En este libro se congregan las investigaciones sobre el trasfondo cultural de los mapas de nueve ciudades mexicanas. Ciudades con una historia representativa de la larga épica de ocupación y organización del extenso territorio mexicano, cuyos planos de los siglos xviii y xix atestiguan una riquísima historia política, socioeconómica y urbana de escalas local, regional y nacional, pero ligada también a la escala de los circuitos interconectados de un mundo global. Aquí se rastrean a lo largo de dos siglos las autorías, las intenciones y los objetivos del levantamiento de los mapas urbanos, sus relaciones con textos y documentos, el arte y la técnica de su manufactura. Se buscan parecidos y contrastes. Se descifran ideas, coyunturas e intereses que explican disputas territoriales, y que hablan de conceptos y aspiraciones de ciudad que quisieron ponerse de manifiesto con lenguajes cartográficos. Se encuentran los signos redundantes que funcionan como un diccionario para entender el mapa y su tiempo.

For their part, the descendants of Moctezuma II used Spanish law and customs to maintain and enhance their status throughout the colonial period, achieving titles of knighthood and nobility in Mexico and Spain. So respected were they that a Moctezuma descendant by marriage became Viceroy of New Spain (colonial Mexico's highest governmental office) in 1696. This authoritative history follows the fortunes of the pr...
