Lewis, Laura A. (2007) From sodomy to superstition: the active pathic and bodily transgressions in New Spain. [in special issue: Sexual Encounters/Sexual Collisions: Alternative Sexualities in Colonial Mesoamerica] Ethnohistory, 54 (1), Winter Issue, 129-157.
Abstract
Engaging primary documents and scholarly debates, this article examines an array of practices in colonial Mexico as it undertakes a discursive account of how gender ideologies informed the politics of discipline and a range of behaviors from atypical sexuality to cross-dressing and witchcraft. It speaks to a lived world set ambiguously between violations of social norms and the uncertainties of official culture as it examines these heterodox practices, especially as they relate to Indians.
