Dancing on the Sun Stone is a uniquely transdisciplinary work that fuses modern Latin American history and literature to explore women’s lives and gendered politics in Mexico. In this important work, scholar Marjorie Becker focuses on the complex Mexican women of rural Michoacán who performed an illicit revolutionary dance and places it in dialogue with Nobel Prize winner Octavio Paz’s signature poem, “Sun Stone”—allowing a new gendered history to emerge. Through this dialogue, the women reveal intimate and intellectual complexities of Mexican women’s gendered voices, their histories, and their intimate and public lives. The work further demonstrates the ways these women, in dialogue with Paz, transformed history itself. Becker’s multigenre work reconstructs Mexican history through the temporal experiences of crucial Michoacán females, experiences that culminate in their complex revolutionary dance, which itself emerges as a transformative revolutionary language.

The event horizon of a Black Hole has been discovered reading the ≥ 500 years old Aztec ‘Sun Stone’ almanac glyphs and it has been called Tezcatlipoca in honours to the Mesoamerican God, the ‘Smoking Mirror’. The astronomical phenomenon is guessed to cause the mass extinction between Triassic and Jurassic, the one involving the rising of the Archosauria, from aquatic carnivorous PlacoDontoidae super-family into terrestrial herbivorous Zanclodon laevis (Ladinian – Carnian age). Furthermore, a serendipity conjecture about the European colonization of the American continent before 1492 and the biological identifications of theological Demulge family [Noah, Naamah and their three children (Shem, Ham and Josphet)] emerged via syncretism.
