Abstract
De acuerdo con Octavio Paz, si la Chingada es una representación de la Madre violada, no es forzado asociarla a la Conquista, que fue también una violación, no solamente en el sentido histórico, sino en la carne misma de las indias (1). Elaborado por la imaginación popular mexicana a partir del personaje histórico de Doña Marina (2), el mito de la Chingada, es decir el asalto de un conquistador a una mujer indígena indefensa, es una de las imágenes más apropiadas para representar el llamado "encuentro de dos culturas". La Chingada - dice O. paz-, es ante todo la Madre, "no de carne y hueso sino una figura mítica", "una de las representaciones mexicanas de la Maternidad", "la madre que ha sufrido, metafórica o realmente, la acción corrosiva e infamante implícita en el verbo que le da nombre".This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public, encourages greater global exchange of knowledge.
