Abstract
En este trabajo se pretende abordar un estudio sobre el uso y la integración de los motivos faunísticos en el discurso político del siglo XVII y la construcción teórica de la razón de Estado. En éste se analizan los significados y los valores simbólicos asociados a los rasgos y el comportamiento de determinados animales, a partir de los cuales pueden reconstruirse los aspectos fundamentales de las preocupaciones vertidas en la tratadística política y sus principios ideológicos.
Nos centramos en el estudio de aquellos libros de emblemas españoles que, por sus particularidades temático-estructurales, pueden ser considerados como obras específicamente políticas: Empresas Políticas, Saavedra Fajardo; Emblemata Regio Politica, Solórzano; Príncipe perfecto, Andrés Mendo y, Tercera parte del sabio instruido, Garau. Asimismo, los casos analizados se estudian en relación a sus antecedentes simbólicos en el marco de la tradición animalística y la emblemática.

Here we analyze the symbolic meanings and values associated to the treats and behaviour of certain animals. From them it is possible to reconstruct the fundamental aspects of the concerns shed upon the politic treatises and its ideological foundations. We focus our paper in the study of those Spanish emblematics books that, because of their thematic-structural particularities, can be considered as specific political works: Empresas Políticas, Saavedra Fajardo; Emblemata Regio Politica, Solórzano; Príncipe perfecto, Andrés Mendo y, Tercera parte del sabio instruido, Garau. Also, the analyzed cases are studied in relation to their symbolic precedents into the frame of the animalistic and emblematic tradition.
