El Universo, visto desde el muy particular punto de vista de las culturas mesoamericanas, tenía un sentido propio de interpretación. Los animales y las plantas ocupaban la categoría de seres superiores y vivos; y en casos muy particulares se veneraban algunos que por sus rasgos distintivos expresaban una condición con carga conceptual y filosófica. Existen miles de grabados y múltiples figuras rústicas que nos hablan de la manera estilizada y simbólica con que se observaba a seres como el Puma y plantas como el Cactus, por ejemplo. Para los miembros de estas civilizaciones antiguas la respuestas a muchas de las preguntas existenciales llegaban representadas en estas formas concretas y animadas. Un especialista en la materia se ocupa aquí de investigar y mostrarnos con profesional acierto los resultados de un trabajo científico que aporta al conocimiento general e histórico de aquellas culturas.

Birds and Beasts of Ancient Mesoamerica links Precolumbian animal imagery with scientific data related to animal morphology and behavior, providing in-depth studies of the symbolic importance of animals and birds in Postclassic period Mesoamerica. Representations of animal deities in Mesoamerica can be traced back at least to Middle Preclassic Olmec murals, stone carvings, and portable art such as lapidary work and ceramics. Throughout the history of Mesoamerica real animals were merged with fantastical creatures, creating zoological oddities not unlike medieval European bestiaries. According to Spanish chroniclers, the Aztec emperor was known to keep exotic animals in royal aviaries and zoos. The Postclassic period was characterized by an iconography that was shared from central Mexico to the Yucatan peninsula and south to Belize. In addition to highlighting the symbolic importance of nonhuman creatures in general, the volume focuses on the importance of the calendrical and astronomical symbolism associated with animals and birds. Inspired by and dedicated to the work of Mesoamerican scholar Cecelia Klein and featuring imagery from painted books, monumental sculpture, portable arts, and archaeological evidence from the field of zooarchaeology, Birds and Beasts of Ancient Mesoamerica highlights the significance of the animal world in Postclassic and early colonial Mesoamerica. It will be important to students and scholars studying Mesoamerican art history, archaeology, ethnohistory, and zoology.

The author explores shapeshifting practices in detail and the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits we can gain by engaging in shapeshifting practices. She also explores how to strengthen our connections with our spirit animal guides. Offering an alphabetical guide to 76 animals most prevalent in ancient Mesoamericanlegends, ceremonies, and medicinal rites, the author details each animal’s spiritual gifts, shapeshifting medicine, the realm they are associated with, and their symbolic meaning when they appear in a dream or vision. Providing multiple methods to connect with animals for spiritual guidance, self-empowerment, and healing, Buena or reveals how each of us can enrich our lives with ancient Mesoamerican wisdom for working with animal guides.

Christian churches erected in Mexico during the early colonial era represented the triumph of European conquest and religious domination. Or did they? Building on recent research that questions the “cultural” conquest of Mesoamerica, Eleanor Wake shows that colonial Mexican churches also reflected the beliefs of the indigenous communities that built them. European authorities failed to recognize that the meaning of the edifices they so admired was being challenged: pre-Columbian iconography integrated into Christian imagery, altars oriented toward indigenous sacred landmarks, and carefully recycled masonry. In Framing the Sacred, Wake examines how the art and architecture of Mexico’s religious structures reveals the indigenous people’s own decisions regarding the conversion program and their accommodation of the Christian message. As Wake shows, native peoples selected aspects of the invading culture to secure their own culture’s survival. In focusing on anomalies present in indigenous art and their relationship to orthodox Christian iconography, she draws on a wide geographical sampling across various forms of Indian artistic expression, including religious sculpture and painting, innovative architectural detail, cartography, and devotional poetry. She also offers a detailed analysis of documented native ritual practices that—she argues—assist in the interpretation of the imagery. With more than 200 illustrations, including 24 in color, Framing the Sacred is the most extensive study to date of the indigenous aspects of these churches and fosters a more complete understanding of Christianity’s influence on Mexican peoples.

Sigal argues that sixteenth century Nahua sexuality cannot be fully understood only through colonial sensibilities and sources. He examines legal documents, clerical texts, pictorial manuscripts, images and glyphs of Nahua gods and goddesses and descriptions of fertility rituals and other historical accounts and stories to show the complexity of Nahua sexuality.

El reconocimiento del papel de los animales en las antiguas dietas, en las economias, politicas y los rituales, es vital para poder entender a las culturas del pasado en su totalidad. Por el otro lado, seguir las claves que se obtienen de restos de animales preteritos puede aproximarnos a entender la antigua relacion que existia entre los humanos y el mundo que les rodeaba. En respuesta a un creciente interes en el campo de la zooarqueologia, este libro presenta investigaciones que representan a las multiples culturas y regiones de Mesoamerica, tratando especificamente los aspectos mas recurrentes en la literatura zooarqueologica. Desde el punto de vista geografico, los ensayos reunidos aqui informan acerca del uso de animals por parte de los pueblos indigenas de toda el area mesoamericana, ubicada entre los confines nortenos de Mexico y la frontera sur, en Centroamerica. Esto incluye culturas tan diversas como los olmecas, mayas, mixtecos, zapotecos e indigenas de Centroamerica. El marco temporal del libro se extiende desde el Preclasico y Clasico, sobre el Posclasico, los tiempos coloniales e historicos, hasta la epoca actual. Los capitulos del libro, escritos por expertos en la materia de la zooarqueologia mesoamericana, proporcionan un fondo de conocimiento general e importante acerca del uso domestico y ritual durante los tiempos tempranos y clasicos de Mesoamerica y Centroamerica, pero abarcan tambien aspectos especificos de la relacion entre humanos y animales, tales como la domesticacion temprana y el simbolismo de animales, asi como otros puntos aun pobremente entendidos, relacionados a la tafonomia y a la metodologia zooarqueologica. English-language version also available (ISBN 978-1-937040-05-5).

From Ancient Rome to Colonial Mexico compares the Christianization of the Roman Empire with the evangelization of Mesoamerica, offering novel perspectives on the historical processes involved in the spread of Christianity. Combining concepts of empire and globalization with the notion of religion from a postcolonial perspective, the book proposes the method of analytical comparison as a point of departure to conceptualize historical affinities and differences between the ancient Roman Empire and colonial Mesoamerica. An international team of specialists in classical scholarship and Mesoamerican studies engage in an interdisciplinary discussion involving ideas from history, anthropology, archaeology, art history, iconography, and philology. Key themes include the role of religion in processes of imperial domination; religion’s use as an instrument of resistance or the imposition, appropriation, incorporation, and adaptation of various elements of religious systems by hegemonic groups and subaltern peoples; the creative misunderstandings that can arise on the “middle ground”; and Christianity’s rejection of ritual violence and its use of this rejection as a pretext for inflicting other kinds of violence against peoples classified as “barbarian,” “pagan,” or “diabolical.” From Ancient Rome to Colonial Mexico presents a sympathetic vantage point for discussing and attempting to decipher past processes of social communication in multicultural contexts of present-day realities. It will be significant for scholars and specialists in the history of religions, ethnohistory, classical antiquity, and Mesoamerican studies.
