the place-moments
The Aztec world view:
“the place-moments” (“lugares momentos”)
…gods, time and space were inextricably linked
…to focus on the process of becoming
…time and space are NOT abstract, but are complexes of space and time
The Codex Xolotl
A hybrid construction
Map + Story-telling
Events are linked by footsteps and dotted lines between places…
They are different from Western maps, which emphasize respresentation of space:
The Codex Xolotl is a representation of time and space together.
