La investigación de los documentos pictográficos se ha desarrollado mucho durante las últimas dé-cadas. Aunque recientemente las diferencias son cada vez menos claras, en este ámbito de estudio se pueden reconocer cinco escuelas y tradiciones de investigación, cada una con su propio objetivo y metodología. En el siguiente texto se presenta una descripción general de las escuelas y tradiciones con unas reflexiones sobre sus métodos. Sin pretender ser exhaustivo por el limitado espacio, el objetivo es dar una idea sobre el desarrollo de la investigación e indicar algunos problemas y directrices para futuros estudios. PALABRAS CLAVE: pictografía mesoamericana, método de investigación About Traditions and Methods: Pictographic ResearchResearch on pictographic documents has strongly evolved during the last few decades. Even though their differences have become less clear, five schools of thought can be distinguished, each one with its own objectives and methodologies.This paper makes a general description of the schools and traditions on this field, and reflects on their methods.Without pretending to be an exhaustive analysis, due to space constraints, the author's goal is to shed some light on the evolution of research and to point out some problems and a few guidelines for future studies.

“…Kubler states, discussing the Mexican churchyard crosses of this period, "there can be no doubt that the pre-Conquest symbolism of heart sacrifice was intended, in order to reinforce the Christian meaning of the crucifixion among recently converted natives" (Kubler 1964:27-28).

The Roman Catholic devotion to the Sacred Heart, symbolized by a realistically depicted human heart, often flaming, first appeared in Europe in the seventeenth century. Officially sanctioned by the visions of a French nun in 1673–1675, the devotion had in fact been proselytized by liberal French theologians from the beginning of that century. During the prior century, realistic human hearts appear in Mexican colonial art, probably the missionaries' efforts to transliterate Preconquest symbols into Christian icons. This paper suggests that the fervent interest of humanistic European theologians in the Mexican missionary field resulted from stimulus diffusion in the development of the Catholic devotion addressed to Jesus' human heart.

“…191 In contrast, studies within art history have produced not accounts of the reshaping of European material history but, rather, vignettes of the "odds and ends of native ornament, torn from context and repeated as 'empty' decorative themes." 192 Almost all visual explorations of the impact of the Americas in the Old World have focused on European collections or representations of Amerindian things. A number of studies have followed the transatlantic travels of specific artifacts (painted Mesoamerican manuscripts, obsidian mirrors), 193 or have analyzed whole collections of Americana (Medici meraviglias now in Florence and Rome, Hapsburg Wunders now in Vienna).…”
