Help! (second thoughts)

[John Sullivan]

Notequixpoyohuan,
	Este verano en Yale, una de mis alumnas, Nicole Hughes, estudiante de doctorado en Historia del Arte en la U de Chicago, trajo una serie de documentos relacionados con presentaciones teatrales de tipo exemplum realizadas por comunidades indígenas. El nombre para estas representaciones era neixcuitilli, aunque la palabra se refiere más, creo, a la moraleja de la obra. No sé si tiene algo que ver con el contexto del documento referido en esta discusión.
