LA ARQUITECTURA DEL COSMOS NÁHUATL, 218 BIBLIOGRAFÍA, 220 PROEMIO Como advertirá el lector, he escrito esta tesis motivado por mi interés en la interpretación de los mitos prehispánicos relacionados con el origen de los dioses, el cosmos y el hombre. Inicialmente, debido a cierta candidez y desconocimiento sobre la elaboración del conocimiento historiográfico –no así en la enseñanza y el conocimiento de la Historia- pretendía estudiar Los mitos antiguos mesoamericanos apegados a los textos de las fuentes primarias en la historiografía mexicana, a través de un análisis comparativo. Nuestro proyecto inicial planteaba varios problemas. Necesitábamos establecer con claridad: ¿cuáles eran los antiguos mitos mesoamericanos?, ¿cuáles estaban apegados a los textos de las fuentes primarias?, ¿qué debíamos considerar por fuentes primarias?, sin soslayar las preguntas relacionadas con el por qué y el para qué del análisis comparativo, así como la definición de la metodología para materializarlo. Gracias a la dedicación y paciencia de mi director de tesis, así como a la diligencia y prestancia de mis profesores del Seminario de Investigación –Juan Carlos Cortés Máximo, Ricardo León Alanís y Dení Trejo- el desmesurado proyecto inicial fue tomando un cauce mucho más equilibrado y natural. No obstante, a pesar de su dedicación y empeño, no frenaron del todo mis desmesuradas pretensiones. Después de renunciar a la locura de acudir a los textos de las fuentes primarias sin una preparación previa, y ya situada la investigación en el plano del análisis historiográfico de las obras de los historiadores que han abordado los mitos, osé medir mis fuerzas con dos colosos: Miguel León-Portilla y Alfredo López Austin. En nuestro primer seminario de avances de investigación, en agosto de 2009, mi proyecto de 7 investigación se titulaba La interpretación de los antiguos mitos teogónicos, cosmogónicos y antropogónicos mesoamericanos en la obra de Miguel León-Portilla y Alfredo López Austin, 1956-2008. Mi inconsciencia duró un año más. Al finalizar el tercer semestre del posgrado, en julio de 2010, me di cuenta que sería imposible revisar la obra concerniente a la interpretación del mito mesoamericano en ambos autores. Discutí entonces con mi asesor la pertinencia de acotar nuestro objeto de estudio a La interpretación del mito mesoamericano en la obra de Miguel León-Portilla. 1956-2006, abarcando con ello 50 años de su producción historiográfica. Durante mi estancia en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, en el último semestre de mi formación, pude conocer de primera mano los trabajos de historiadores abocados al análisis historiográfico, en los cuales se han diseccionado las obras de otros historiadores insignes. Las aportaciones señeras de Álvaro Matute, Evelia Trejo y otros historiógrafos destacados -como Rodrigo Díaz Maldonado- me mostraron que una obra historiográfica en sí es suficiente para generar una buena investigación y terribles dolores de cabeza a un historiador bisoño, diletante y con formación normalista como yo. Entre diciembre de 2010 y enero de 2011, mi tesis de maestría había mudado nuevamente de nombre. En febrero, durante la celebración de nuestro cuarto seminario de avances de investigación, ya estaba hablando yo de Miguel León-Portilla y la interpretación del mito en las ediciones mexicanas de La filosofía náhuatl estudiada en sus fuentes. 1956-2006. Un análisis historiográfico. Mi inquietud inicial derivó en el análisis de una obra donde los mitos han sido estudiados. Al intentar insertar mi trabajo en la tradición del análisis historiográfico 8 esbozado por José Gaos, tuve que atender el contexto histórico en que se gestó La filosofía náhuatl estudiada en sus fuentes y reflexionar sobre quién era el responsable de su elaboración. No propongo, por tanto, nada nuevo. En lo general, intento seguir el método de los maestros. Innovo sí, en el objeto de estudio y quizás un poco, en las cuestiones finas de su análisis y conceptualización, sobre todo en la asunción de términos como “el giro historiográfico” y la aplicación de la teoría tropológica de Hayden White. Quisiera finalizar este prólogo con un recuerdo. Durante los trabajos del Seminario de Investigación y Tesis del tercer semestre de nuestra maestría, discutíamos con la doctora Dení Trejo los problemas que planteaba “el giro historiográfico”. Hablábamos sobre la dificultad no ya de “observar” el trabajo de otro historiador, sino de la dificultad que entrañaba “observarnos” a nosotros mismos realizando nuestra labor. Nada más cierto. Entre el caos y las prisas ocasionadas por la finalización de esta tesis, me es imposible “observar” cómo es que he “observado” mi objeto de estudio. Al intentar delinear -después de concluir mi trabajo- mi estilo historiográfico, es imposible establecer por mí mismo cuál es el tropo que configuró mi campo histórico. Veo, eso sí, -y desde la perspectiva de Hayden White- una narrativa diacrónica que explica la trama de una forma que se asemeja a un romance o una novela,

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.

