Welcome to Volume 35 of Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos. This journal continues to provide a unique and essential forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research relating to Mexico, broadly defined. Engaging a range of disciplinary frameworks, fields, and approaches, the many articles lined up for publication in the three issues of this volume contribute to understanding and knowledge of contemporary and historical issues. Volume 35 encompasses both a Special Issue titled “On the History of Sexualities in Modern Mexico City / Sobre la historia de las sexualidades y los procesos de modernización en la Ciudad de México” and a Thematic Section titled “V́ınculos controvertidos: flujos, tráficos e intercambios en la relación México-Estados Unidos (1824–1940).” Other forthcoming articles include research on missionaries in Alta California; women’s choirs in convents in New Spain; maternity and feminist visual arts in Mexico City in the 1980s; and twenty-firstcentury migration policies. Turning to this issue (35.1) the four articles offer stimulating and in-depth research essays on matters of health and the criminalization of venereal diseases; electoral politics and Indigenous cosmovisions; representations of Indigenousness in the Porfiriato; and bi-cultural and bi-national musical practices of norteño. In article one, “El enfermo venéreo ¿v́ıctima o criminal? El delito de contagio venéreo en México en la primera mitad del siglo xx,” author Maŕıa del Carmen Zavala Ramı́rez (El Colegio de México) examines the criminalization of venereal diseases in the first half of the twentieth century. Her work discusses medical, moral and legal debates around social norms of masculinity and femininity, opening up complex questions of corporeal privacy and sickness.

True to the vision of this journal, the research articles in this issue of Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos (35.3) provide deep insights into current matters of national and global import, even as they discuss and examine periods ranging between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. The first two articles analyze financial and economic matters. Article one, co-authored by Dr. Fernando Ciaramitaro (Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México) and Dr. Loris De Nardi (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparáıso, Chile) is titled “El régimen fiscal de los donativos en las Indias como alternativa a las asambleas estamentarias europeas: una reinterpretación del imperio (siglos xvi y xvii).” With an innovative text engaging disciplinary frames of economic history and political history, these scholars delve into international financial transactions and control, political negotiations and power dynamics across oceans. They offer a reinterpretation of contexts in the Americas through a European perspective, encompassing and connecting Mexico and the Indies with Mediterranean history and the Spanish imperial system, specifically in terms of raising taxes through voluntary donations. The focus of discussion in the second article remains on governmental and private financial systems, but within the context of the immediate decades following Independence. In “Capital californiano, necesidad presupuestal y cambio poĺıtico: Juan Temple y el arrendamiento de la Casa de Moneda de México, 1827–1857,” Dr. Omar Velasco Herrera (Facultad de Economı́a, unam) considers the murky dealings of high interest rates, licenses, and privileges; of minting coins; and of mines and other national property in a political setting that we would now label as privatizations. In the absence of banking institutions, the role of individuals in governmental financial institutions was prevalent. As Velasco Herrera describes, the new territorial configuration which altered the status of Californians did not restrict commercial relations, but rather

From moneylending to banking, and from justice for victims of human trafficking to impunity after disaster, this issue of Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos includes four stimulating articles that offer thought-provoking and timely discussions. The first two articles both deal with money matters. In the first article, “Moneylending in Myth and Practice in Twentieth-Century Mexico,” Nicole Mottier analyzes the role of moneylenders through a lens of cultural and financial histories. She focuses on campesinos as borrowers in La Comarca Lagunera, in the states of Chihuahua and Durango. Her discussion provides fascinating insights into processes of finan-cial intermediation and the constraints and benefits of informal and institutional borrowing, particularly for those living in relative poverty in rural contexts.

AbstractThis chapter discusses five case studies of dance competition contexts in Mexico, between 1931 and 2016. The Dance of the Old Men (La Danza de los Viejitos) from the Island of Jarácuaro, Lake Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, Mexico, forms the focus. After being appropriated through postrevolutionary governmental processes of nation building in 1923 and simultaneously utilized as an embodiment of Mexicanness for the ever-expanding tourist industry, the Dance of the Old Men has been a corporeal icon of tradition, authenticity, and Indigenousness. Competition environments have enabled the fixing and dissemination of this dance and, in later contexts, the reappropriation of concepts of “tradition.” The five examples include the Cultural Missions; publications for national boarding schools; Night of the Dead entertainment for international and national tourists; locally organized National Indigenous Institute contests; and the Zacán Artistic Contest of the P’urhépecha People.

