    • Abstract:
      Los ensayos de Octavio Paz sobre Mesoamérica --una faceta poco estudiada por la crítica y mal conocida por el gran público-- revelan la mirada penetrante del poeta, y no de un especialista, sobre el mundo antiguo de México, sobre su cosmogonía y sus producciones artísticas siempre ligadas a una dimensión religiosa. Pero el poeta va más allá de la antropología y del saber en sí mismo, para subrayar la persistencia de esta cosmogonía en los mexicanos de hoy y en la cual, asimismo, se encuentran los principales fundamentos de su poética. Es a través de esta constancia que hace emerger dos Méxicos distintos, como Octavio Paz interpreta los acontecimientos de 1968 y la insurrección zapatista de 1994. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Octavio Paz's essays on Mesoamerica --a facet little studied by critics and poorly known by the general public-- reveal the penetrating gaze of the poet, not of a specialist, on the ancient world of Mexico, its cosmogony and artistic productions always linked to a religious dimension. But the poet goes beyond anthropology and knowledge in itself, to underline the persistence of this cosmogony in Mexicans at present and also as encountered in the main foundations of his poetics. It is through this constancy that two different Mexicos emerge, as Octavio Paz interprets the events of 1968 and the Zapatista insurrection of 1994. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
