The Maya Art of Speaking Writing
Challenging the distinctions between “old” and “new” media and narratives about the deprecation of orality in favor of inscribed forms, The Maya Art of Speaking Writing draws from Maya concepts of tz’ib’ (recorded knowledge) and tzij, choloj, and ch’owen (orality) to look at expressive work across media and languages. Based on nearly a decade of fieldwork in the Guatemalan highlands, Tiffany D. Creegan Miller discusses images that are sonic, pictorial, gestural, and alphabetic. She reveals various forms of creativity and agency that are woven through a rich media landscape in Indigenous Guatemala, as well as Maya diasporas in Mexico and the United States. Miller discusses how t...
Mayan Journeys
"Yucatán, an impoverished state in southern Mexico, has recently emerged as a significant source of US-bound migrants. Why did this state's indigenous population wait so long to enter the migration stream, and how do their experiences differ from those of earlier more traditional migrants? Mayan Journeys explores how internal migration to southern Mexico's tourist resorts serves as a springboard for international migration and how the new migrants navigate enhanced obstacles at the US-Mexico border and enter the US labor force. Drawing on an extensive 2006 survey of migrants and potential migrants in Tunkás, Yucatán, and its satellite communities in Southern California, the authors provide new evidence of the failure of US border enforcement to deter undocumented migration from Mexico"--Publisher's description.
Miradas transdisciplinarias a procesos transculturales contemporáneos. Sembrando esperanza para un nuevo mundo. Tomo I
Desde otra ruta analítica, se destacan los Modelos Analíticos Transdisciplinarios que implican romper las fronteras disciplinarias, tal como se propone en la Epistemología de la Complejidad de Edgar Morin (1994), en la Epistemología de la Transdisciplinariedad de Basarab Nicolescu (1996) y el Análisis del Sentido de Julieta Haidar (2006). En estos modelos, se entrelazan diferentes enfoques teóricos y rutas analíticas, se construyen datos complejos, se construyen categorías transdisciplinarias para analizar diversas prácticas semiótico-discursivas.
Historia sociolingüística de México.
La riqueza y la complejidad lingüística que se dan en el vasto territorio mexicano son de suyo una incitante invitación al análisis y a la historia. Tal es el objetivo final de esta "Historia sociolingüística de México": narrar desde varias perspectivas la historia de las lenguas y, en especial, la historia de los hablantes en México a lo largo de los siglos, tanto en términos de consenso como de conflicto. Múltiples miradas convergen en esta "Historia" en torno a los diversos procesos, que han imbricado lenguas y hablantes en el paradójico México pluriétnico. Este volumen 3 atraviesa el siglo XX y se estaciona en el XXI, acercándonos a una realidad cambiante que se vive en las últimas décadas y en los nuevos territorios surgidos de la movilidad incesante.
Mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes ante el discurso del derecho moderno
¿Es realmente el feminismo el movimiento social más exitoso del siglo xx? Para pensar esta pregunta, las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes de la región han puesto puntos sobre las íes de la cuestión, empezando por dejar claro que no existe un feminismo, porque no existe un solo mundo. De la mano de ellas, en las últimas décadas el discurso feminista ha introducido riquísimos debates acerca de la urgencia de pensar nuestra emancipación como mujeres, pero en clave decolonial, abrazando un esencialismo estratégico. Este libro está dedicado al análisis de los sentidos de los derechos de las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes en el debate contemporáneo. El volumen aborda las...
Jesus Made in America
Jesus is as American as baseball and apple pie. But how this came to be is a complex story--one that Stephen Nichols tells with care and ease. Beginning with the Puritans, he leads readers through the various cultural epochs of American history, showing at each stage how American notions of Jesus were shaped by the cultural sensibilities of the times, often with unfortunate results. Always fascinating and often humorous, Jesus Made in America offers a frank assessment of the story of Christianity in America, including the present. For those interested in the cultural implications of that story, this book is a must-read.
The Gospel According To Monty Python
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MONTY PYTHON Who was the real Brian? Who was the real Jesus? Did the Romans build the Jerusalem Aqueduct? Were the Magi really wise? And were the Peoples Front of Judea, splitters? All the crucial issues this book dares to confront. 'Life of Brian' editor Julian Doyle, not only reveals some telling information about the filming process but also compares each and every hysterical scene of the film with the actual Biblical events and comes to some extraordinary conclusions, including the well held belief that 'Life of Brian' is the most accurate Biblical film ever made. A must not only for Python fans but film students wishing to understand the process of comedy editing.
American Theological Inquiry, Volume Two, Issue One
American Theological Inquiry (ATI) was formed in 2007 by Drs. S. Gannon Murphy (PhD, St. David's College, Univ. Wales, Theology; Presbyterian/Reformed) and Stephen Patrick (PhD, Univ. Illinois, Philosophy; Eastern Orthodox) to open up space for diverse Christian academicians, who affirm the Ecumenical Creeds, to share research throughout the broader Christian scholarly community in America. ATI reaches thousands of Christian scholars throughout the United States, particularly specialists in theology. Though ATI is a new journal, scholars who publish with ATI benefit from exposure to a vast, non-insular network of one of the broadest Christian academic communities possible.
