Collection of essays on the Inquisition in New Spain, seen from a historical and literary perspective. From the rescue and analysis of numerous documents, the author shows the importance that the inquisitorial institution granted to discursive practices as instruments of domination; addresses sexual transgression and eroticism as one of the most obsessed persecuted crimes and traces and analyzes the diverse functions of the Jesuit Antonio Núñez de Miranda, confessor of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, within the Holy Office of New Spain.
