The relaciones de méritos y servicios are a category of Spanish colonial texts in which the writer would produce biographical accounts of service to Spain in hopes of state favor. In this work, Folger (Spanish, Utrecht U., the Netherlands) applies Louis Althusser's notion of "interpellation" (the process through which ideology produces the subject) and Michel de Certeau's concept of "tactics" (the means by which individuals navigate the "strategies" produced by structures of power) to readings of this genre in order to show how some authors "poached" from cultural spheres of natural and moral philosophy and historiography in order to tactically engage with the normalizing thrust of bureaucracy by bypassing officialdom in preference for the subject. This practice, he contends, portends the emergence of novelistic discourse and hence modern forms of literature. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
