[Aztlan] Mesoamerican Codex Symposium

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

November 19-21
"Animal Symbolism in the Mesoamerican Codex Tradition"
The aim of the symposium is to lead to high quality instructional  
sessions that integrate language arts, social studies and visual arts.  
The speakers, representing research institutions in the U.S. and  
Mexico, are experts on languages, archaeology and zoo-archaeology, and  
the art of the three best-known regions that produced books – commonly  
referred to as codices – prior to European contact. These areas were  
occupied by the Maya of Yucatan, the Mixtec speakers of southern  
Mexico, and the Aztecs, who lived on the site that is now Mexico City.
The event is built around nine presentations addressing the meanings  
of animals in pre-Historic Mexico and the continuation of these  
cultural traditions beyond the conquest.
The symposium is an opportunity for members of academia to collaborate  
with teachers so that the topic can be introduced in classrooms in New  
Mexico.
Though attendance is free and open to the public, preregistration is  
required, as seating is limited.
