Description

Bringing to bear her extensive knowledge of the cultures of Renaissance Europe and sixteenth-century Mexico, Mónica Domínguez Torres here investigates the importance of military images and emblems in post-Conquest Mexico. She shows how the ‘conquest’ in reality involved dynamic exchanges between cultures; and that certain interconnections between martial, social and spiritual elements resonated with identical intensity among Mesoamericans and Europeans, creating indeed cultural bridges between these diverse communities. Multidisciplinary in approach, this look at builds on scholarship within the fields of visual, literary and cultural studies to analyse the European and Mesoamerican content of the martial imagery fostered throughout the indigenous settlements of central Mexico, in addition to the ways during which local communities and leaders appropriated, manipulated, modified and reinterpreted foreign visual codes. Military Ethos and Visual Culture in Post-Conquest Mexico draws on post-structuralist and post-colonial approaches to analyse the complex dynamics of identity formation in colonial communities.