  • Storytelling and Cultural Control in Contemporary Mexican and Yukatek Maya Texts
    Telling and Being Told: Storytelling and Cultural Control in Contemporary Mexican and Yukatek Maya Texts Paul Marcus Worley A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. Rosa Perelmuter Dr. Emilio del Valle Escalante Dr. Gregory Flaxman Dr. David Mora-Marín Dr. Jurgen Buchenau Abstract Paul Worley Telling and Being Told: Storytelling and Cultural Control in Contemporary Mexican and Yukatek Maya Texts (Under the director of Rosa Perelmuter) All across Latin America, from the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico to the presidential election of Evo Morales, an Aymara, in Bolivia, indigenous peoples are successfully rearticulating their roles as political actors within their respective states. The reconfiguration of these relationships involves massive social, cultural, and historical projects as well, as indigenous peoples seek to contest stereotypes that have been integral to the region’s popular imagination for over five hundred years. This dissertation examines the image of the indigenous storyteller in contemporary Mexican and Yukatek Maya literatures. Within such a context, Yukatek Maya literature means and must be understood to encompass written and oral texts. The opening chapter provides a theoretical framework for my discussion of the storyteller in Mexican and Yukatek Maya literatures. Chapter 2 undertakes a comparison between the Mexican feminist Laura Esquivel’s novel Malinche and the Yukatek Maya Armando Dzul Ek’s play “How it happened that the people of Maní paid for their sins in the year 1562” to see how each writer employs the figure of the storyteller to rewrite histories of Mexico’s conquest.

  • The Catholic Church and the Preservation of Mesoamerican Archives: an Assessment
    THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE PRESERVATION OF MESOAMERICAN ARCHIVES: AN ASSESSMENT BY MICHAEL ARBAGI ABSTRACT: This article examines the role of the Catholic Church in the destruction and eventual recreation of the manuscripts, oral histories, and other records of the indigenous civilizations of Mesoamerica (the nations of modern Mexico and Central America). It focuses on the time frame immediately after the conquest of Mesoamerica by the Spanish. The article addresses this topic from an archival, rather than histori- cal, point of view. Destruction and Recreation The invasion and conquest of Mexico by a Spanish expedition under the leadership of Hernán Cortés could be described as the most consequential event in the history of Latin America. The events read like a work of fiction: a band of adventurers from European Spain brought the language, religion, and other institutions of their nation to established pre-Columbian societies which had rich traditions of their own. The technologically and militarily superior Spanish, along with their indigenous allies, conquered the then-dominant power in the region, the Aztec Empire. Nonetheless, pre-Columbian cultures and languages survived to influence and enrich their Spanish conquerors, ultimately forming the complex and fascinating modern nations of Mexico and Central America, or “Mesoamerica.” The Spanish invaders and Catholic clergy who accompanied them destroyed many of the old documents and archives of the civilizations which preceded them. They carried out this destruction often for military reasons (to demoralize the indigenous fighters opposing them), or, in other cases, on religious grounds (to battle what they regarded as the false faith of the native peoples).

How did aspects of material culture-- architecture, food, musical instruments, tools, clothing, etc.-- frame ancient Mesoamerican societies? How were these elements also framed by Mesoamerican societies? How are perceptions of ancient Mesoamericans marshaled in today’s politics and policies? In this course, we will engage with the diverse worlds of pre- and post-contact Mesoamerica, through scholarship that explores the material culture of daily life. The course is arranged around 1) framing questions about the past through ethnographic and ethnohistoric accounts of daily life; 2) using diverse scientific methods and theoretical perspectives to address these questions; and 3) interpreting and possibly re-interpreting daily life of Mesoamerican peoples, focusing on the dynamic interplay between the material and the social. The course is also designed to provide you with a broad overview of sites and material culture in the Mesoamerican area. Each class meeting, we will focus on one theoretical approach, one aspect of material culture, and the peoples of one region. Broader themes will crosscut these emphases. We will explore: - different time periods, from the Late Paleolithic to the present; - different scales of Mesoamerican communities, from large city centers to small hamlets; - different materials studied by Mesoamerican archaeologists, from architecture to food residues; - different approaches to Mesoamerican archaeology, from cultural ecology to practice theory.

Le Page, P. H. Matthews, F. R. Palmer, R. Posner, J. L. M. Trim This series offers general accounts of all the major language families of the world. Some volumes are organized on a purely genetic basis, others on a geographical basis, whichever yields the most convenient and intelligible grouping in each case. Sometimes, as with the Australian volume, the two in any case coincide. Each volume compares and contrasts the typological features of the languages it deals with. It also treats the relevant genetic relationships, historical development, and sociolinguistic issues arising from their role and use in the world today. The intended readership is the student of linguistics or general linguist, but no special knowledge of the languages under consideration is assumed. Some volumes also have a wider appeal, like those on Australia and North America, where the future of the languages and their speakers raises important social and political issues.
