OF LAUGHTER, DESTINATIONS AND METAMORPHOSIS OR THE TEZCATLIPOCA OF GUILHEM OLIVIER. A RECOVERY OF MOTIVES AS A REVIEW OF HIS BOOK TEZCATLIPOCA. TEASING AND METAMORPHOSIS OF AN AZTEC GOD
Abstract
In a playful way "the master of transformations", "sorcerer god", who dwells on earth and in the sky, in the underworld, in all places, in the shadow, hidden, and is "master of destiny" seems to introduce himself to him Guilhem Olivier between laughter, reflections and ups and downs. This presence drags the author of Tezcatlipoca. Burlas y metamorfosis de un dios azteca through more than 300 sources from various disciplines to try to grasp this god "soul of the world", "the damned Lucifer in person" and assess his place within the pantheon of the various pre-Columbian societies of Middle America.
