Sobre Elizabeth Hill Boone, Descendants of Aztec Pictography. The Cultural Encyclopedias of Sixteenth-Century Mexico
Reseña del libro de Elizabeth Hill Boone, Descendants of Aztec Pictography. The Cultural Encyclopedias of Sixteenth-Century Mexico (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2020). 244 pp
Claude Lévi-Strauss
This article, originally delivered as a lecture to Mexican colleagues, argues that the time has come to reassess the intellectual legacy of anthropological structuralism as theorized and, above all, practiced by its founder, Claude Lévi-Strauss. One of the central questions to be addressed is whether Lévi-Strauss's oeuvre-to invoke a typical structuralist dichotomy-is internally continuous or discontinuous. While aligning with those interpreters …
Montañas que danzan
La renovación conceptual de la antropología de los pueblos indígenas de México, una labor que ha sido anunciada demasiadas veces pero emprendida muchas menos de lo necesario, ha llegado al punto en el que ya no son suficientes los llamados para introducir a nuestra tradición antropológica paradigmas como la antropología de las ontologías y la cosmopolítica, sino que resulta indispensable la elaboración, desde cero, de monografías etnográficas que…

Conversely, artefacts like sacred altars are seen as being wild animals of the gods and ancestors, which can bring illness and death to people when not fed by ritual offerings. Based on this and other data that the auth…
El rostro de los días
El estudio de las ideas sobre la corporalidad y las almas se ha consagrado en años recientes como uno de los temas más importantes en el conocimiento de los pueblos mayas del pasado y el presente (Pitarch 1996, 2011; Figuerola Pujol 2010; Velásquez García 2015). En el caso de los k'iche' de Santiago Momostenango, importantes trabajos se han centrado en temas como las prácticas calendáricas (Tedlock 1992), la cosmología (Cook 1981) y la etnohistor…
