dc.description.abstractSmoke and Mirrors This essay explores the author's budding mystical relation, still in early development, with the Aztec deity Tezcatlipoca. The first part of the text is comprised of two parallel narratives mirroring each other, one human, the other divine. The twin journeys begin at the mutilating event of birth, followed by a scattering of the resulting fragments. The pieces are joined together through the mimetic practices of divine personification, devotional fiction, and the making of fetishes. At each step, anthropological and psychoanalytical approaches are blended with revelations through dreams and waking visions, both approaches held in equal esteem.-
dc.description.sponsorshipUHasselt, PXL MAD I would like to thank my co-promoter Nadia Sels for encouraging me to write the article. Nadia, you have always provided me with the rare mixture of a real empathy and respect for the artistic process coupled with the rigor and tough love that produces real intellectual growth. Many thanks as well to my second co-promoter Bert Willems for the constant support along the whole PhD process and for always asking the right questions. Muchísimas gracias to Maria Gil Ulldemolins for the special Spanish treatment in all our correspondence. This research has been made possible by the support of PXL MAD and Uhasselt.-
