Idolatry as Strategy
The aim of this article is to show that the discursive and translational construction of ‛idolatry' is not only a religious, but also a political concept in the context of colonial evangelisation and administration in New Spain. Excerpts from a catechism are used to analyse the representation of idolatry and its translation into the indigenous language of Zapotec by Dominican missionaries. The analysis of notarial texts shows the changes in meani…
Translationsstrategien in Texten der Evangelisierung und der indigenen Rechtsprechung in Neu-Spanien
This paper sets out to reconstruct concepts of translation between Spanish and indigenous languages that were prevalent in religious as well as notarial contexts in colonial Mexico (more specifically in a district within the state of Oaxaca) between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
