Conversion and Conservation: Mexica Featherwork, the Miraculous, and Early Modern European Practices of Collecting

mosaicos plumarios Nueva España misiones franciscanas Bernardino de Sahagún arte náhuatl descubrimiento de América crónicas de indias Kunstkammer Virgen de Guadalupe invenzione

Resumen

Este ensayo investiga el impacto del Encuentro de América, en particular de las misiones franciscanas, en la producción cultural de la Nueva España. Se concentra especialmente en investigar el rol que jugaron los mosaicos plumarios mexica-cristianos en la conversión de indígenas, a la vez que transmitían la invenzione artística de los mexicas a coleccionistas europeos. El ensayo pretende estudiar la re-contextualización de los mosaicos plumarios después de que cruzaron el Atlántico, es decir, la transformación de estos objetos rituales en objetos estéticos y explora la relación entre el arte mestizo y la conversión religiosa.
