Enrique Rodriguez-Alegria Display, Production, and Power in colonial Mexico This Minority Research and Training Post-Doctoral Fellowship project examines the roles of production, exchange, and display of material culture in the transformation of ideologies and power in colonial Mexico. By using archaeological and historical data, the researcher will compare the use and production of both pottery and cloth in sixteenth-century Mexico City and Xaltocan, an indigenous community in the Basin of Mexico. In this comparative study he will examine the role of imports and traditional Aztec crafts in strategies of display in a rural community and an urban center, and show how production of pottery and cloth changed in the early colonial period. By placing the data on craft production and display in a wider social, cultural, and historical context, the researcher will then address issues of the relationship between craft production, consumption, display, and the formation of ideologies that supported class stratification in colonial Mexico. The project will begin in Mexico, in the summer of 2003. He will excavate in Xaltocan to study colonial ceramics in the site and compare them with ceramics from Mexico City. During this phase of the project he will work with Elizabeth Brumfiel. He will then go to the Museum of Anthropology of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where he will compare a subsample of 250 ceramic sherds from Xaltocan with the collections from Mexico at the Museum. At Ann Arbor, the PI will work under the supervision of Jeffrey Parsons, his NSF post-doctoral fellowship sponsoring scientist, who will help identify the appropriate collections for comparison between Late Aztec and Early Colonial ceramics and will guide the PI's research on these ceramics to obtain the data necessary to understand changes in production. The researcher will also send the subsample of 250 ceramic sherds for chemical characterization to study the ceramics. provenience. Finally, he will go to Spain to study cloth use and production in Mexico with historical documents at the Archivo General de Indias in Seville. In Spain he will work under the supervision of Jose Hernandez Palomo, who will help him identify the appropriate documents and plan how to obtain the information needed for this phase of the project. This study will be of broad impact to studies of cultural change in colonial situations. It will provide a model that resolves some of the quandaries that have plagued archaeological studies of "acculturation" by focusing on how actors used material culture in their strategies for transforming power in the colonial period. Furthermore, this project will impact theories of ideology and power by focusing on production and consumption in a period in which status and social classes were in unprecedented flux, as were ideologies and their material aspects. Through this study, The research will show that ideologies were manipulated, expressed, and even embodied through mundane objects of daily life, and in the activities in which these objects were made and used.

Enrique Rodriguez-Aregria在殖民地墨西哥的展示、生产和权力这个少数民族研究和培训博士后奖学金项目考察了物质文化的生产、交换和展示在殖民墨西哥意识形态和权力转变中的作用。通过使用考古和历史数据，研究人员将比较16世纪墨西哥城和墨西哥盆地土著社区萨尔托坎的陶器和布料的使用和生产。在这项比较研究中，他将考察进口和传统阿兹特克工艺品在农村社区和城市中心展示策略中的作用，并展示早期殖民时期陶器和布料的生产是如何变化的。通过将工艺生产和展示的数据置于更广泛的社会、文化和历史背景下，研究人员将解决工艺生产、消费、展示和支持殖民时期墨西哥阶级分层的意识形态形成之间的关系问题。该项目将于2003年夏天在墨西哥开始。他将在萨尔托坎挖掘，研究遗址中的殖民陶瓷，并将它们与墨西哥城的陶瓷进行比较。在该项目的这一阶段，他将与伊丽莎白·布伦菲尔合作。然后，他将前往密歇根大学安娜堡分校的人类学博物馆，在那里他将把来自萨尔托坎的250件陶瓷碎片的亚样本与博物馆的墨西哥收藏品进行比较。在Ann Arbor，PI将在他的NSF博士后奖学金赞助科学家Jeffrey Parsons的指导下工作，Jeffrey Parsons将帮助确定适当的收藏品，用于比较阿兹特克晚期和殖民地早期的陶瓷，并指导PI对这些陶瓷的研究，以获得了解生产变化所需的数据。研究人员还将发送250个陶瓷碎片的子样本进行化学表征，以研究陶瓷。出处。最后，他将前往西班牙，在塞维利亚的印第安人档案馆学习墨西哥的布料使用和生产。在西班牙，他将在何塞·埃尔南德斯·帕洛莫的监督下工作，后者将帮助他确定适当的文件，并计划如何获得该项目这一阶段所需的信息。这一研究将对殖民时期文化变迁的研究产生广泛的影响。它将提供一个模型，通过关注行动者如何在殖民时期将物质文化用于他们的权力转移战略，来解决困扰考古学研究的一些困惑。此外，这个项目将通过关注生产和消费来影响意识形态和权力理论，在这个时代，地位和社会阶级处于前所未有的变化之中，意识形态及其物质方面也是如此。通过这项研究，研究将表明，意识形态被操纵，表达，甚至体现在日常生活中的世俗物品，以及这些物品被制造和使用的活动中。
