State Ritual and Religion in the Sacred Precinct of Tenochtitlan
"The Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs, the first of its kind, provides a current overview of recent research on the Aztec empire, the best documented prehispanic society in the Americas. Chapters span from the establishment of Aztec city-states to the encounter with the Spanish empire and the Colonial period that shaped the modern world. Articles in the Handbook take up new research trends and methodologies and current debates. The Handbook articles…
The Myth of Quetzalcoatl
"The Myth of Quetzalcoatl is a translation of Alfredo López Austin’s 1973 book Hombre-Dios: Religión y politica en el mundo náhuatl. Despite its pervasive and lasting influence on the study of Mesoamerican history, religion in general, and the Quetzalcoatl myth in particular, this work has not been available in English until now. The importance of Hombre-Dios and its status as a classic arise from its interdisciplinary approach, creative use of a…
Mitos e íconos de la ruptura del Eje Cósmico
En el estudio de la iconografía mesoamericana es necesario distinguir entre los íconos que remiten a la percepción sensorial de un objeto y los que apuntan a la aprehensión conceptual del mismo. Es frecuente encontrar la segunda clase de íconos en las representaciones de los componentes del aparato cósmico, entre ellas el Monte Sagrado o el Árbol Florido. En los monolitos mexicas conocidos con los nombres de Piedra de Tízoc y Piedra del Ex-Arzobi…
Los mexicas ante el cosmos
We examined the distribution and origin of the nerve fibers innervating the dura mater of the rat that show immunoreactivity for the TRPV1 receptor (TRPV1-IR). Nearly 70% of the nerve fibers showing TRPV1-IR in the dura mater also exhibited CGRP-IR. Using a combination of immunohistochemistry and a retrograde tracer technique, we detected tracer accumulation in 0.6% of the neurons in the trigeminal ganglion and a few neurons in the dorsal root ga…
Dioses del norte, dioses del sur
La magia y la adivinación en la tradición mesoamericana
We propose a calibration-free algorithm for retrieval of elemental concentrations using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. This is a simple and improved version of other ratio-based algorithms as it needs only one trial parameter to estimate all other concentrations. The present algorithm has been used to estimate the composition of a brass sample, and the results agree within 1% with electron probe microanalyzer measurements
El pasado indígena
Visión global y unitaria del pasado indígena de México. Los autores proporcionan al lector una visión panorámica que se inicia hace más de 30 milenios con los primeros recolectores-cazadores, y sigue la pista de las grandes transformaciones sociales hasta principios del siglo XVI. En la historia incluyen las tres superáreas culturales del periodo prehispánico: Mesoamérica, Aridamérica y Oasisamérica, y muestran los vínculos que existieron entre e…
El chacmool mexica
RESUME- Très discutée, l'image mésoaméricaine du chacmool a suscité de nombreuses études inconciliables. Certains ont proposé des interprétations générales. On propose ici, au contraire, que les fonctions du chacmool, en tant qu'objet rituel, ont permis des représentations diverses selon l'époque, la localisation, les traditions culturelles et l'analyse porte spécifiquement sur ses traits dans le contexte mexica

The Aztec Kings
The Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan
In this article the significance of Teotihuacan's most sumptuous monument is studied: the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. Based on iconographie studies, together with the results of recent archaeological excavations, it is possible to deduce that the building was dedicated to the myth of the origin of time and calendric succession. The sculptures on its facades represent the Feathered Serpent at the moment of the creation. The Feathered Serpent bears the…
Prefacio
La mitad inferior del cosmos y la mitad inferior del cuerpo se corresponden. Hay entre ellas un juego isonómico que se mantiene, productivo, entre otomíes actuales. Jacques Galinier nos descubre las creencias de los otomíes del sur de la Huasteca con una puntualidad que —como en sus trabajos anteriores— provoca de inmediato reflexiones sobre el complejo proceso por el que los pueblos colonizados van construyendo su visión del mundo. Las investiga…