Eleven fragments of choreographies, corporeal gestures, spatial alignments, and embodiments provide provocative connections to the multiple wars being played out between and in the United States and Mexico—the US wars on drugs, communism, and terror; the US war on and in Mexico; the US/Mexico border war; and the so-called Mexican drug war. The fragments are drawn from the outstanding bilingual and binational interdisciplinary theater piece Timboctou, produced by CalArts, written by Mexican playwright Alejandro Ricaño, and with choreography by Ichi Balmori. Performed by the same ensemble on both sides of the border, the work articulated—in body, voice, space, and time—anxieties and issues concerning multiple wars. Disconnected from the narrative and characters, this chapter offers performative vignettes combined with interpretive, synthetic analysis, challenging readers to take a responsible and ethical witnessing stance as they watch disturbing acts of power, high finance, and politics within transnational frameworks.

Transnational and bilingual research and pedagogical collaborations are key components of this journal. I am therefore pleased to bring to publication this Special Issue on Contemporary Return Migration from the United States to Mexico – Focus on Children, Youth, Schools and Families. Ably guest edited by Dr. V́ıctor Zúñiga of el Tecnologico de Monterrery, México and Dr. Rubén Hernández-León of the University of California, Los Angeles, USA, this issue comprises six articles and an Introduction co-authored by senior and emerging scholars in Mexico and the USA, offering models of binational collaboration. At this moment in USA history, when the rhetoric of wall-building, antiimmigration, and divisive political speech at the highest level are a daily presence, many concerns and solutions discussed in this Special Issue are deeply relevant and timely. By way of a call to action, Patricia Gándara’s final piece – ‘‘Policy Report*Informe: The Students We Share * L@s estudiantes que compartimos’’ – is an appeal for binational collaboration, specifically in relation to the extraordinary resource embodied by children, youth and young adults for whom a multiplicity of cultural and linguistic experiences is a norm. As Gándara notes in her Policy Report: ‘‘Perhaps the most important thing that must happen first is that we must come to see these young people for the enormous potential they represent. This is a truly binational generation, with knowledge, understanding, and perspectives drawn from both sides of the border, with an emerging biliteracy that will make them critical resources for both Mexico and the United States. Given the opportunity, these young people can be the new brokers of culture and communication that can spur the economies of both nations’’ (365). In my own teaching at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I experience this rich complexity with the many undergraduate and graduate students who are biliterate, who move across and through boundaries and borders of social and

Fifteenth- and sixteenth-centuryMexicawriting utilized a largely pictorial system in which bodies undertaking actions (pictorial-iconic presentation) and hieroglyphic text were used to both document and communicate information. Between 2006 and 2010, one of Mexico's most renowned innovative and interdisciplinary performance ensembles, La Máquina de Teatro, worked withMexicadocuments and sculptures in the creation of itsTrilogía Mexicana(Mexican Trilogy). I discuss fragments of the performance and studio-based creative processes as they translated from the wordless fifteenth- and sixteenth-century writing into an embodied, corporeal, moving form for a twenty-first-century performance stage, specifically aiming to explore notions of memory, temporality, history, and postdramatic theatre.

Gradually, at center-front stage, they collectively construct a single-layer square platform of bricks—a stage on a stage. Standing side by side behind the square of bricks, the actors leap into the air in unison, gesturing upward. Together they take a step onto the brick stage, facing the audience square on. The actors gaze out into the darkness of the auditorium, staring directly at the audience, as intensive bright lights shine in their faces, illuminating expressions of fear and terror. Pressed together they form a tight cluster of bodies. Standing huddled, the bodies push, touch, crouch, and lean sideways, falling … falling as one body, in slow motion, bodies...
