President don Joseph García de León y Pizarro addressed the ministers and their functionaries to explain his vision of sovereignty, the state, and juridical rule. He valued the speech so much that he ordered the city's printer to publish the text as a pamphlet, the Discurso elocuente pronunciado en la renovación del Tribunal de la Real Audiencia. This article accepts García de León's assertion of the speech's importance. It provides a symptomatic reading of the pamphlet, attentive to its evocative and metaphorical language of violence and monstrosity in a demand for obedience in the judicial bureaucracy and argues that García de León's admonition to obedience inadvertently revealed the erosion of the pillars of a symbolic order that structured colonial rule for generations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Colonial Latin American Review is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
