Requests for assistance

1) Roger B. Coon (Indiana-Purdue at Ft. Wayne) asks that anyone with Huasteca Nahuatl materials that they are willing to share is welcome to contact him.

2) Piotr Klafkowski writes that "I am very interested in any available Nahuatl language recordings and any contemporary writings in various dialects, including Bible translations (Classical and modern), as well as in any attempts at creating literary works in Nahuatl. I have done research in the same problem on the Tibetan and Celtic materials, and my chief general interest is how minority languages can develop when facing an overpowering major language, and what role can be played in the language survival process by emerging literatures. I would gladly correspond with those of similar interest, to get a Nahuatl perspective. I am also interested in Yucatec Maya."

3) R. W. Wright is also interested in obtaining self-instruction materials, particularly cassette tapes by which the Nahuatl and Quechua languages might be learned. Readers with information on self-instruction materials are asked to contact Klafkowski or Wright. The editor would also be pleased to publish information about these materials in the next issue of the Nahua Newsletter.

4) Ann Millard (Michigan State University) "would like to hear from those interested in giving presentations at a meeting and in publishing on Nahua ideas and behavior concerning reproduction and on the household in regard to economic activities, including pooling and reciprocity."

5) Frans J. Schryer (University of Guelph) asks whether anyone has "come across any archival references that refer to the following native pueblos located in the region of Huejutla, state of Hidalgo: Jaltacon (Xaltocan), Santa Cruz, Panacaxtlan, Ixcatlan, Chiquemecatitla, Macuxtepetla? I am particularly interested in the l8th century and early 19th century."

Recent Publications

1) Barry L. Isaac (ed) ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PREHISPANIC HIGHLAND MEXICO, Supplement 2 of Research in Economic Anthropology, 1986. Greenwich, CT: JAI Press Inc.
The following five essays in Economic Aspects of Prehispanic Highland Mexico are on the Aztec Period. They are:
Prehispanic Roadways, Transport Network Geometry, and Aztec Politico-Economic Organization in the Basin of Mexico, by Robert S. Santley
The Division of Labor at Xico: The Chipped Stone Industry, by Elizabeth M. Brumfiel
Enterprise and Empire in Aztec and Early Colonial Mexico, by Frances F. Berdan
Famine and Scarcity in the Valley of Mexico, by Ross Hassig
Notes on Obsidian, the Pochteca, and the Position of Tlatelolco in the Aztec Empire, by Barry L. Isaac

2) J. Jorge Klor de Alva (SUNY-Albany) notes that all books published by the IMS are now solely distributed by the University of Texas Press.

3) Donald V. Kurtz (Wisconsin) recently published "The Economics of Urbanization and State Formation at Teotihucan," CURRENT ANTHROPOLOGY 28:329-353, 1987. A follow-up to this research will be presented at the ICAES meetings in Zagreb in July, 1988.

4) Yolanda Lastra de Suarez (UNAM) writes that Las Areas Dialectales del Nahuatl Moderno came out this year even though the date of publication is 1986. It is a typological study of 92 sites of present-day Nahuatl which includes the original data in order to make it available to researchers who may wish to interpret it for their own purposes. The book can be ordered directly from Publicaciones, Instituto de Invest. Antropologicas, UNAM, CU, Mexico, D.F., 04510, Mexico. Price: $20.00 (US) includes air mail (books get lost by surface mail)."

5) James Lockhart (UCLA) notes "Now that the first volume of our Nahuatl Studies Series (The Testaments of Culhuacan, edited by S.L. Cline and Miguel Leon-Portilla) has gone out of print, another has been published. I hereby announce the appearance of THE ART OF NAHUATL SPEECH: THE BANCROFT DIALOGUES, edited with a preliminary study by Frances Karttunen and myself. The following passage from the book's cover gives an adequate notion of its characteristics:

In the present publication, the text is printed with full reproduction of its diacritics for the first time. An up-to-date idiomatic English translation faces the Nahuatl, and a second, more literal translation is presented separately, primarily as an aid to learners. A substantial preliminary study discusses the origin of the document, goes deeply into questions of usage and idiom, and provides extensive commentary on the phonological and morphological implications of the Dialogues' diacritics.

I emphasize especially (1) that the preliminary study is of near monograph size, occupying half the volume, (2) that the original document with translation constitutes one of the best sets of lessons ever devised for learning the subtleties of older Nahuatl and is ideal as a corpus of materials for an advanced Nahuatl class to work with, and (3) that the translated document gives even readers without much Nahuatl a vivid human experience and a good sense of the tone of polite society in indigenous central Mexico.

In the externals, the appearance of the pages is more polished than was the case with the first volume. The book is paperback, consists of 232 pages, and sells for $16.50 plus tax and postage."

