UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles a History of Guelaguetza UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A History of Guelaguetza in Zapotec Communities of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, 16th Century to the Present A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Xóchitl Marina Flores-Marcial 2015 © Copyright by Xóchitl Marina Flores-Marcial 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A History of Guelaguetza in Zapotec Communities of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, 16th Century to the Present by Xóchitl Marina Flores-Marcial Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Kevin B. Terraciano, Chair My project traces the evolution of the Zapotec cultural practice of guelaguetza, an indigenous sharing system of collaboration and exchange in Mexico, from pre-Columbian and colonial times to the present. Ironically, the term "guelaguetza" was appropriated by the Mexican government in the twentieth century to promote an annual dance festival in the city of Oaxaca that has little to do with the actual meaning of the indigenous tradition. My analysis of Zapotec-language alphabetic sources from the Central Valley of Oaxaca, written from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, reveals that Zapotecs actively participated in the sharing system during this long period of transformation. My project demonstrates that the Zapotec sharing economy functioned to build and reinforce social networks among households in Zapotec communities. I argue that guelaguetza enabled communities of the Central Valley of Oaxaca to survive the trauma of conquest, depopulation, and external demands for local resources. Zapotecs relied on the system to maintain control of valuable community resources, such as property, labor, and ii agricultural goods. My project also examines the system of guelaguetza from a transnational perspective by considering how it continues to function effectively for Zapotecs outside of Oaxaca, in other parts of Mexico and in the United States, especially in California. The project utilizes a range of unpublished archival sources from Mexico, Spain, and the United States, including Spanish- and Zapotec-language legal documents, municipal records, and chronicles. Finally, I incorporate Mexican literature from the early twentieth century, and modern ethnographic observations from Oaxaca and California. iii The dissertation of Xóchitl Marina Flores Marcial is approved.

I am deeply grateful to my academic advisors and the institutions in Mexico as well as in the United States that opened their doors to me. I am eternally thankful to my friends and family who provided unconditional love and emotional support throughout this process. I would like to thank my advisor Kevin Terraciano for always supporting and inspiring my work. As an undergraduate student at UCLA, I took my first course on colonial Mexican history with Kevin—the first time I had ever heard Oaxaca mentioned in an academic environment. His teaching and mentorship provided the initial spark that fueled my desire to study the history of my ancestors. I am also greatly indebted to my dissertation committee Pam Munro, Teo Ruiz, William Summerhill, and John M. D. Pohl for their generosity and dedication in guiding me in this project. Their scholarship has truly served as a model for my dissertation and an endless source of personal and professional inspiration. At UCLA I was surrounded by scholars in various fields who provided conversation, instigated laughter and whose work served as further models for my research—Robin Derby and Andrew Apter, Cecelia Klein, Charlene Villaseñor, José Moya, Carlo Ginzburg, the late John Skirius and the late Teshome Gabriel. Their areas of expertise allowed me to open new lines of inquiry in my work. Throughout this process, I have formed meaningful friendships with colleagues, including Aaron Olivas and Luis Muñoz, Luis Sanchez-López, Elizabeth Gonzalez, Daina Sanchez, Sabine Schlosser and Rebecca Zamora. Their willingness to collaborate and exchange ideas, laughter, archival documents and travel is priceless. Certainly, graduate school viii would have been less exciting without the company of Luis Antonio Domínguez Ramírez, who always had a scientific response to my historical questions. In Oaxaca and Mexico, colleagues and paisanos also provided me with multiple forms of support. María de los Ángeles Romero-Frizzi spoke to me about Central Valley documents in the Archivo General de las Indias in Seville early on. Her suggestions lessened the daunting task of figuring out where to begin. Michel Oudijk and Bas van Doesburg who I met with at UNAM and the Biblioteca de Investigación Juan de Córdova were incredibly generous and supportive during my many visits. I owe several academic guelaguetza debts to my paisanos, Zeferino Mendoza and family in Teotitlán del Valle, the autoridades of San Lucas Quiaviní, Ignacio Santiago and family in San Felipe Güilá and the autoridades of San Bartolomé Quialana, Victor Cata and Natalia Toledo in Juchitán. This dissertation would not have been possible without the mighty “Zapotexts,” an inter- disciplinary research team of linguists and historians dedicated to the study of colonial Zapotec documents, where I have felt at home since 1999. The experience I gained from working closely with such academic superstars is truly priceless. The Zapotexts are not only colleagues, but also mentors and dear friends. I would like to thank them for allowing me to incorporate our collective findings in my work. I will always be thankful to Aaron Broadwell, Michael Galant, Brook Lillehaugen María Ornelas, Pam Munro, Aaron Sonnenschein, Diana Schwartz, Lisa Sousa, Kevin Terraciano and the people who attended the weekly meetings over the course of many years. The Zapotexts scholarship has profoundly changed my scholarship. X’tiosu! I am grateful for the numerous grants that made my research possible. The UCLA Department of History Cota Robles Fellowship and the UC Mexus-CONACYT Grant sponsored my research in Seville and Mexico. The Latin American Institute at UCLA and the Center for the ix Study of Women at UCLA sponsored research travel to Oaxaca and for conference presentations. The UCLA Graduate Division Summer Research Grant was instrumental in providing the financial resources for summer archival research trips to Mexico City and Oaxaca. The Mellon Institute Program for Spanish Paleography summer program at the Huntington Library provided much needed practice and training for reading my colonial documents. The Foreign Language Area Studies at UCLA’s Latin American Center grant allowed me to study Portuguese colonialism and to become fluent in Portuguese. And last but not least, as a guest researcher at the Getty Research Institute’s Scholars Program in the summers of 2014 and 2015, I was encouraged to polish a finished draft of this dissertation. I offer my most sincere gratitude to all the individuals at these institutions who made these experiences possible. As a member of the Zapotec community, I am indebted to my pueblo Tlacolula de Matamoros, Oaxaca and the people there who insisted that I finish this dissertation so that we could finally have a source to know our own history. I would like to thank and acknowledge my late grandparents: my paternal grandparents who were forced to disguise their indigenous roots and become mestizos, Ysidro Flores Cruz and Celestina Rios Manzano; and my maternal grandparents Petrona Garcia Quiñones and Andres Marcial Vásquez, Zapotecs who were physically punished by government and church officials for speaking their native language but who spoke it until their last breath. I also would like to thank my strong and wonderful family: my siblings, Luis, Daniel, Adriana and Juana for their love and support; my nephews and niece, Tenochzin, Teotzin, Fabián, Julio and Lupe who brightened my darkest days; and my parents Rufina Marcial García and Nicolas Flores Rios who left their native

