Cut-Paper Figures and Nahua Conceptions of the Divine
Nahuas of the Huasteca Veracruzana, along with their Otomí (Ñähñu) and Tepehua (Hamasipiní) neighbors, evoke sacred spirit entities through the medium of cut-paper figures, which they arrange on altars and make the subject of elaborate ritual offerings, including the blood of chickens and turkeys. The cut-paper figures embody forces in the cosmos that are critically important for human well-being and reveal the pantheistic basis of Nahua religion…

The Long and the Short of Ethnographic Research among the Nahua of Northern Veracruz, Mexico
Long‐term ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico provides the basis for a critical evaluation of commitment to a single research site over decades. We discuss positive and negative features of this strategy as well as its effect on understanding of basic anthropological concepts
Introduction to “Long‐Term Fieldwork”
This special issue presents new, original essays by anthropologists who have spent a great deal of time carrying out fieldwork in a variety of ways and under many different conditions. Their ways of doing long‐term fieldwork vary from revisiting the same community to doing multisited fieldwork to gain a broader comparative perspective in the discipline of anthropology. The authors wrestle with the meaning of their work after observing the people …

Ritual economy among the Nahua of Northern Veracruz, Mexico
Nahua ritual specialists of northern Veracruz, Mexico, portray spirit entities by cutting their images from paper. Paper cutting is an ancient craft in Mesoamerica that traces back to the pre-Hispanic era. The impetus to materialize the spirits in this way is the result of the highly abstract and pantheistic nature of the Nahua religious system. In pantheistic thought, the cosmos itself is the deity and all apparent diversity can be seen as diffe…

Based on empirical analysis, this ethnographic fieldwork and collection of original articles on contemporary Protestant religions in Mexico and Central America examines regions ranging from the Pacific coast in the north to Guatemala in the south. These new studies reveal that Protestantism was in the rise in the last decades of the twentieth century because it was opposing political structures that were largely unworkable in a new age of economi…

AUT2 and AUT7, two novel genes essential for autophagocytosis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated. AUT7 was identified as a low copy suppressor of autophagic defects in aut2-1 cells. Aut7p is a homologue of the rat microtubule-associated protein (MAP) light chain 3 (LC3). Aut2p and Aut7p interact physically. Aut7p is attached to microtubules via Aut2p, which interacts with tubulins Tub1p and Tub2p. aut2- and aut7-deleted cells are…

Mother Worship
The authors identify the general symbol of the Mother Goddess as a common sanctified image, and they demonstrate some of the cultural variations in form or function of the symbol in specific sociocultural settings. Although the subject is approached from a wide variety of perspectives, the authors concur that female deities are not mere projections of sociocultural conditions on an ideological screen; divine mother images represent something of t…

Center and Periphery in the Social Organization of Contemporary Nahuas of Mexico
There has been a tendency among ethnographers working in Indian villages in Mesoamerica to ignore intermediary social units that lie between domestic group and wider universe of community, regional, and national-level social structures (Nutini 1976:3).(1) Ethnographers who have investigated social organization in Mesoamerican have tended to focus on local-level kinship systems. One reason for this emphasis on micro-analyses is that villagers them…