Items of interest

1) R. Joe Campbell (Latin American Studies, Indiana University) and Marc Eisinger (IBM, Paris) have completed the task of putting the Nahuatl of the Florentine Codex into machine readable form. From this corpus, Eisinger and Campbell are compiling a Nahuatl Word-Index to the Florentine Codex, and Campbell and Mary Clayton (Spanish and Portuguese, Indiana University) are preparing a concordance for use in constructing a Dictionary of the Florentine Codex. Plans are to later make the concordance available on microfiche. Clayton is currently preparing an edition of Ayer ms. 1478, the so-called Vocabulario trilingue, accompanied by a Nahuatl sort of the word-list and a detailed study of the work.

2) Paul Proulx indicates that he has several volumes to dispose of that may be of interest to readers. Those interested may write him with an offer: Paul Proulx, General Delivery, Heatherton, N.S. BOH IRO Canada.

Call for Papers

1) Mary H. Preuss (Editor, Latin American Indian Literatures Journal) notes that "Nahua scholars are invited to submit manuscripts for consideration of publication in LAIL Journal. Manuscripts should not be longer than 20 type-written, double-spaced pages and must deal principally with some aspect of literature. Bibliographies should follow the literary recommendations of the Chicago Manual of Style. Send to: Editor, LAIL Journal, Dept. of Foreign Languages, Geneva College, Beaver Falls, PA, 10510-3599.

Also, LAILA/ALILA will hold its annual symposium in Guatemala City in June 10-17, 1988; and we hope that a large number of Nahuaists participate. There will be pre and post session tours to areas of indigenous interest." Details for the symposium can be found on the following page.

2) Terry Stocker (University of West Florida) writes that "I am organizing a symposium on 'New World Figurine Studies' for the 1989 SAA meetings. I now have 3 papers for South America, 10 for Mesoamerica and Central America, two for North America, and two on methodology. These papers will be published as a volume under the same name. The emphasis is on illustrations but participants are invited to address any aspect of figurine studies that they wish."

AZTEC "ETHNOHISTORY", STUDY OF AZTEC USE OF HISTORY, RELIGION, TIME/SPACE, CONCEPTIONS OF RULERSHIP. My dissertation was entitled "Aztec Prehistory as Postconquest Dialogue: A Structural Analysis of the Royal Dynasty of Tenochtitlan". I am currently revising and expanding the dissertation into a book. I also organized a symposium for the 1986 SAA meetings on Mesoamerican Conceptions of Rulership, in which I gave a talk on Aztec conceptions, focused on the concept of the "stranger-king" and compared how the Aztecs used this conception as compared to other societies in Africa and Polynesia.

NAHUATL DIALECTS. Learning the language from J.R. Andrews' "Introduction to Classical Nahuatl". Interested in history of Nahuatl literature and the developments from Classical Nahuatl to contemporary dialects, and in the social history of Classical Nahuatl. No research projects defined yet due to working in isolation, but one of my interests is in comparisons between Nahuatl, Indo-European, and Tibetan.

We spent 1985-86 conducting research in a small Nahua village in Northern Veracruz. I am currently writing an ethnographic sketch of the village, based on over two years of field research. Pamela and I are continuing work on a comprehensive bibliography of post-1900 anthropological studies of Nahua culture, society, and language.

CONTEMPORARY NAHUA-SPEAKERS IN HUASTECA REGION.

I am now starting a new ethnohistorical research project on the same region, focusing on variations in the social structure (especially internal administration of Nahua communities going back to the late 18th century, and focusing on the 19th century).

I have been involved in an archaeological project investigating rural social and economic organization in western Morelos during Late Postclassic times. Three sites southwest of Cuernavaca were excavated in 1986 and artifact analysis is now in progress. Among the research questions being addressed are the nature and extent of craft specialization and social stratification in rural areas, the impact of Mexica conquest in Morelos, and household and community level social organization. Other research projects include a joint study of the Aztec empire with colleagues from the 1987 Summer Seminar at Dumbarton Oaks, ethnographic and ethnohistorical studies of ceramic usage, and archaeological studies of trade and exchange in Aztec central Mexico.

MYTHOLOGY, SOCIAL ORGANIZATION, CHANGE. During the last five years I have conducted fieldwork in Spain to collect stories from oral tradition to compare with stories of Spanish origin I collected in Sierra Nahuat communities in Puebla, Mexico. To facilitate the comparison of cognate or parallel narratives, I have also collected ethnographic data connected to the symbolic content of the Spanish tales. My most recent publications include "'Hansel and Gretel' in Spain and Mexico," Journal of American Folklore 99 (394): 435-460, which appeared in 1986, and Nahuat Myth and Social Structure (Austin: University of Texas Press) which appeared in 1983.

NAHUATL AND MAYA LITERATURES. The interaction between the prehispanic educational system and methods, and the European Franciscan education in Mexico in the 16th century. The Franciscan Friars, practical humanists indeed, applied themselves to the study of the native languages and culture, founded primary schools and secondary schools. New teaching materials were elaborated as a result of the transatlantic encounter.
