Female Roles in the Religious Rituals and Political Performances among the pre-Colonial and Colonial Nahua
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The work presented is part of a larger study dedicated to the place of women in the Nahua oral tradition and focuses on one of the aspects of this subject, namely on the set of roles performed by female protagonists in the artistic manifestations of religious and political contexts. An analysis of the archetypical women’s roles in the song-dances (in Nahuatl: cuicatl) registered in various colonial manuscripts, as well as in the indigenous myths, leads to important considerations on the idealized vision of women in the investigated culture.
