English Title. Pride, power and the body of a virreine in the diary of the Marquise of Las Amarillas. The Diario notable de la Excelentísima Señora Marquesa de las Amarillas, virreina de Mexico, desde el puerto de Cádiz hasta la referida Corte, escrito por un criado de Su Excelencia is an exceptional text within New Spain’s literary culture. It is not so decisive that his servant, Antonio Joaquín de Rivadeneyra Barrientos, turned the diary supposedly written by the Vicereine into verse as a prose draft or that he was its author directly, but what is extraordinary is that it is attributed to Rosario Ahumada y Vera, who appears as the leading poetic voice. The Diary is directly related to that of the Marquis of Villena, the first great of Spain to hold the position of viceroy, who in 1640 commissioned another diary of the transatlantic voyage. The objective of this work is to analyze in the text the symbology and the corporal metaphors that show the conscience in the performance of the status of vicereine, perceived as a duty and aristocratic privilege, throughout three passages that narrate the farewell of the place of origin, the hardness of the trip and the party in the reception. ​
