description This article delves into the literary tradition of one of the most established cultures of ancient Mexico: the Aztec Náhuatl culture. In this case, the Cuícatl [songs] of the Aztec Nahuatl prince Acomiztli (1402- 1469) and their main lyric topics are discussed in this article. These writings are interpreted from the point of view of literary anthropology, which understands the text as a fragment of a culture; where the center of the analysis involves the creator-subject and his interaction with the environment. Therefore, we begin with concepts such as Náhuatl culture, cuícatl and religious world view, among others. This study seeks to externalize both the message of freedom and hope delivered by the prehispanic cuica - picqui [songwriter] in his Cuícatl , and the contribution of Aztec Náhuatl culture to Latin American literature.

Este artículo muestra el aspecto literario de uno de las culturas más desarrolladas del México antiguo: el pueblo azteca - náhuatl. Para este caso, se consideran los Cuícatl de Acomiztli (1402-1469). Suobjetivo es develar los temas que sustentan la lírica de este príncipe de la cultura azteca - náhuatl. Para ello, se ha considerado una interpretación de los escritos desde la antropología literaria, que entiende el texto como fragmento de una cultura, por lo que el centro del análisislo constituye el sujeto creador y su interacción con el entorno. De esa forma, se parte de conceptos, tales como: cultura náhuatl, cuícatl y visión de mundo religiosa, entre otros. Con ello, se busca exteriorizar, tanto el mensaje de libertad y esperanza que plasmó el cuicapicqui (forjador de cantos) prehispánico en sus Cuícatl, como la contribución del pueblo azteca náhuatl a las letras latinoamericanas. Palabras clave: cultura náhuatl, cuícatl, evasión, visión de mundo religiosa, visión fatalista, raíz mítica indígena.
