Es tambi&eacute;n un discurso del per&iacute;odo colonial que ha llegado hasta el siglo XX, gracias al trabajo de apropiaci&oacute;n y revitalizaci&oacute;n hecha por recuperadores del siglo XVI que, en un momento determinado de sus historias literarias, lo incorporaron a la estructura cultural que dominaba en su &eacute;poca. El Bailete del G&uuml;eg&uuml;ence o Macho Rat&oacute;n pone en escena una cr&iacute;tica a la administraci&oacute;n colonial a trav&eacute;s de unos personajes, acci&oacute;n, expresi&oacute;n e intenci&oacute;n farsesca y sat&iacute;rica. La cr&iacute;tica de El Bailete del G&uuml;eg&uuml;ence o Macho Rat&oacute;n apunta a una sociedad en la cual sus gobernantes hacen 'uso y abuso de su autoridad'.</p><p>Al parecer, el car&aacute;cter farsesco y sat&iacute;rico de la obra impidi&oacute; la aplicaci&oacute;n de la censura. A diferencia de los Entremeses, el Bailete del G&uuml;eg&uuml;ence o Macho Rat&oacute;n incorpora como personaje principal a un ingenioso nativo, tal vez criollo, que propone como forma de resistir al poder de la autoridad colonial, la estrategia de "hacerse el sordo", la burla, los equ&iacute;vocos discursivos y, en general, la vida festiva.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Bailete de G&uuml;eg&uuml;ence" or "Macho Rat&oacute;n" is a play whose origins date back to its N&aacute;huatle culture of the I 6'h Century, approximately. It is also a colonial period discourse come to the XX Century through the work of appropiation and revitalization undertaken by experts in the I61h Century, which, at a determinate moment in their literary histories, incorporated it to the cultural structure deminating in their own epoch.</p><p>This play stages a criticisim of colonial administration through ome characters, dramatic action, expression, and farcical and sat&iacute;rical slant. The criticicim in the play points to a society in which its governors make use and abuse of their authority. The satirical and farcical character of this work seems to have prevented the application of censorship. Differing from the "Entremeses", "Bailete or Macho Rat&oacute;n" has as principal character an astute native, perhaps a 'criollo', who in order to resist the power of colonial authority, propases a strategy of pretended deafness, mockery, discursive misunderstandings, and in general, the festive life.</p> ER -
