Mujer insurgente, probablemente cult\u00edsima y, en definitiva, pecaminosamente aut\u00f3noma para su \u00e9poca, su nombre resulta una cachetada para la Historia, escrita por los vencedores y los hombres. \u00bfO cu\u00e1ntas mujeres es capaz de citar como relevantes figuras del pasado pol\u00edtico, tan siquiera, de nuestro pa\u00eds? Por supuesto, Josefa Ortiz de Dom\u00ednguez es la respuesta por default, y si forzamos un poquito la memoria, quiz\u00e1s nos venga a la memoria la incendiaria Leona Vicario o la p\u00edcara G\u00fcera Rodr\u00edguez. Y entre \u00e9stas, el escritor Roberto Peredo se ha empe\u00f1ado en rescatar de las profundidades del olvido a Mar\u00eda Teresa.<br \/>\nA trav\u00e9s de continuos saltos en el tiempo, Roberto Peredo traza la biograf\u00eda de la familia De Medina y Garc\u00eda de Sotomayor, comerciantes en continuo tr\u00e1nsito entre el puerto de Veracruz y la villa de Jalapa, donde su sexta hija nace en 1773, sin saber que ha llegado al mundo para cruzar umbrales que otras mujeres nunca ver\u00e1n frente a s\u00ed.<br \/>\nA partir de dicha fecha, presenciamos el crecimiento de Mar\u00eda Teresa entre los libros de los grandes pensadores franceses, los susurros de su entra\u00f1able nana negra y la tierna devoci\u00f3n de su padre que le cuenta que ha tra\u00eddo la neblina a Jalapa. Y la ni\u00f1a, inocente, guarda en el bolsillo de su vestido lo inguardable: un pedacito de nube.<br \/>\nNo ser\u00e1 aqu\u00e9lla la \u00fanica vez que Mar\u00eda Teresa, de acuerdo con Peredo, se apropie del aire. Hacia 1791, cuando ya se presente como una se\u00f1orita, su mirada se posar\u00e1 en un joven oficial de la Corona: Manuel de la Sota Riva, con quien la historia de amor inicia. Manuel, siendo un criollo en un tiempo en que \u00e9stos no obten\u00edan permiso para casarse con las criollas, desplazados por los peninsulares reci\u00e9n llegados a la Nueva Espa\u00f1a, se aventura a regalarle a la joven De Medina y Miranda un par de cenzontles que s\u00f3lo ser\u00e1n el inicio de su espl\u00e9ndida colecci\u00f3n de aves. De la Sota Riva no s\u00f3lo se atreve a aspirar, sino a triunfar en el casamiento y a atesorar a su joven esposa, incluso cuando \u00e9sta se inclina a alimentar el germen de la Independencia mientras \u00e9l consigue escalar en la jerarqu\u00eda militar gracias a su lealtad a la Corona.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Xalapa: ciudad literaria<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cNombra una novela cuya historia transcurra en tu ciudad\u201d. El tuit fue f\u00e1cilmente citado por los habitantes de la Ciudad de M\u00e9xico, pero los xalape\u00f1os nos quedamos congelados, sopesando la respuesta: \u00bf\u201cOtilia Rauda\u201d? \u00a1Tiene un par de escenas en Xalapa, al igual que \u201cLa mujer que quiso ser dios\u201d! Sin olvidar, claro, \u201cPolvos de arroz\u201d, novela localizada a medias en Xalapa y en M\u00e9xico.<br \/>\nEs cierto que \u201cEl Umbral\u201d no tiene como \u00fanico escenario la entonces Jalapa (con esa jota ahora ya tan poco usada y despreciada), pero en cambio adquiere un estatus de casi personaje. Una ciudad no es la misma en un s\u00f3lo d\u00eda, seg\u00fan quien la pise, y la transformaci\u00f3n es todav\u00eda m\u00e1s obvia cuando hablamos de \u00e9pocas distintas. Por ello, el actual y nost\u00e1lgico xalape\u00f1o podr\u00e1 hallarse a s\u00ed mismo complaci\u00e9ndose tras la lectura de \u201cEl Umbral\u201d en la b\u00fasqueda de las calles de La Amargura y la de Bel\u00e9n, intuyendo presencias pasadas en San Jos\u00e9, recreando una villa llena de \u00e1rboles y vac\u00eda de autos\u2026 hasta que un d\u00eda, caminando por \u00darsulo Galv\u00e1n, descubra que en aquella calle, hace ya m\u00e1s de dos siglos, naci\u00f3, vivi\u00f3 y gest\u00f3 el movimiento Independista Mar\u00eda Teresa de Medina, nuestra dama insurgente.<br \/>\npolisemia@outlook.es<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cecilia Mu\u00f1oz Polisemia \u201cEl Umbral\u201d (Universidad Veracruzana, 2015) es una novela hist\u00f3rica que relata la vida de Mar\u00eda Teresa de Medina, una de las grandes olvidadas de la Independencia mexicana.
