Daniel O. Mosquera, assistant professor
of Spanish and Latin American Studies, has had an article accepted for
publication in the Journal of Latin
American Cultural Studies (14:2) to be published this year. The article is
titled “Consecrated Transactions: Of Marketplaces, Passion Plays, and Nahua
Christian Devotions.” By examining the confiscation of passion plays in the
historical context of colonial marketplaces, this article explores how they
became spaces of cultural resilience and socialization, providing Nahuas with a
medium of devotional and artistic transaction that resisted and negotiated with
Spanish continual regulations.
