Resident & Visiting Fellows:
Resident Fellow
Eulogio Guzmán
Eulogio Guzmán holds a Ph.D. in the field of Pre-Columbian Art History from the University
of California Los Angeles. His work focuses on visual culture and the sociopolitical history
of Pre-Conquest Central Mexico and ecclesiastical architecture from the ensuing colonial period.
Eulogio has several publications to his credit and has collaborated on several important studies
critiquing the overuse of the term shaman in Pre-Columbian Studies. While at the Center for Humanities,
he has completed an article length study (currently in review) on the political connotations of
urban development at Teotihuacan, one of Mesoamerica’s most ambitious architectural conurbations.
He is currently completing a book manuscript investigating how the Aztec devised a multifaceted
sculptural and architectural program as part of complex socio-political tactics used to advance
the hegemonic interests of their multi-ethnic polity.
This book will be titled, Sculpting Imperialism: The Diverse Expression of Local Cults and
Corporate Identity in the ‘Two-Tufted’ Figure at the Templo Mayor.
Eulogio teaches a range of courses focusing on the visual culture and urban history of
Pre-Hispanic, Colonial, and Modern Latin America at Tufts University and in the department
of Visual and Critical Studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
