| Research Abstract |
This research program has traced the historical process of the intercultural negotiations in the Viceroyalty of Nueva Espana that produced a series of iconographical motifs of the "indigenous" nature and culture that appeared in the decoration of the sixteenth-century mission churches such as the well-known murals in the Convent of Ixmiquilpan. The comparative study between the visual documents such as "codices" made in the colonies and the American imagery invented in Europe after the Age of Discovery shows that those "indigenous" images were formed under the intervention of both European colonizers absorbed in the "exotic" interest toward the newly found territories, and the indigenous elite who reconstructed their cultural identity understanding even such an exoticism of the new rulers.
