THE MANY COMPLEX PROBLEMS surrounding the related concepts of identity and subjectivity continue to be the focus of much critical thought and have been very close to the center of debate in Spanish Golden-Age studies for more than thirty years. One fine example of this concern is George Mariscal's Contradictory Subjects: Quevedo, Cervantes, and Seventeenth-Century Spanish Culture (1991). This insightful study of the discursive construction of subjectivity provides the following notion that will serve as a fundamental assumption throughout this essay: ... the subject is constituted by multiple and often contradictory subject positions and thus is always only a provisionally fixed entity located at various sites within the general relations of production, systems of signification, and relations of power .... early modern culture produced subjects through a wide range of discourses and practices ... to view any of these as autonomous and originary is to efface the ways in which the construct of the individual was emerging from competition between discourses and was being constituted within writing itself.
