GONZALEZ DIAZ, Cruz Alberto. Interpreting the Myth of Náhuatl Philosopy Studied from Its Sources, 1956-2006. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.137, pp.179-216. ISSN 2448-7554.

Based on elements of historiographical analysis this essay examines the interpretation of the myth concerning the origin of the gods, the cosmos and man that Miguel León-Portilla elaborated in the Mexican editions of La filosofía náhuatl estudiada en sus fuentes, published between 1956 and 2006; an interpretation that underwent changes and added new aspects for reflection. My objective is to elucidate the historiographical style utilized in the different interpretative currents found in these works based on the assumption of the historiographic turn sketched by Alfonso Mendiola and the Hayden White's tropological theory.

Keywords : historiography; trope; myth; interpretation; historiographic turn.
