Under the concept parameters of Michel de Certeau, this text introduces the hagiography of the Clarissa sister Joanna Maria de San Esteban. This research was carried out in the private iles of the Saint Clare Convent, where the Collection of the example of life of Joanna de San Esteban was found. This is an unpublished work from the end of the century XVIIIth (1790) written by presbyter Martin Palacios Galán. One of the central questions that this interpretation of Joanna’s biography approaches, allowed me to discover why it was important, in that time, to narrate an exemplifying religious model life that, as the hagiographic text states, was falling into disuse. New winds blow at the end of the XVIIIth century in overseas lands coming from the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the borbonic policies from Charles III, whose most convincing efect in the religious ield was the expulsion of Jesuits. In the cultural ield, it consisted of new scriptural and pictorical texts written in the New Granada. Their production contexts and circulation, changed remarkably as we can observe in the production of images for the Royal Botanical Expedition and in the issuing of newspaper articles. We can obtain more information about Joanna de San Esteban (1642-1708) in the book De la Ejemplar Vida y Muerte Dichosa de Doña Francisca Zorilla (Example of Life and joyful death of Doña Francisca Zorilla), written by her father, Gabriel álvarez de Velasco, when he talks about his mother, who is also a remarkable woman. Joanna had a Jesuit brother, father Gabriel Alvarez de Velasco y Zorilla. The key issue of this document is to trace how and ANáLISIS No. 79 106 why an extinct barroc subject model is built and what is its social function as a historical document. We will certainly not know about its “real life” in spite of knowing its “idealistic” image and unfortunate portrait drawn by an inexperienced hand. |
