Ce livre analyse les quatre pages du texte des annales de Cuauhtitlan qui traitent de la vie et de la mort de Quetzalcóatl. L’auteur s’est limité à un seul point de vue : celui de relire les sources concernant Quetzalcóatl à la lumière de ce que l’on sait du mystère religieux dans le Mexique préhispanique, représentations théâtrales se terminant par le sacrifice de l’acteur principal et parfois de tout son entourage. Depuis le XVI siècle, deux écoles se sont opposées : Quetzalcóatl fut-il un personnage historique, comme le soutiennent les uns, ou une figure mythique, comme l’affirment les autres ? La solution d’Arnold Lebeuf est qu’il est tout à la fois entièrement mythologique et entièrement historique, parce que le texte des Annales fait référence à une ou des représentations jouées historiquement d’un libretto mythologique.

Living and working among the Tz'utujil Maya people of Santiago Atitlán in highland Guatemala for some fifteen years, Vincent Stanzione has observed, photographed, and participated in their ritual and ceremonial life, which he describes with unique authority in this account of the continuities in Mayan culture from pre-Columbian times to the present. "This book represents both a confirmation and an innovation in the scholarship and field work about the religious imagination and rites of passage of Maya peoples. I know of no book that is as able to a) link the pre-Hispanic, colonial and contemporary religious practices of these peoples into a coherent narrative, b) combine anthropological/religious studies theory with linguistics and ongoing field work as creatively and c) illuminate the debate between models of 'syncretism' and 'transculturation' about a contemporary ritual cycle as Stanzione's beautifully illustrated work."--David Carrasco, Harvard University

Most American schoolbooks claim that the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II confused the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés for the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a fabulous, fair-skinned priest king of ancient times who had promised to return, which is why Moctezuma voluntarily surrendered his mighty empire. In the past, the tale of Quetzalcoatl has inspired many people to speculate about pre-Columbian invaders from the Old World. It has also been abused as another presumed proof of white supremacy. Indigenous traditions, however, saw a Mexican Messiah who played an important part in constructing the Mexican national identity. This book demonstrates that the story of the returning god is a product of “fake news” uttered by Cortés. It does so by analysing the most important sources of the Quetzalcoatl-tale. A systematic context-enlargement that also includes ethnographic information and contemporary history reveals why and how Cortés constructed this story, and why and how the Aztec elite adopted it. This method proves to be an epistemological tool which allows researchers to identify pre-Hispanic information in ethnohistorical texts of colonial times. As a result, the true Quetzalcoatl behind the legend comes to light.

In “a four-star page turner” (The Denver Post) from #1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler, Dirk Pitt discovers a trail leading straight to priceless treasures. But it also thrusts him into conflict that could tip the world’s balance of power the wrong way… Charts of lost gold…breathtaking art and rare volumes…maps of hidden oil and mineral deposits that could change the world’s balance of power. Now Dirk Pitt discovers the secret trail of the treasures of Alexandria—a trail that plunges him into a brutal conspiracy for total domination of the globe. Zealots threaten to unseat the governments of Egypt and Mexico, exposing America to invasion and economic collapse. Suddenly, from East to West, anarchists reach their deadly tentacles into the heart of the United States. And Dirk Pitt, the hard-hitting hero of Clive Cussler’s smash bestsellers Sahara and Inca Gold, is up against the most feared assassin known to man. An international band of terrorists is making its play for world power on the high seas—and Pitt is the only man alive who can stop them! In “a novel that features the greatest treasure hunt of all time” (Publishers Weekly), “Cussler moves the players around the global chessboard with a compelling clarity that keeps you captivated…And the conclusion is gangbusters” (The Washington Post). Treasure is “an ingenious roller-coaster of a story” (Daily News, New York).

This book critically examines how movies that feature real or imagined explorers and expeditions creatively feature the geography of Latin America. It focuses on how locales are scripted into film plots and artistically depicted, and demonstrates that place is as important as any character in a film, especially in this genre. Nineteen key films are analyzed. Some, like Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo, The Other Conquest, Embrace of the Serpent, and The Lost City of Z are based on the exploits of real explorers. Others are fictional, including Apocalypto, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Dora and the Lost City of Gold. The author also discusses the evolution of exploration-discovery films, including trends that will likely be found in forthcoming movies.

