THE EXISTENCE OF A NOVOHISPANIC COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS IN ALBOROTO Y MOTÍN DE INDIOS DE MÉXICO

This research paper analyses how Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora describes the pair fest-revolt in Alboroto y motín de indios de México. This study is divided into five parts. The first one takes as its starting point the concept of the polis and regulations for the common good. The second one alludes to the effect that Spanish splendor produces in the different members of the Novohispanic polis. The third part examines the active role of female Indigenous in the revolt’s organization and development. Finally, in the fifth part, I propose the existence of a plebeian collective consciousness within the viceroyalty of New Spain