Dainzú-Macuilxóchitl is an expansive settlement that was an important part of the Prehispanic Zapotec tradition. Over 130 man-made terraces were mapped, all dating to the Late Classic period (500-900 A.D.), and a large terrace complex found at the summit of Cerro Danush is interpreted as the civic-ceremonial center of the site during that time. I argue that the Late Classic shift in civic-ceremonial focus away from Cerro Dainzú to Cerro Danush implies direct involvement at the site from the nearby urban center of Monte Albán.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

Abstract. This paper is a cross linguistic study examining the structure of deictic day-name systems of 157 of the world's languages. Most of these systems reveal a recurring structural symmetry in the number of diurnal units identified either side of 'today'. As well as this type of numerical symmetry, most languages exhibit a morphological symmetry, and several a lexical symmetry. A small number of languages have numerically and/or morphologically asymmetrical systems. The nature of these symmetries and asymmetries in the light of linguistic relativity is briefly explored. 1. Introduction In the discussion of calendric units, in his now famous Santa Cruz Lectures on Deixis, Charles Fillmore (1975:47) mentions that many languages have a rich set of lexicalisations for deictic day-names.

  • The Toro Historical Review
    THE TORO HISTORICAL REVIEW Native Communities in Colonial Mexico Under Spanish Colonial Rule Vannessa Smith THE TORO HISTORICAL REVIEW Prior to World War II and the subsequent social rights movements, historical scholarship on colonial Mexico typically focused on primary sources left behind by Iberians, thus revealing primarily Iberian perspectives. By the 1950s, however, the approach to covering colonial Mexican history changed with the scholarship of Charles Gibson, who integrated Nahuatl cabildo records into his research on Tlaxcala.1 Nevertheless, in his subsequent book The Aztecs under Spanish Rule Gibson went back to predominantly Spanish sources and thus an Iberian lens to his research.2 It was not until the 1970s and 80s that U.S. scholars, under the leadership of James Lockhart, developed a methodology called the New Philology, which focuses on native- language driven research on colonial Mexican history.3 The New Philology has become an important research method in the examination of native communities and the ways in which they changed and adapted to Spanish rule while also holding on to some of their own social and cultural practices and traditions. This historiography focuses on continuities and changes in indigenous communities, particularly the evolution of indigenous socio-political structures and socio-economic relationships under Spanish rule, in three regions of Mexico: Central Mexico, Yucatan, and Oaxaca. Pre-Conquest Community Structure As previously mentioned, Lockhart provided the first scholarship following the New Philology methodology in the United States and applied it to Central Mexico. In his book, The Nahuas After the Conquest, Lockhart lays out the basic structure of Nahua communities in great detail.4 The Nahua, the prominent indigenous group in Central Mexico, organized into communities called altepetl.
