Seminar paper del año 2004 en eltema Historia - América, Nota: 1, Universidad de Málaga, Materia: Historia moderna de América, Idioma: Español, Resumen: La palabra “maya” evoca imágenes de ruinas arqueológicas y de una cultura perdida y desaparecida. Las misteriosas leyendas sobre este pueblo antiguo fascinan tanto a profanos como a expertos en historia y arqueología. Algunos de los aspectos decisivos que permitieron que la civilización maya – inicialmente dividida en multitud de tribus— se considerara una entidad fueron sus mitos y leyendas, así como su compresión del cosmos, sus creencias religiosas y su concepción de la vida después de la muerte. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo intentar dar una primera visión de conjunto de ese mundo espiritual del pueblo sofisticado. Por supuesto, tal exposición no será detallada ni mucho menos completa. Más bien, se resumen y se ponen en orden los conocimientos de la literatura, que, por cierto, es extraordinariamente extensa. Las fuentes más importantes que tiene la ciencia a su disposición son los pocos documentos conservados de este tiempo. Las más auténticas forman los llamados tres códices de Dresde, París y Madrid, que sobrevivieron casi por completo y que proporcionan información sobre el pensamiento y la vida maya. Las demás fuentes –a excepción del arte de los mayas— proceden de la época de la conquista o posterior, como por ejemplo, la copia del Popol Vuh, el libro sagrado de los quichés, mayas de Guatemala. Otras son los libros de Chilam Balam. Aquí se trata de colecciones de textos en la lengua maya yucateca, escritos en alfabetos latinos durante los siglos XVII y XVIII a partir de múltiples documentos anteriores. Apenas se ha conservado una docena, por lo cual el libro Chilam Balam de Chumayel es considerado como uno de los más ricos e importantes. El obispo español Diego de Landa, misionario en el área maya durante la conquista, nos ofrece en su Relación de las cosas de Yucatán multitud de datos de primera mano, recogidos de informantes indígenas, sobre la historia, las costumbres, el calendario y las creencias religiosas de los antiguos mayas. Con respecto a la época posclásica, la situación de las fuentes empeoró drásticamente. A continuación, se definen algunos conceptos, para que sea obvio el centro de este trabajo. Tras ello, se explica información básica sobre los mayas, antes de presentar el pensamiento y la religión de este pueblo precolombino.

The world's foremost expert on Maya culture looks at 2012 hysteria and explains the truth about what the Maya meant and what we want to believe. Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilizations End. The World Cataclysm in 2012. 2012: The return of Quetzalcoatl. According to many of these alarmingly titled books, the ancient Maya not only had a keen insight into the mystical workings of our planet and the cosmos, but they were also able to predict that the world will end in the year 2012. David Stuart, the foremost scholar of the Maya and recipient of numerous awards for his work, takes a hard look at the frenzy over 2012 and offers a fascination (and accurate) trip through Mayan culture and belief. Stuart shows how the idea that the "end of the Mayan calendar," which supposedly heralds the end of our own existence, says far more about our culture than about the ancient Maya. The Order of Days explores how the real intellectual achievement of ancient Maya timekeeping and worldview is far more impressive and remarkable than any of the popular, and often outrageous, claims about this advanced civilization. As someone who has studied the Maya for nearly all of his life and who specializes in reading their ancient texts, Stuart sees the 2012 hubbub as the most recent in a long chain of related ideas about Mesoamericans, the Maya in particular, that depicts them as somehow oddball, not "of this world," or as having some strong mystical link to other realms. Because the year 2012 has no prominent role in anything the ancient Maya ever actually wrote, Stuart takes a wider look at the Maya concepts of time and their underlying philosophy as we can best understand them. The ancient Maya, Stuart contends, were worthy of study and admiration not because they were strange but because they were altogether human, and they developed a compelling vision of time unlike any other civilization before or since.

The Neo-Indians is a rich ethnographic study of the emergence of the neo-Indian movement—a new form of Indian identity based on largely reinvented pre-colonial cultures and comprising a diverse group of people attempting to re-create purified pre-colonial indigenous beliefs and ritual practices without the contaminating influences of modern society. There is no full-time neo-Indian. Both indigenous and non-indigenous practitioners assume Indian identities only when deemed spiritually significant. In their daily lives, they are average members of modern society, dressing in Western clothing, working at middle-class jobs, and retaining their traditional religious identities. As a result of this part-time status the neo-Indians are often overlooked as a subject of study, making this book the first anthropological analysis of the movement. Galinier and Molinié present and analyze four decades of ethnographic research focusing on Mexico and Peru, the two major areas of the movement’s genesis. They examine the use of public space, describe the neo-Indian ceremonies, provide analysis of the ceremonies’ symbolism, and explore the close relationship between the neo-Indian religion and tourism. The Neo-Indians will be of great interest to ethnographers, anthropologists, and scholars of Latin American history, religion, and cultural studies.
