ABSTRACT

Mapping is an established practice by which people represent, explore, and share their understandings of geography. While cartographic products have become the dominant medium for this, there are many ways of expressing spatial knowledge, providing a rich opportunity to understand different forms in which people recreate, navigate, and understand their landscape. This research explores how Nahuas in Mixtla de Altamirano, Veracruz, Mexico, build tochan, their space called “house,” and how this knowledge is transmitted orally over time. This shows the potential that oral narratives have to inform and decolonize historical and archaeological knowledge and to lead us to revaluate our own spatial thinking.

Tochan,“我们所有人的房子”:通过纳华口述叙事去殖民化空间

摘要

地图绘制是一种既定的实践,人们通过它来代表、探索和分享他们对地理的理解。虽然制图产品已成为这方面的主要媒介,但表达空间知识的方式有很多,为理解人们重新创造、导航和理解其景观的不同形式提供了丰富的机会。这项研究探讨了墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州 Mixtla de Altamirano 的 Nahuas 如何建造tochan,他们的空间被称为“房子”,以及这些知识如何随着时间的推移通过口头传播。这表明口头叙述具有告知和非殖民化历史和考古知识的潜力,并引导我们重新评估我们自己的空间思维。
