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.

Corp. www.cognizantcommunication.com OAXACA’S INDIGENOUS GUELAGUETZA FESTIVAL: NOT ALL THAT GLISTENS IS GOLD MICHELLE WHITFORD School of Tourism, University of Queensland, Ipswich, Australia Guelaguetza is one of Mexico’s premiere celebrations of indigenous dance and music. The festival occurs every July in Oaxaca City where it is a premier tourist attraction providing opportunities for socioeconomic growth and development. Yet the festival also creates negative impacts such as commodifi cation and com- mercialization of the festival, which may lead to the bastardization of culture, including loss of indigenous authenticity and exploitation of local resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to critically ana- lyze the positive and negative impacts of the 2007 Guelaguetza in order to determine the extent to which the festival focuses on becoming a tourist attraction at the expense of community celebration. A qualitative research design utilizing the case study approach was employed to analyze positive and negative impacts emerging from the real-world context of the 2007 Guelaguetza.

Yet, despite the volume of work in Oaxaca, information about one of its key resource areas, the central Pacific coast, remains limited. Specifically, the ambiguous role of Oaxaca’s Central Coast in interregional relationships during pre-Hispanic times to the sites of Monte Albán and Tututepec has been a chronic problem and major source of debate for decades.

  • Tracing Louis H. Ayme's Explorations in Oaxaca, México, 1884-1885
    FAMSI © 2002: Cynthia N. Pinkston Tracing Louis H. Ayme’s Explorations in Oaxaca, México, 1884-1885 Research Year : 1999 Culture : Zapotec Chronology : Classic Location : Oaxaca, México Site : Santa Maria Coatlan Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Introduction Research Goals Methodology and History of Research Conclusions and Continuing Research Acknowledgements List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract This report details some aspects of research tracing an early example of the gathering of Pre-Columbian archaeological objects in Oaxaca, México. It focuses on the work of Louis H. Ayme at Santa Maria Coatlan, one of two locations where he excavated in 1884-1885. His records of exploration and collecting in two caves, still important in the life of this Zapotec village, provide an opportunity for studying both the objects that he recovered and the importance of caves in this part of Oaxaca. Ayme’s work helps document a particular case of ritual cave usage in Mesoamerica, a tradition dating from Pre-Columbian times, which sometimes continues into the present. It also provides several opportunities for learning more about Santa Maria’s role in this poorly understood area of Oaxaca. Resumen En este informe se detallan algunos aspectos de la investigación que rastrea un ejemplo temprano del coleccionismo de objetos arqueológicos precolombinos en Oaxaca, México. Está centrado en el trabajo de Louis H. Ayme en Santa María Coatlan, una de las dos localizaciones en las que excavó en 1884-1885. Los registros que realizó de la exploración y recolección de dos cuevas que aún soy importantes en la vida de esta aldea zapoteca, proporcionan la oportunidad de estudiar tanto los objetos que él recuperó como la importancia de las cuevas en esta parte de Oaxaca.
