Terukina ofrece una nueva biografÃa de Bernardo de Balbuena y analiza la compleja matriz interdisciplinaria de Grandeza mexicana (1604).
Terukina offers an updated biography of Bernardo de Balbuena and analyzes the complex interdisciplinary matrix within which Grandeza mexicana (1604) is articulated. En contraste con la normativa lectura criollista y proto-nacionalista de Grandeza mexicana (1604), El imperio de la virtud analiza el texto de Bernardo de Balbuena en un contexto atlántico y propone interpretarlo como una defensa del derecho natural de los inmigrantes peninsulares a gobernar la Nueva España.

En contraste con la normativa lectura criollista y proto-nacionalista de Grandeza mexicana (1604), El imperio de la virtud analiza el texto de Bernardo de Balbuena en un contexto atlántico y propone interpretarlo como una defensa del derecho natural de los inmigrantes peninsulares a gobernar la Nueva España.
Además de ofrecer una actualizada y documentada biografÃa de Balbuena que nos recuerda sus lazos con la penÃnsula ibérica, el libroreconstruye las olvidadas tradiciones retórica, cientÃfica, geopolÃtica y económica que articulan Grandeza mexicana. Gracias a ello, la obra presenta este elogio de la capital virreinal como un posicionamiento polÃtico en favorde peninsulares como el propio Balbuena, supuestos poseedores de las virtudes morales e intelectuales necesarias para gobernar espiritual y temporalmente el virreinato novohispano, y en desmedro de los moralmente deficientes criollos y los salvajes indÃgenas.
El imperio de la virtud nos invita a reconsiderar el lugar que Balbuena y Grandeza mexicana ocupan en el acervo cultural mexicano. Jorge L. Terukina Yamauchi es docente e investigador de Estudios Hispánicos en el College of William and Mary. Against the normative proto-Mexican and criollista reading of Grandeza mexicana (1604), El imperio de la virtud positions Bernardo de Balbuena's work in an Atlantic context and hence interprets it as a political assertion of the natural right of peninsular émigrés to rule New Spain.
The book offers an updated biography of Balbuena that reminds us of his ties tothe Iberian Peninsula, and traces the pre-modern rhetorical, scientific, geopolitical, and economic paradigms upon which Grandeza mexicana is designed. Thus, the work analyzes Balbuena's encomium of Mexico City as a political prise de position in favor of peninsular émigrés like Balbuena himself, who are allegedly endowed with the moral and intellectual virtues needed to direct the spiritual and temporal life of the viceroyalty, and against the morally deficient criollos and the barbaric Indians.
El imperio de la virtud invites us to reassess the role that Balbuena and Grandeza mexicana play in the cultural history of present-day Mexico. Jorge L. Terukina Yamauchi is Assistant Professor in Hispanic Studies at the College of William and Mary.
