Música eclesiástica en el altépetl novohispano

Desde la musicología se han realizado importantes análisis sobre los papeles de música que se encuentran en los repositorios parroquiales de los antiguos «pueblos de indios» (así llamados por los españoles); sin embargo, los autores que han escrito sobre la realidad de los habitantes originarios posterior a la conquista sólo exponen de manera tangencial la participación de sus cantores e instrumentistas en el mundo musical novohispano. Su trabajo dentro de los templos ha pasado desapercibido o se ha considerado como un fenómeno aleatorio al quehacer cultual del orbe indígena.

This book reconfigures the study of the origins of the Enlightenment in the Spanish Empire. Challenging dominant interpretations of the period, this book shows that early eighteenth-century Spanish authors turned to Enlightenment ideas to reinvent Spain’s role in the European balance of power. And while international law grew to provide a legal framework that could safeguard peace, Spanish officials, diplomats, and authors, hardened by the failure of Spanish diplomacy, sought instead to regulate international relations by drawing on investment, profit, and self-interest. The book shows, on the basis of new archival research, that the Diplomatic Enlightenment sought to turn the Spanish Empire into a space for closer political cooperation with other European and non-European states and empires.
