Abstract

This article seeks to give account of two areas of enunciation in relation to the female body in one of the most distinctive illustrated newspapers of late-colonial Peru: Mercurio Peruano de historia, literatura y noticias públicas. It proposes to address maternity and transvestism as two places of proper enunciative ideologues of what has come to be referred as enlightened modernity and that we have preferred to denominate and connote here, in a preliminary way,enlightened coloniality.
