Book excerpt: This collection of folklore offers a rich and lively panorama of Mayan mythic heritage.

Download or read book The Myths of the Popol Vuh in Cosmology, Art, and Ritual written by Holley Moyes and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an integrated and comparative approach to the Popol Vuh, analyzing its myths to elucidate the ancient Maya past while using multiple lines of evidence to shed light on the text. Combining interpretations of the myths with analyses of archaeological, iconographic, epigraphic, ethnohistoric, ethnographic, and literary resources, the work demonstrates how Popol Vuh mythologies contribute to the analysis and interpretation of the ancient Maya past. The chapters are grouped into four sections. The first section interprets the Highland Maya worldview through examination of the text, analyzing interdependence between deities and human beings as well as the textual and cosmological coherence of the Popol Vuh as a source. The second section analyzes the Precolumbian Maya archaeological record as it relates to the myths of the Popol Vuh, providing new interpretations of the use of space, architecture, burials, artifacts, and human remains found in Classic Maya caves. The third explores ancient Maya iconographic motifs, including those found in Classic Maya ceramic art; the nature of predatory birds; and the Hero Twins’ deeds in the Popol Vuh. The final chapters address mythological continuities and change, reexamining past methodological approaches using the Popol Vuh as a resource for the interpretation of Classic Maya iconography and ancient Maya religion and mythology, connecting the myths of the Popol Vuh to iconography from Preclassic Izapa, and demonstrating how narratives from the Popol Vuh can illuminate mythologies from other parts of Mesoamerica. The Myths of the Popol Vuh in Cosmology, Art, and Ritual is the first volume to bring together multiple perspectives and original interpretations of the Popol Vuh myths. It will be of interest not only to Mesoamericanists but also to art historians, archaeologists, ethnohistorians, iconographers, linguists, anthropologists, and scholars working in ritual studies, the history of religion, historic and Precolumbian literature and historic linguistics.

Download or read book Légendes du Guatemala written by Miguel Ángel Asturias and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 1985 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'écriture poétique et baroque de Miguel Angel Asturias, teintée de surréalisme, donne à ces légendes force et magie. Loin de prétendre à l'exactitude, Asturias réinvente les anciens mythes de son pays et plonge le lecteur dans un monde ensorcelant où, comme le dit Paul Valéry, "le volcan, les moines, l'Homme-Pavot, le Marchand de bijoux sans prix, les "bandes d'ivrognesses dominicales", les "maîtres mages qui vont dans les villes enseigner la fabrication des tissus et la valeur du Zéro" composent le plus délirant des songes."

Download or read book The Dog Who Spoke and More Mayan Folktales written by James D. Sexton and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the delightful Mayan folktale The Dog Who Spoke, we learn what happens when a dog’s master magically transforms into a dog-man who reasons like a man but acts like a dog. This and the other Mayan folktales in this bilingual collection brim with the enchanting creativity of rural Guatemala’s oral culture. In addition to stories about ghosts and humans turning into animals, the volume also offers humorous yarns. Hailing from the Lake Atitlán region in the Guatemalan highlands, these tales reflect the dynamics of, and conflicts between, Guatemala’s Indian, Ladino, and white cultures. The animals, humans, and supernatural forces that figure in these stories represent Mayan cultural values, social mores, and history. James D. Sexton and Fredy Rodríguez-Mejía allow the thirty-three stories to speak for themselves—first in the original Spanish and then in English translations that maintain the meaning and rural inflection of the originals. Available in print for the first time, with a glossary of Indian and Spanish terms, these Guatemalan folktales represent generations of transmitted oral culture that is fast disappearing and deserves a wider audience.
