Place-Names In Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Ethnohistory 61, No. 2 (Spring 2014), Pp. 329-355., Barbara E. Mundy

Art History and Music Faculty Publications

The place-names that residents of the Mexica capital of Tenochtitlan (today Mexico City) gave to their city were both descriptive of topography and commemorative of history. Largely efaced from the Spanish historical register, Mexico City’s Nahuatl place-names were rescued from historical oblivion by José Antonio Alzate in the eighteenth century and again by Alfonso Caso in the twentieth. However, efacement is not equal to extinction, and this article argues for the continued use, even creation, of Nahuatl place-names into the eighteenth century. It suggests that the scholar’s desire to use place-names as an index to a pre-Hispanic past has obscured …

Cruise Ship Tourism In Cozumel, Mexico: “Frios Como La Naturaleza De Los Gringos Lo Dice", Christine Vassallo-Oby

Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship

Cruise ship tourism is a dynamic site of inquiry within the anthropology of tourism. Its history and current social manifestations concerns millions of localities around the globe that combine to form a transnational entity like no other.

Los materiales preredaccionales del escritor Jorge Luis Borges son escasos y de dificil acceso. Daniel Balderston, en "Los manuscritos de Borges: imaginar una realidad más compleja", comenta las múltiples dificultades que puede enfrentar el investigador que se decida a estudiar el proceso de escritura de algún texto: dispersos en diferentes depósitos, celosamente guardados por coleccionistas o particulares, ocasionalmente a la venta por sumas extravagantes, a veces sólo disponibles a través de una edición facsimilar; siguen siendo en deñnjtiva una fuente de estudio anhelada y esquiva, una "terra incognita."
