File margins. Editorial story of a riot

Abstract

The work of Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (1645-1700) can be distinguished as a literature whose form does not find its style. That is why its style, over the centuries, has destabilized its impression (ecdotic and critical), raising questions that still await answers today. That is exactly what appears and tells Alboroto y motín de los indios de México: in its writing, in the readings of which it was the subject, in the figure of writing that its projects and, especially, since its first printing in 1929. That is also what shows the “impact of editing”, that critical problem.
