ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze traces of Aztec cultural memory recorded in sixteenth-century cultural sources of Central Mexico. It is a study of the particular case of an Aztec hero named Tlacahuepan, whose glorious death was commemorated in many songs and chronicles. The texts in question reveal highly symbolic language, as well as clearly established narrative patterns. The study of their discursive tools can cast considerable light on the ideological background that underlies the oral tradition on which these stories have been based. It can also contribute to a better understanding of the methods and strategies employed by the Aztecs to memorize the past and explain the present.

十六世纪歌曲和编年史中阿兹特克文化记忆的痕迹：特拉卡休潘案例

摘要 本文旨在分析记录在墨西哥中部 16 世纪文化资源中的阿兹特克文化记忆痕迹。这是对阿兹特克英雄 Tlacahuepan 的特殊案例的研究，许多歌曲和编年史都纪念了他的光荣死亡。有问题的文本揭示了高度象征性的语言，以及明确建立的叙事模式。对他们的话语工具的研究可以揭示这些故事所依据的口头传统背后的意识形态背景。它还有助于更好地理解阿兹特克人用来记忆过去和解释现在的方法和策略。
