This presentation examines the conception of religious differences in the conquest of Mexico and the symbolic appropriation of those differences as signifiers for the so-called “Conciencia criolla” (or Americanist consciousness) during the Baroque period. The presentation looks at several variations on the theological conception of American cannibalism as a marker of both similarity and difference between Europe and the New World, between Christianity and the aboriginal religions, and between the metropolis and its imperial periphery. Carlos Jáuregui is an AssistantProfessor of Latin American Literature and Anthropology and Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Vanderbilt University. His book Canibalia received the Casa de las Américas Award (Havana, 2005). He is also the author of Querella de los indios en las “Cortes de laMuerte” (1557) de Michael de Carvajal (México: UNAM, 2002) and co-editor with J. P. Dabove de Heterotropías: narrativas de identidad y alteridad latinoamericana (Pittsburgh: IILI, 2003). Refreshments will be served.
