| Sumario: | A widespread topic in the emblem culture of the Modern Age and a personal symbol of such relevant figures as painter Tiziano Vecellio, the image of the she-bear patiently giving shape with her tongue to the amorphous mass that, according to an extensive literary tradition, newborn cubs display, has been analyzed in various literary contexts and from different perspectives. However, we believe that this this topic deserved a comprehensive examination, one that would trace its textual and visual trajectory from its origins and would assess its impact on modern culture in general and in the context of the moralizing naturalism of Hispanic baroque culture, in particular. It is in this background that the topic is consolidated as an image of the conceptual dichotomy persuasion/perfection throughout the various settings in which the symbol is used. |
