Malinche y sor Juana en el tercer lugar

Abstract

Through the concept of Thirdspace, thought by critics like Bhabha, Simmel and Santiago and geographers like Soja, this work intends to establish links between two distinctive characters of Mexican culture like sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Malinche. An analysis that starts in this concept will allow us to think the relationships that these women had with their environments, how they were seen and what critical operations were and are made on them. This article proposes to study them as characters, somehow created and recreated constantly by their contemporaries and the critic, because we consider that their centrality in Mexican culture and their contribution to the idea of what is “Mexican” derives from the fact that they inhabited true third spaces.
