With the intention of contributing to the works on the dissemination and reception of an author and his work, this article aims to present the first results of a long-term investigation on Ignacio de Loyola and his work Spiritual Exercises, in a space well defined, Mexico, in the viceregal period and the 19th century. The periodization of the work is limited by the oldest edition located, 1596 and the third suppression of the Society of Jesus in Mexico. The text was constructed from the existing copies in the libraries of the Mexican Republic. In addition to the research on the exercises of the Basque saint, he is aware of some Jesuit writers who treated different aspects related to the Ignatian exercises. So far, the results of the investigation showed an apparently small diffusion of the book of exercises, unlike the works of his brothers of order, as far as the reception of the books and the practice of the exercises could be noticed a wide reception not only among ecclesiastics, but among women, nuns, and even lay people.

The cover version updates and transforms a song previously recorded. Its scope goes from imitation to the production of a brand new theme song, from tribute to deconstruction, from concealment to commentary, critical interpretation and satire. In the study of cover versions, the concept of "original" is problematic. Therefore alternative notions such as reference cover version, current cover version, basic song, dominant o hegemonic cover version are put forward in order to designate specific functions. The relationship between a cover version and its "original" song as well as with other cover versions is linked to the philosophical problem of the identity and the modes of existence of popular songs. The main theories on this subject vary from the assertion of the ontological status of the autographical-eternal song, to the perception of popular music as a huge intertextual network in which each song is en enunciation-performance of a code, or general system of communication broadly shared, that produces similar entities. The study of the conditions for the identification of a cover version has taken into account the socio-cognitive processes that regulate the dynamics of second grade orality or mediatized orality.
