The article titled "Regarding the Conquest. Recent Perspectives" presents a book edited by Aurora Díez-Canedo and José Manuel Chávez that compiles texts presented at a colloquium on Hernán Cortés' arrival in Mexico in 1519. The book contains twelve research papers organized into four sections that address different perspectives on the conquest. The sections include transatlantic, regional, biographical, and image and representation views. The book analyzes not only central figures such as Carlos V and Hernán Cortés, but also secondary characters and explores existing documentation and the potential of "biographical views". It also includes works by historians with experience in fieldwork that explore the geography, archaeology, and anthropology of the cultures that faced the changes generated by the conquerors. The book was published in commemoration of the fifth centenary of the conquest of Mexico. [Extracted from the article]

This paper contributes new elements for the reading of the modernist narrative of Mexico, specifically that of Amado Nervo and Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera. The approach is realized from an intertextual perspective with certain canonical models from turn-of-the-century French and English narrative. In the case of Nervo, elements are provided for the analysis of a book rarely studied: Cartas de mujeres; while with Gutiérrez Nájera the well-discussed first modernist novel Por donde se sube al cielo is analyzed.

In this paper we argue that parallelism as a discursive recourse in the Maya oral tradition plays a crucial role at different levels of discursive organization, and not only at the level of the verse and contiguous units as is generally assumed. We analyze the variety of levels at which parallelisms are at play, as well as the relation of parallelism with other rhetorical figures, in particular cyclicity which stands out as an important recourse for the deployment of parallelisms through distant units. The analysis is based on a detailed study of a ritual dialogue of San Juan Bautista's peregrination among the Maya Macehuales (cruso'ob) from Quintana Roo (Mexico). It confirms that discursive parallelisms must be considered not only as esthetical or poetical elements, with their emotional and emphatic effects, but also as procedures of macro-discursive organization, with thematic, semantic and pragmatic functions.

Among ancient Middle American scholars it is a common idea that Pre-Columbian Mixtec codices were only a huge compendium of genealogical records and registers of place names. Nevertheless, a detailed examination of the corpus will lead us soon to find historic and anthropological data contained in each one of the pictures depicted on these Posclassic documents. Through iconography it is possible to identify a great deal of objects and symbols related to power exerted by rulers. In this paper I will try to recognize the elements which conform the ritual and political action of Mixtec rulers, compared with several images and emblems of power shown in Classic Maya iconography.

This paper highlights the cosmological symbolism of some buildings and plastic images in the city of Palenque with the objective of understanding the presence in this place of itzamná, celestial and creator deity of the Maya. This deity is represented as a two headed celestial dragon and as a dragon with a Skyband body in the tombstone of K'inich Janahb' Pakal and in the tablet of the Temple of the Cross, dedicated to god GI, a member of the Palenque Triad. the inscriptions found in this tablet tell the story of the present world. The name Itzamná, also in close relationship with GI, and as a creator god, is mentioned in the inscriptions at Temple XIX, dealing also with the origin of the world. This confirms the identification of the deity with the Celestial Dragon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents abstracts on the Mayan culture which include the cosmological symbolism of some buildings and plastic images in the Palenque City, Mexico, the human hand representations in art, and the procedures involved in the human heart sacrifice and associated body treatments.

In order to provide evidence that helps to test the hypothesis that there was a relatively homogeneous central Mexican plurilingual culture during the last part of the Prehispanic period and the early years of the colonial period, the author David Wright compares the Otomi calendars, as described in the Huichapan Codex and other documentary sources from the colonial period such as Relación geográfica de Metztitlán, with Nahuatl terms based on other sources. He notes that Motolinia's description, for example, of the Nahuatl festival izcalli for Cuauhtitlan involved an area that was principally Otomi-speaking. In the comparison made, Wright includes the paleographic transcription, and adds a phonemic reading and morphemic analysis for both languages. He finds that in large part the names correspond cross-linguistically and suggests that additional studies need to be made to find more evidence that can be taken into account.

El artículo presenta un análisis morfosintáctico de la omisión del declarante en el uso, para títulos periodísticos, del estilo indirecto no marcado. El autor analiza el uso de este mecanismo gramatical en varios diarios mexicanos incluyendo "El Universal," "La Prensa" y "La Jornada." Considera su uso tanto para declarantes ajenos como para cuando el declarante es la misma entidad que origina la noticia.

Rosío Molina Landeros analyzes a specific group of the linguistic and religious texts commonly known as Artes or Gramáticas, Vocabularios and Doctrinas para indios, which are the result of deep and long processes of observation, compilation and selection of information. She directs her attention to four Jesuit Gramáticas from the XVII and XVIII centuries in order to analyze how the information included in the Spanish-lndigenous language section of the vocabularies from three of these works is presented. She describes how in some cases the authors followed the pattern established in the New Spain by fray Alonso de Molina, in others the pattern exercised was that of Molina's predecessor Antonio de Nebrija, and sometimes even innovations were introduced by each author according to the specific circumstances of their works.
