Prof. Mosquera to publish journal article

Daniel O. Mosquera, assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies, has had an article accepted for publication in the Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (14:2) to be published this year. The article is titled "Consecrated Transactions: Of Marketplaces, Passion Plays, and Nahua Christian Devotions." By examining the confiscation of passion plays in the historical context of colonial marketplaces, this article explores how they became spaces of cultural resilience and socialization, providing Nahuas with a medium of devotional and artistic transaction that resisted and negotiated with Spanish continual regulations.
