Abstract

"The Rabbit on the Face of the Moon is a collection of articles on mythology in the Mesoamerican tradition by Alfredo Lopez Austin, one of the foremost scholars of ancient Mesoamerican thought. Their span is diverse: myths and names, eclipses, stars, left and right, Mexica origins, Aztec incantations, animals, and the incorporation of Christian elements into the living mythologies of Mexico. The title essay relates the Mesoamerican myth explaining why there is a rabbit on the moon's face to a Buddhist image and suggests the importance of the profound mythical concepts presented by each image." "The eighteen pieces in this volume are unified by their basis in Mesoamerican tradition and provide a fascinating look into a system of millennia-old legends and beliefs."--Jacket.

Abstract

Este libro reúne cuatro trabajos de don Silvio Zavala, que giran en torno a uno de los temas más controvertidos y particulares de la historia de México: la castellanización de los indígenas, que a su vez, incide en otro tema no menos controvertido, el de las políticas del lenguaje. Con agudeza y meticulosidad, el autor traspasa el tiempo y observa que desde el siglo XVI existe un problema que aún hoy en día no parece encontrar salida coherente para una nación unificada. La unidad, la identidad, la nacionalidad, el plurilingüismo son los finos hilos que se entretejen en una compleja red de posturas contradictorias y oscilantes entre dos polos: el español o lenguas indígenas. Vieja polémica esta que paradójicamente se urde mucho tiempo antes del encuentro de dos lenguas imperiales: el náhuatl y el español; y que después se reproduce en nuevos moldes surgidos de la vecindad del español con el inglés.

Abstract

(March 1-July 14, 1996), Phoenix Art Museum (Dec. 14, 1996-Feb. 23, 1977), and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (March 30-June 8, 1997) explores the evolution of Spanish American viceroyalties of New Spain (Mexico) and Peru through 250 works including paintings, sculptures, costumes, textiles, furniture, domestic and religious objects, as well as illustrated manuscripts. Scholarly essays by various authors examine issues of identity as expressed and reflected in a wide range of objects and images representative of indigenous contributions and European imported culture. Individual entries for the works of art provide basic data on provenance, date, medium, and dimensions"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
