Book excerpt: This packet of twelve CD-ROM disks and printed instructions provides the first easy access to 2,000 of Merle Greene Robertson's rubbings of low-relief sculpture from ninety Mesoamerican sites. Many of the rubbings are irreplaceable records of monuments since destroyed by deterioration or looting, and some have never before been published. Access to the images carved on memorial Maya sculpture has always presented problems. Many of the Classic Maya sites are difficult to get to, and in those that can be visited easily the sculpture is often difficult to see. Since nearly every trace of the original paint has eroded, the viewer is dependent upon the sun or artificial light to produce contrasts between the background and the carved surfaces. The rubbings preserved at the Latin American Library at Tulane University can be viewed by scholars only on special occasions because of their size and the difficulties of unwrapping and rewrapping them. This easy-to-use compilation of high-resolution scans makes it possible to enhance and manipulate images and print them out as needed. The Viewer CD allows the user to interact with low-resolution versions of the imagery and the extensive cataloging system.

Download or read book From Many Cultures, One Nation written by Sarah Woodbury and published by The Morgan-Stanwood Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children possess national and ethnic identity, whether or not we want them to, and often that identity includes elements of their own devising. Since independence, the Belizean government has sought to promote a national Belizean identity by recognizing the cultures of its multiple ethnic groups, and including all these groups in its social studies curriculum. Thus, in Belize, ethnicity and nationalism are inextricably intertwined. In my research in Punta Gorda, Belize in 1993-94, I dealt directly with schools and children in an attempt to understand how ethnic and nationalist identities are taught and then incorporated by children in practice. This book relates those findings. Keywords: Belize, Children's studies, Children, ethnicity, nationalism, ethnic studies, Central America, Caribbean, Creole, anthropology, education, schools

Download or read book Embodied Lives: written by Rosemary A. Joyce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining a wide range of archaeological data, and using it to explore issues such as the sexual body, mind/body dualism, body modification, and magical practices, Lynn Meskell and Rosemary Joyce offer a new approach to the Ancient Egyptian and Mayan understanding of embodiment. Drawing on insights from feminist theory, art history, phenomenology, anthropology and psychoanalysis, the book takes bodily materiality as a crucial starting point to the understanding and formation of self in any society, and sheds new light on Ancient Egyptian and Maya cultures. The book shows how a comparative project can open up new lines of inquiry by raising questions about accepted assumptions as the authors draw attention to the long-term histories and specificities of embodiment, and make the case for the importance of ancient materials for contemporary theorization of the body. For students new to the subject, and scholars already familiar with it, this will offer fresh and exciting insights into these ancient cultures.