Un ensayo sobre los fundamentos del poder político en Mesoamérica y una formidable síntesis histórica del México antiguo La formación del Estado es el proceso civilizador que impulsó el desarrollo de Mesoamérica, el origen de su unidad política y de su identidad social y cultural. Los habitantes de estos territorios construyeron el poder que los organizaría y dotaría de identidad basándose en cuatro pilares: el grupo étnico, el territorio o altépetl, la fundación del reino y la centralización del poder. La particularidad de estas cuatro instituciones no radica, sin embargo, en sus orígenes —ya que las cuatro partieron de procesos sociales y políticos tangibles—, sino más bien en su interiorización en el imaginariocolectivo, que tomó forma de mitos, símbolos, imágenes y relatos de matiz religioso e ideológico. En este magnífico ensayo, profusamente ilustrado y actualizado de acuerdo con los descubrimientos más recientes, Enrique Florescano trata desde una perspectiva histórica novedosa la formación del Estado en Mesoamérica, desde su aparición en el Preclásico hasta su abrupto final en las trágicas jornadas de 1521, pasando por los reinos mayas, los poderosos Estados de Teotihuacan, Chichén Itzá y Tula, y los reinos militaristas que dominaron el Posclásico, mostrándonos que la historia política puede situarse en el centro del desarrollo social, económico y cultural de los pueblos que habitaron Mesoamérica.

Fourteen-year-old Peter Collins cannot help but wonder if it was all just a dream. Even though it has been two years since he traveled back in time to ancient Mexico with his friend, Rosa Guzman, two questions continue to haunt him: Why hasn't Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent who guided Rosa and him through their time travels, returned as he had promised? Who is his real father? Peter knows the secret will be revealed once he passes his final test. When Quetzalcoatl finally shows up, the boy cannot help but feel a little anxious about his most important mission to date. After Peter and Rosa travel back in time once more to the last days of the Aztec Empire, they are taken to Lord Montezuma, who declares that Topiltzin, the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl, is returning to reclaim his throne. When he hears hostile warriors are advancing toward the capital, Montezuma is convinced their leader is Topiltzin and decides to welcome him to avoid a war of all the gods. But unfortunately, Montezuma could not be more wrong. In the exciting conclusion to the Tollan Trilogy, two teenage adventurers must create peace between the conquerors and the people of ancient Mexicobefore the future of America is changed forever and Peters past is finally revealed. ********** Cantwell concludes his Tollan trilogy with high school time-traveler Peter Collins greatest adventure yet. In previous books in the series, Peter and his friend Rosa traveled to ancient Mexico with the help of the serpent god Quetzalcoatl. Now they journey to Tenochtitlan, the city of the Aztecs,where they must set history on its right course. Tasked with no little feat, Peter and Rosa reach the heart of one of the most contentious times in Mexican history. When a conquistadorknown in Spanish as Cortescomes to the Aztec city, Peter and Rosa help Emperor Montezuma deal with the newcomer. Together they must figure out if the man is Topiltzinthe human reincarnation of Quetzalcoatlor a stranger bent on conquering the city by force. Eventually, Quetzalcoatl does in fact return, and he brings Peter and Rosa forward in history to the city of Choula, where they try to bring peace to the nascent country of Mexico by convincing the Spaniards that Mexicans deserve love, respect and equality. Cantwell superbly recreates ancient Mexico with colorful descriptions of city buildings, citizens attire and specific details like blood in the streets from human sacrifices. Despite offering an admirable message for kids, the trip to Choula feels out of place and more like a mere detour. Additionally, readers are swept away before seeing the fall of the Aztecs, which is a bit disappointing; the end of Topiltzins story is merely told to reader rather than shown. Nonetheless, Cantwell brings his trilogy to a satisfying conclusion, as Peter and Rosa realize theyre more than just friends, and Peter finally learns the shocking truth of his parentage. A thrilling, history-filled adventure.
