Through an account of New Spanish playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón y Mendoza’s path to secure an administrative position for himself in seventeenth-century Spain’s Hapsburg administrative apparatus, this essay discusses the cultural and social conditions that led to the administration’s persistent preoccupation with its public image and, in particular, with the safeguarding of its authority. I argue that the instances of public contempt expressed by his peers – on account of the severe bodily deformity Ruiz de Alarcón suffered from – played a decisive role in the decision of the Council of the Indies to ban the playwright from any public office. The council’s behaviour reflects the restraining influence that the Hapsburg administration exercised over the physical appearance of state officials. This essay also discusses how Ruiz de Alarcón challenges the logic behind this disciplining of bodily appearance in his play Las paredes oyen.

Article (24) / paragraph (5) of the law requires that the party and its members commit themselves to the following: (To preserve the neutrality of the public office and public institutions and not to exploit it for the gains of a party or political organization). This is considered because it is illegal to exploit State institutions for partisan purposes .
