Abstract
O centro da Cidade do México ergueu-se sobre e com os escombros de México-Tenochtitlan, capital do chamado Império Asteca, pelos espanhóis que aproveitaram o
antigo traçado urbano e a localização dos edifícios de poder ameríndios e criaram seu centro político ao redor de uma praça monumental. A pesquisa demonstra as
permanências indígenas na linguagem visual da maior cidade da América Hispânica
a partir de seu centro de poder, o Zócalo, nome pelo qual é popularmente conhecida
a Praça da Constituição da Cidade do México. Desta forma, busca-se desconstruir
discursos eurocêntricos pautados no ato civilizatório e modernizador da narrativa
colonizadora e trazer os saberes e fazeres ameríndios para a gênese da constituição
do sistema barroco hispano-americano.
Mexico City¿s centre was raised over with the debris of México-Tenochtitlan, the ancient capital of the Aztec Empire, by the Spaniards, who took advantage of the old urban design and the location of the representative buildings of powers around a large square. The research demonstrates the indigenous permanence in the visual language of the most prominent Hispanic American city from its centre of power, the Zócalo, the popular name of the Constitution Square of Mexico City. Besides, it aims to deconstruct eurocentric discourses guided by the civilising and modernising act of colonial narrative and bring theAmerindian knowledge and skills to the genesis of the constitution of the Spanish-American Baroque system.
