Free Virtual Lecture- The Obsidian Mirror: Literature and Archaeology in Mexico

Mexican authors Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, José Emilio Pacheco, Salvador Novo, Rubén Bonifaz Nuño and Rosario Castellanos, among others, have sought to use language to recover the links between Mexico’s Indigenous peoples and its contemporary society. Focusing on Mexico’s pre-Hispanic past, Juan Villoro will explore the intimate and evocative relationships among literature, archaeology and culture. Villoro's virtual lecture is part of the Eduardo Matos Moctezuma Lecture Series, which is co-sponsored by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, the Harvard Divinity School, the Moses Mesoamerican Archive, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
