Abstract

Bernardino de Sahagún is well known for having headed a major research project about the Nahuas of Central Mexico in the sixteenth century. However, many years before this project began, Sahagún wrote several sets of sermons in the Nahuatl language. This article analyzes eleven of these sermons, composed during the 1540s by this zealous Franciscan, possibly with the help of Nahua students and graduates of the Colegio de Tlatelolco. These sermons develop one shared allegory, “the House of the Soul,” by comparing the building elements of an ideal dwelling with doctrinal and moral topics and by contrasting the ways the Nahuas live their lives and build their homes to the ways the Spaniards do. In the approach adopted in this article, the rhetorical and doctrinal features of these sermons are examined, and the information they contain about Nahua households compared with other sources of the period is highlighted.
"你在这里,不要这样做":贝尔纳迪诺-德-萨哈贡的纳瓦特尔语《房屋布道》中的寓言和家庭住宅
贝尔纳迪诺-德-萨阿贡(Bernardino de Sahagún)因在十六世纪领导了一项关于墨西哥中部纳瓦斯人的大型研究项目而闻名于世。然而,在该项目开始之前的许多年,萨阿贡就用纳瓦语写了几套布道。本文分析了其中的 11 篇布道,这些布道是这位热心的方济各会士在 15 世纪 40 年代创作的,可能得到了特拉特洛尔科学院的纳瓦语学生和毕业生的帮助。这些布道通过将理想住所的建筑元素与教义和道德主题进行比较,并将纳瓦尼亚人的生活方式和建造房屋的方式与西班牙人的方式进行对比,发展了一个共同的寓言故事--"灵魂之屋"。本文采用的方法是研究这些布道中的修辞和教义特征,并强调这些布道与当时其他资料相比所包含的有关纳瓦人家庭的信息。

期刊介绍: Ethnohistory reflects the wide range of current scholarship inspired by anthropological and historical approaches to the human condition. Of particular interest are those analyses and interpretations that seek to make evident the experience, organization, and identities of indigenous, diasporic, and minority peoples that otherwise elude the histories and anthropologies of nations, states, and colonial empires. The journal publishes work from the disciplines of geography, literature, sociology, and archaeology, as well as anthropology and history. It welcomes theoretical and cross-cultural discussion of ethnohistorical materials and recognizes the wide range of academic disciplines.
