Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2003.

This dissertation examines the visual and written representations of Aztec dance in the works of three 16th-century missionaries (Toribio de Motolinia, Diego Duran, and Bernardino de Sahagun) so as to explore the relationship between choreography (the writing of dance) and historiography (the writing of history) in colonial discourse. It argues that the Aztec dancing body was an idealized figure through which the transformation of the Aztec into a Spanish empire could be historiographically represented.

520 $a This dissertation examines the visual and written representations of Aztec dance in the works of three 16th-century missionaries (Toribio de Motolinia, Diego Duran, and Bernardino de Sahagun) so as to explore the relationship between choreography (the writing of dance) and historiography (the writing of history) in colonial discourse. It argues that the Aztec dancing body was an idealized figure through which the transformation of the Aztec into a Spanish empire could be historiographically represented.
520 $a The arguments put forth in this dissertation draw from and contribute to the fields of colonial Latin American ethnohistory, Aztec studies, and dance studies. To the field of Latin American history this study contributes an analysis of the ways in which dance mediated the encounter between the Spanish and Aztec empires. In particular, it aims to redress the field's oversight of the centrality of dance's configuration within the narratives of conquest and colonization. It also endeavors to contribute to the field of Aztec studies by uncovering a theory of Aztec performance that exceeded colonial intelligibility. It argues that choreography was central to the formation and maintenance of Aztec imperial power. Finally, the dissertation offers the field of dance studies a sustained analysis of the foundation of a dance ethnohistoriograpical tradition by examining the ways in which 16th-century missionaries developed ways of witnessing, writing, and documenting dance necessitated by Aztec choreography.
520 $a Research for this project was conducted at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (Florence, Italy); Museo del Templo Mayor (Mexico City, Mexico); the Smithsonian Institution, Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology (Washington, D.C.); and The New York Public Library, Manuscripts and Archives Division (New York).
