Changes in Ethical Worldviews of Spanish Missionaries in Mexico

A cross-disciplinary analysis of texts from two moments in Spanish writing about Mexican missions between the mid-sixteenth century and the early seventeenth century. The analysis identifies a change in worldviews between these two moments and attempts to explain this change through a shift from a model of vision to a model of touch.
