Urban Plan, Architecture, and the Geography of the Sacred in Colonial Morelos
In the sixteenth century, Franciscan, Dominican, and Augustinian missionaries attempted to evangelize the indigenous peoples of central Mexico. Indigenous peoples incorporated the new faith into their belief system on their own terms, and continued to conceptualize a sacred geography that ordered their world and regulated time. At the same time, the missionaries had new sacred complexes built, but the question remains, why did indigenous peoples dedicate labor and community resources to these projects? This study analyzes the urban plan of indigenous communities, the construction of new sacred complexes, and the ways in which the urban plan conformed to the notion of sacred geography.
The Public Rituals of Life, Death, and Resurrection in Tlayacapan, Morelos (Mexico)
A process of social, cultural, and religious change occurred in central Mexico starting in the sixteenth century, following the Spanish conquest. Missionaries from different religious orders attempted to convert the indigenous peoples of central Mexico to Catholicism, and a part of this process involved the imposition of a new ritual cycle on the existing Mesoamerican cycle that governed agriculture and the cosmic order. This study describes the evolution and modern practice of the public ritual of life, death, and resurrection in Tlayacapan, Morelos. Tlayacapan is a community located in northern Morelos that has evolved from being a traditional community of Náhuas to a center of cultural tourism based on its architectural patrimony, artisan tradition, and, particularly, its public ritual. Carnival and the Day of the Dead continue to form a part of the traditional ritual cycle, but have also been used to attract tourism. This study discusses the modern practice of carnival, Holy Week and the Day of the Dead, and the historical origins of these public rituals.
The Jesuits in Spanish America in 1767
On June 25, 1767, royal officials in all Spanish territories, including the Americas, began the process of expelling the members of the Society of Jesus. At the time there were some 2,200-2,400 Jesuits in Spanish America, and they staffed urban colegios and frontier missions. This book provides an overview of Jesuit institutions at the time of the expulsion order, their urban role, and the status of frontier missions focusing on the case study of several issues related to the Missions among the Guaraní in South America. This volume contains a visual catalog of historic maps, and historic and contemporary images of selected Jesuit colegios and other urban institutions.

The Shell Builders
Beaufort, South Carolina, is well known for its historical architecture, but perhaps none is quite as remarkable as those edifices formed by tabby, sometimes called coastal concrete, comprising a mixture of lime, sand, water, and oyster shells. Tabby itself has a storied history stretching back to Iberian, Caribbean, Spanish American, and even African roots—brought to the United States by adventurers, merchants, military engineers, planters, and the enslaved. Tabby has been preserved most abundantly in the Beaufort area and its outlying islands, (and along the Sea Islands all the way to Florida as well) with Fort Frederick in 1734 having the earliest example of a diverse group of structure...
Portafolio docente
Este libro invita al lector, a recorrer un largo y fructuoso camino sobre lo que es un portafolio tanto docente como estudiantil (dicente) y permite entender su gran potencialidad como recurso formativo y para la evaluación. Las coordinadoras de la obra, como estudiosas del tema, reconocen la existencia de un amplio corpus de literatura sobre portafolios en la educación, incluyendo algunos libros, en su mayoría editados en el contexto anglosajón. Sin embargo. Y apesar de su creciente importancia, hay pocos libros recientes en relación a latemática que se haya editado en castellano en América Latina y en particularen México. Con la participación de destacados autores de diversos países, unade las mayores ácualidades de este libro, consiste en ofrecer no solo una visión teórica sobre el portafolio, sino también dar cuenta de diversas experiencias de implantación de portafolios que recuperan trabajos de investigación y vivencias de profesores y estudiantes.
