Spanish term

quedó expresado a través de grandes arquetipos

Spanish to English Social Sciences History Mexican Revolution
Same context, a paragraph about the Mexican Revolution:

El nacionalismo cultural que siguió a la Revolución Mexicana quedó expresado a través de grandes arquetipos: la Conquista, la intolerancia y la desigualdad social del Porfiriato, el mestizaje y el nacimiento de una nueva estirpe --que en palabras de Vasconcelos, cumpliría con el ideal de una raza cósmica. En este contexto se originó el movimiento muralista cuyos principales representantes fueron Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros y José Clemente Orozco.

Lo que hay en el glosario no encaja en este contexto. Gracias a todos.

My 2 centavos: I'd keep both terms in Spanish, but at the first appearance put a parenthetical explanation. fwiw: mestizo (but not mestizaje) is in Merriam-Webster's. Good luck!
teju (asker) Oct 14, 2008:
¿Qué opinan? ¿Dejo Porfiriato y mestizaje en español, o lo traduzco como the Porfirio Díaz administration/rule y mixed race/miscegenation? Mil gracias.

expressed through major archetypes

Teju: Hope this isn't too literal for you, but to my mind, it seems fine. "manifested in" might be an option.

thank you!
agree Bubo Coroman (X) : suggest "great archetypes". Would keep "archetypes", they are things that impact us at subconscious levels and are part of our group mind.

thanks, Deborah. Either will do, although (surprisingly) there are more hits for "major archetypes" than "great archetypes". Hope you're having a good week!
agree Carol Gullidge : also like "manifested itself through"

Archetype is the correct word for this. Per the royal academy:

Arquetipo:

Imágenes o esquemas congénitos con valor simbólico que forma parte del inconsciente colectivo.

Representación que se considera modelo de cualquier manifestación de la realidad.
