Tells the story of New Spain's integration into the Pacific world and the impact it had on mobility and identity-making.
Staging Christ's Passion in Eighteenth-Century Nahua Mexico
Staging Christ’s Passion in Eighteenth-Century Nahua Mexico explores the Passion plays performed in Nahuatl (Aztec) by Indigenous Mexicans living under Spanish colonial occupation. Though sourced from European writings and devotional practices that emphasized the suffering of Christ and his mother, this Nahuatl theatrical tradition grounded the Passion story in the Indigenous corporate community. Passion plays had courted controversy in Europe since their twelfth-century origin, but in New Spain they faced Catholic authorities who questioned the spiritual and intellectual capacity of Indigenous people and, in the eighteenth century, sought to suppress these performances. Six surviving eigh...

Poesía y censura en América virreinal
A inicios de 1596, salía de las prensas de Antonio Ricardo en Lima el primer poema épico escrito por un criollo americano: el Arauco domado de Pedro de Oña. La publicación produjo reacciones desiguales: ingenios peninsulares y americanos alabaron (y aun imitaron) al entonces llamado “Apolo nuevo”, mientras que vecinos de las ciudades de Quito y Lima, así como autoridades civiles y eclesiásticas del virreinato, llevaron a cabo una férrea persecución de la obra que derivó en la confiscación de buena parte de los ejemplares impresos. El presente volumen reflexiona en torno a la censura de obras poéticas en América colonial a partir del examen de este caso particular. La edición filológica del expediente completo está a cargo de Manuel Contreras Seitz. Los estudios de Raúl Marrero-Fente, Pedro Guibovich, Francisco Burdiles, José Antonio Mazzotti y Sarissa Carneiro abordan diversas aristas jurídicas, políticas, teológico-morales y literarias del proceso contra Oña y sus impresores. Todo ello permite reconstruir una escena de notable importancia para el archivo colonial.
Dreams of Waking
In this anthology, Vincent Barletta, Mark L. Bajus, and Cici Malik treat the Iberian lyric in the late Middle Ages and early modernity as a deeply multilingual, transnational genre that needs to break away from the old essentialist ideas about language, geography, and identity in order to be understood properly. More and more, scholars and students are recognizing the limitations of single-language, nationalist, and period-bound canons and are looking for different ways to approach the study of literature. The Iberian Peninsula is an excellent site for this approach, where the history and politics of the region, along with its creative literature, need to be read and studied together with th...
The Tropics of Empire
A radical revision of the geographical history of the discovery of the Americas that links Columbus's southbound route with colonialism, slavery, and today's divide between the industrialized North and the developing South. Everyone knows that in 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed west across the Atlantic, seeking a new route to the East. Few note, however, that Columbus's intention was also to sail south, to the tropics. In The Tropics of Empire, Nicolás Wey Gómez rewrites the geographical history of the discovery of the Americas, casting it as part of Europe's reawakening to the natural and human resources of the South. Wey Gómez shows that Columbus shared in a scientific and technical tr...

Spanish Golden Age Poetry in Motion
The fourteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with the matter of motion in early modern Spanish poetics. Los catorce ensayos de este volumen conectan de una manera perceptible con el tema del movimiento enla poesía española del siglo de oro The fourteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with the matter of motion in early modern Spanish poetics, without limiting the dialectic of stasis and movement to any single sphere or manifestation. Interrogation of the interdependence of tradition and innovation, poetry, power and politics, shifting signifiers, the intersection of topography and deviant temporalities, the movement between the secular and the sacred, tensions be...
Mexico's Indigenous Past
This handsomely illustrated book offers a panoramic view of ancient Mexico, beginning more than thirty thousand years ago and ending with European occupation in the sixteenth century. Drawing on archaeological and ethnohistorical sources, the book is one of the first to offer a unified vision of Mexico's precolonial past. Typical histories of Mexico focus on the prosperity and accomplishments of Mesoamerica, located in the southern half of Mexico, due to the wealth of records about the glorious past of this region. Mesoamerica was only one of three cultural superareas of ancient Mexico, however, all interlinked by complex economic and social relationships. Tracing the large social transforma...
