Spain.
