One must also take into account the support provided by the city's allies and tributaries a long the banks of the lake. Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325. Developing together with the capital was Tlatelolco, founded around the year 1337 and home to the huge provisions market as well as great schools for warriors and nobles. In addition, the lakeside cities of Azcapotzalco, Tlacopan, Xochimilco, Chalco and Texcoco achieved great splendor. The first four of these settlements are now included within the metropolitan area ofMexico City. This pro vides us with an idea of how big Lake Texcoco was in the l 6th century.

  • Gallery of Mexican Art
    V oices ofMerico /January • March, 1995 41 Gallery of Mexican Art n the early the 1930s, Carolina and Inés Amor decided to give Mexico City an indispensable tool for promoting the fine arts in whatI was, at that time, an unusual way. They created a space where artists not only showed their art, but could also sell directly to people who liked their work. It was a place which gave Mexico City a modem, cosmopolitan air, offering domestic and international collectors the work of Mexico's artistic vanguard. The Gallery of Mexican Art was founded in 1935 by Carolina Amor, who worked for the publicity department at the Palace of Fine Arts before opening the gallery. That job had allowed her to form close ties with the artists of the day and to learn about their needs. In an interview, "Carito" —as she was called by her friends— recalled a statement by the then director of the Palace of Fine Arts, dismissing young artists who did not follow prevailing trends: "Experimental theater is a diversion for a small minority, chamber music a product of the court and easel painting a decoration for the salons of the rich." At that point Carolina felt her work in that institution had come to an end, and she decided to resign. She decided to open a gallery, based on a broader vision, in the basement of her own house, which her father had used as his studio. At that time, the concept of the gallery per se did not exist. The only thing approaching it was Alberto Misrachi's bookstore, which had an The gallery has a beautiful patio.

  • LOS CÓDICES HISTÓRICOS MEXICAS. EL CÓDICE AZCATITLAN María Castañeda De La Paz (Universidad De Sevilla / Universidad De Leiden, Holanda)
    EHSEA. N' 14/Bnero-Junio 1997, pp. 273-299 LOS CÓDICES HISTÓRICOS MEXICAS. EL CÓDICE AZCATITLAN María Castañeda de la Paz (Universidad de Sevilla / Universidad de Leiden, Holanda) Este trabajo es un intento más de profundizar y aclarar los contenidos de los códices históricos y la problemática que presentan en su estudio e interpretación. Para un mejor entendimiento del tema hemos tomado como ejemplo un manuscrito, que en nuestra opinión es altamente ilustrativo ya que, además de abarcar un amplio período cronológico, refleja muy claramente el modo en que los aztecas mexicas creaban y concebían su propia historia y, cómo ésta, sufrió las influencias de la cultura europea. Nos referimos al Códice Azcatitlan. Los códices de carácter histórico --objeto de análisis en el presente ensayo-, fueron creados como instrumento de legitimación y dominación de la clase dirigente frente al pueblo para demostrar su grandeza y poder. Un aspecto común en estos manuscritos es la cantidad de contradicciones que presentan. Por qué documentos que narran unos mismos hechos históricos varían constantemente en sus personajes protagonistas, en la ruta a seguir en busca del lugar donde asentarse, en las listas de conquistas o incluso en las fechas que marcan los distintos acontecimientos. Otro aspecto bastante frecuente, muy claro en el Códice Azcatitlan, es que el relato de la historia de un pueblo suele acompañarse de una narración sagrada. Se trata de hechos desconcertantes para la mentalidad europea, pero frecuentes en esta clase de documentos clasificados como históricos. Para una mayor compresión de esta compleja cuestión, debemos entender que la historia azteca mexica era una historia reconstruida que respondía siempre a un mismo objetivo: crear una historia oficial que desde su base justificara la gloria y poder legítimo del pueblo protagonista con una clara intención propagandística por parte de sus creadores.

    PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis del cambio en el ámbito comercial Clara ORTEGA GARCÍA Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. Unidad Azcapotzalco Directora: Mtra. Ma. del Carmen Bernárdez de la Granja Mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Existe en la Ciudad de México, como en otros lugares, una tendencia que ha protagonizado las revitalizaciones de espacios públicos realizadas en los últimos años, se trata de la peatonalización de calles o avenidas. Dicho tipo de intervención es, definitivamente impactante en cuanto que modifica determinantemente el uso y percepción del espacio. La constante insistencia por la necesidad de revitalizar el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México ha provocado, además de una evidente transformación de imagen urbana, otras mutaciones en el espacio urbano, cambios muy evidentes de carácter social, espacial y económico principalmente. Lo que aquí se presenta, es un análisis de éste tipo de intervención, realizada en la calle Francisco I. Madero, arteria vital del centro histórico, que cerró el tránsito vehicular en 2010 para priorizar el acceso exclusivamente peatonal al centro de la ciudad; los impactos generados a partir de éste suceso, principalmente en el ámbito comercial. Palabras clave: Centro Histórico, Revitalización, Peatonalización ABSTRACT In Mexico City exists a trend, as in other places, that has played a main role in the revitalization of public spaces in recent years: the pedestrianisation of streets or avenues. Such an intervention has an important impact since it crucially modifies the use and perception of space. Constant insistence for the need to revitalize Mexico City's Historic Center has caused, in addition to a clear transformation of urban image, other important mutations in the urban space, mainly of social, spatial and economic nature.
