This workshop will explore the varied legacy of La Malinche, the young Mexican woman who played a central role in the sixteenth-century overthrow of the Aztec empire.  La Malinche occupies a position of almost unparalleled importance in imaginative constructions of Mexican nationalist identity.  The workshop will examine her resonance in literature, art and popular culture.  The event will bring together a very distinguished group of internationally prominent scholars, including historians, literary critics, and art historians, to discuss the meanings associated with and significance of this iconic figure.
