Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Albany, 1999.

The research examined how symbolic power is conveyed through the writings of local-level institutions that challenge the hegemony of colonial systems. The researcher focused on the use of archaeological sources and Spanish and Purhepecha-language documents. The researcher conducted three years of ethnographic fieldwork in the region and collected oral histories from elders in Parangaricutiro in addition to intensively studying colonial-period Purhepecha texts. The texts included the Pindecuario of San Juan Parangaricutiro (1624--1767), located by the researcher in the parish archive of San Juan Nuevo Parangaricutiro.

520 $a The research examined how symbolic power is conveyed through the writings of local-level institutions that challenge the hegemony of colonial systems. The researcher focused on the use of archaeological sources and Spanish and Purhepecha-language documents. The researcher conducted three years of ethnographic fieldwork in the region and collected oral histories from elders in Parangaricutiro in addition to intensively studying colonial-period Purhepecha texts. The texts included the Pindecuario of San Juan Parangaricutiro (1624--1767), located by the researcher in the parish archive of San Juan Nuevo Parangaricutiro.
520 $a The symbolic power of the Tarascan (or Purhepecha) Empire is examined through the study archaeological sites, the complex symbolism embedded in Tarascan metal products, symbolic associations between the natural and supernatural world, the organization of material resources, and the specific symbolism of the body as revealed in the Purhepecha language itself.
520 $a The imposition of colonial Spanish rule in New Spain is discussed with specific reference to the contested domain of power between representatives of Spanish institutions. It is theorized that this contested domain provided a window for the reorganization of power relations within the political hierarchy of colonized Purhepecha communities. The text of the Pindecuario of the pueblo-hospital of San Juan Parangaricutiro provided examples of how local-level practices that of the Spanish Empire. Conclusions illustrate that the lineage system and political hierarchy of the Tarascan Empire were reproduced and transformed by the leaders of the pueblo-hospital during the early colonial period.
520 $a This work challenges the relegation of Tarascan studies to the backwater of Mesoamerica by illuminating archaeological studies which demonstrate long-term occupation of the region, emphasizing evidence for the extensive political and economic organization of the Tarascan Empire and demonstrating colonial Tarascan contributions to and perspectives on the historical record.
