Interest remains strong in Nahua prehistory, ethnohistory, linguistics, and contemporary culture. Nearly forty institutions and two hundred scholars now subscribe to the Nahua Newsletter. The sessions organized by Nahua specialists at the November meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Chicago were extremely well attended. It is hoped that we continue to exchange ideas in this manner and that the updated and expanded directory in this issue will be useful to individuals organizing symposia, conducting research, and publishing their findings.
This issue contains several requests for papers, news of upcoming symposia, recent publications, and reports of scholarly/research activities. Since there were many new subscribers, some of the items appearing in the previous issue can be found in this one as well. Subscribers are encouraged to continue sending in information of this sort to the Newsletter. Beginning with the next issue, the editor would also welcome short research reports and descriptions/reviews of books.
The next issue of the Nahua Newsletter is planned for October 1988. Subscriptions are free. They are requested by filling out the biographical information form at the end of each issue. The same form can be used to place notes in the Newsletter, and add or update biographical information. Please note that people with an electronic mail address can now include it after their usual address under the "e-mail" tag.
1) Louise Burkhart (The John Carter Brown Library) and Alan Sandstrom (Indiana-Purdue University) are organizing a symposium for the November 16-20, 1988 American Anthropological Association meeting in Phoenix. The working title is "Encountering the Aztecs: Five Centuries of Nahua Culture, History, and Language". Papers should deal with the culture of pre-Conquest, colonial, or modern Nahua speakers. Topics in ethnography, linguistics, ethnohistory, or iconography will be accepted. Those interested in presenting a paper should send the "Proposal for Paper" and "Advanced Registration" forms (January 1988 Anthropology Newsletter), and a check to AAA for registration to: Louise Burkhart, The John Carter Brown Library, Box 1894, Providence, RI, 02912. Materials should be submitted by March 20th.
2) 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 13-17, 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.
3) 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, 15 for Mesoamerica and Central America, 5 for North America, and 2 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."

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) Brad R. Huber (Hamilton College) is interested in acquiring materials for a comparative study of Nahua medical specialists (curers, midwives, etc.) including: a) general demographic information regarding healers (number currently practicing, their age, sex, economic status, etc.), b) the manner by which individuals come to undertake these medical roles, c) methods of diagnosis, treatment, and kinds of illnesses attended, and d) participation in community-wide ritual and government health programs. Published materials which are difficult to find, excerpts from dissertations, and unpublished manuscripts/field notes are especially welcome.
3) 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."
4) 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.
5) 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."
6) 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."
1) Carmen Aguilera (Biblioteca Nacional de Antropologia e Historia) informs us "that the town of Tepeticpac, five minutes from Tlaxcala city had a tradition of making pictorial manuscripts during the colonial period. The most ancient is the historical lienzo drawn in black ink ca. 1537. It consists of a textile piece woven in a fine hard fibre and tells of the wars and settlements of ancient tlaxcaltecans in the hill of Tepeticpac. The iconographical and historical study is almost ready. There are three more 'lienzos' in the town; they are cartographic and in a late style and show the main geographical aspects of the area. Finally, the Sala de Testimonios Pictograficos of the B.N.A.H. keeps a genealogical codex of Tepeticpac and an ancient copy. All these documents will be published as a unit."

10) Yolanda Lastra de Suarez (UNAM) writes that "Las Areas Dialectales del Nahuatl Moderno came out in 1987 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)."
11) 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:
The Bancroft Dialogues are a unique collection of conversations and speeches composed in a flowery but colloquial Nahuatl by a native speaker, probably originally in the late sixteenth century, to serve Spanish ecclesiastics as an introduction to the commonplaces of polite speech. The document is a magnificent set of language lessons. Illustrating greetings, stock metaphors, standard inversions and extensions of kinship terms, and every modulation of the complex honorific formulas, the Dialogues can serve modern learners of Nahuatl as well as they served the Franciscans and Jesuits of past centuries. The material is attractive in itself, covering acts of speech from chitchat among relatives to advice for mischievous boys to royal elegies. Another great asset of the Dialogues is their diacritics; the document is the only known extended running text in older Nahuatl with consistent notation of vowel length and glottal stop.
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."

12) The General Editor of MEXICON, Hanns J. Prem, informs us that "Mexicon was created back in 1979 by a small group of Mesoamericanists in Germany with the aim of providing a much-needed vehicle for the speedy dissemination of news and information to the ever-expanding international circle of scholars and laymen interested in Mesoamerica. Since then, Mexicon has evolved into a full-fledged journal, appearing 6 times a year with an annual volume size of around 120 pages.
Each issue of Mexicon contains:
Mexicon is currently in its 9th year and now reaches about 500 subscribers (both institutions and individuals) representing all continents. Subscription information can be obtained from: Leo P. Biese, Lothrop Memorial Library, Box 79, Murray Hill Road, Hill, NH, 03243, USA.
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) R.A.M. van Zantwijk (University of Utrecht) notes that
"The next International Congress of Americanists will take
place in Amsterdam on 4-8 July 1988. At this moment 25 Nahua-specialists
from all over the world have committed themselves to present
a paper in the Symposium about Aztec Dual structures and Organizations
that I am preparing."

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.

ETHNOHISTORY OF COLONIAL NEW SPAIN. The dissertation ("A Social History of Indian Town Government in the Colonial Cuernavaca Jurisdiction, Mexico, UCLA, 1985) currently being revised for possible publication is an ethnohistorical study relying heavily on internal community records written in Nahuatl. I have or am about to publish articles in the Hispanic American Historical Review and Ethnohistory on related topics. Current research projects include an ongoing study of Nahuatl titulos primordiales from the Cuernavaca region and an ethnohistorical investigation of mining and Indian mine labor in colonial Taxco. A paper on the latter subject will be given at the coming International Congress of Americanists, Amsterdam, July, 1988.

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.

LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY. I have been engaged in a detailed study of the corpus of Early Colonial Nahuatl sources from the heartland of the Central Mexican region. The data extracted from these have in turn been compared with linguistic data collected in the course of this century, with the aim of reconstructing the dialect situation at the close of the Postclassic and beginning of the Colonial Period.
