Resumo
El presente artículo es un esfuerzo interpretativo del diálogo sostenido por los primeros doce franciscanos llegados a México con los ancianos mexicas. Inicialmente presentamos los acontecimientos narrados en los Coloquios y doctrina cristiana, recogidos por Bernardino de Sahagún, en su Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España. Después de hacer un análisis textual del documento, adelantamos unas hipótesis en las que manifestamos la verdadera intencionalidad de imposición religiosa por parte de los frailes y, por otro lado, el inicio de la resistencia indígena, no desde la confrontación directa, sino desde un aceptar parcialmente la nueva propuesta, sin abandonar su cosmovisión más profunda.
Abstract
This article is an interpretative endeavor of the dialogue which the first twelve Franciscans to arrive to Mexico maintained with the elder mexicas. Foremost, we present the events narrated in the Colloquia and Christian Doctrine, collected by Bernardino de Sahagún, in his Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva España. After a textual analysis of the document, we bring forward many hypotheses where the true intentionality of religious imposition by the friars, is manifested, and on the other hand, the beginning of the Indigenous resistance not from direct confrontation, but from a partial acceptance of the new proposal without renouncing to their deepest cosmovision.
