Abstract

The book "Investigaciones Educativas" (Educational Research), coordinated by Joaquín Hernández González and written by Eduardo Weiss, compiles research papers that address various topics related to pedagogy, bureaucratic and technocratic domination, curriculum analysis, levels and modalities of the school system, situated learning, studies on teachers and students, and the gender perspective. The prologue written by Joaquín Hernández highlights Weiss's academic trajectory and his influence on public policy decisions and educational programs in Mexico. The book also includes chapters on young graffiti artists and violence among girls, revealing the importance of upper secondary education for young people and their families. Weiss's research has influenced educational policy and offers important theoretical and methodological contributions for decision-making in this field. [Extracted from the article]

26. Descendants of Aztec Pictography: The Cultural Encyclopedias of Sixteenth-Century Mexico.

Author

Jonker, Matthijs

Subjects
AZTECS, PICTURE-writing, CATHOLIC priests
Abstract

The main genres of these pictographic books were the annals of the Aztec rulers and their conquests, the divinatory almanac, and the tribute list of the goods that the Aztecs demanded from subordinate regions. Here Boone argues that Aztec pictography occupies a position between two European graphic traditions: alphabetic writing and pictorial illusionism. With the help of their indigenous informants, the friars produced new pictorial codices that were meant to explain Mesoamerican culture to their colleagues and to administrators in Mexico and Europe.
