Supporting Question 1 Featured Source Source A: Mark Pitts, book exploring Maya writing, Book 1: Writing in Maya Glyphs: Names, Places & Simple Sentences—A Non-Technical Introduction to Maya Glyphs (excerpt), 2008 THE BASICS OF ANCIENT MAYA WRITING Maya writing is composed of various signs and symbol. These signs and symbols are often called ‘hieroglyphs,’ or more simply ‘glyphs.’ To most of us, these glyphs look like pictures, but it is often hard to say what they are pictures of…. Unlike European languages, like English and Spanish, the ancient Maya writing did not use letters to spell words. Instead, they used a combination of glyphs that stood either for syllables, or for whole words. We will call the glyphs that stood for syllables ‘syllable glyphs,’ and we’ll call the glyphs that stood for whole words ‘logos.’ (The technically correct terms are ‘syllabogram’ and ‘logogram.’) It may seem complicated to use a combination of sounds and signs to make words, but we do the very same thing all the time. For example, you have seen this sign: ©iStock/©jswinborne Everyone knows that this sign means “one way to the right.” The “one way” part is spelled out in letters, as usual. But the “to the right” part is given only by the arrow pointing to the right.

Ranging from the earliest cities in the Americas to Inca metropolises, millennia of urban human history along the Andes have left large and striking sites scattered across the country. But cities and monuments do not exist in solitude. Peru’s ancient sites are connected by a vast circulatory system of roads that connected every corner of the country, and thousands of square miles beyond its current borders. The Inca road system, or Qhapaq Ñan, is particularly famous; thousands of miles of trails linked the empire from modern- day Colombia to central Chile, crossing some of the world’s tallest mountain ranges and driest deserts. The Inca state recognized the importance of its road system, and dotted the trails with rest stops, granaries, and religious shrines. Inca roads even served directly religious purposes in pilgrimages and a system of ritual pathways that divided the empire (Ogburn 2010). This project contributes to scholarly knowledge about the Inca and Pre-Hispanic Andean civilizations by studying the roads which stitched together the Inca state.

Environmental destruction brought about by climate change and extractive industries has been especially devastating in the Western Amazon- the most biologically diverse region of the Amazon and home to a diversity of indigenous populations. The efforts of indigenous organizations in the Western Amazon, notably the Ecuadorian Amazon, have been successful in affecting progressive environmental policies as a means to protect their natural environments and standards of living.

Albuquerque: U of New Mexico P, 2019. 279 p ISBN 9780-8263-6105-9 Rajca, Andrew. Dissensual Subjects. Memory. Human Rights, and Postdictatorship in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Evanston: Northwestern UP, 2018. 254 pp. ISBN 9780-8101-3636- 6. El estudio de las distintas culturas nacionales de América Latina tiene una larga tradición que ciertamente permite profundizar en lo propio de cada país. Sin embargo, si tomamos en cuenta que en varios países existen áreas geográficas que tienen más similitudes con países limítrofes que con otras regiones del mismo (por ejemplo, la Amazonia Brasilera y Peruana, la región cuyana y Chile, la región andina que une a Ecuador y Colombia, etc) y que algunos países han experimentado similares procesos políticos y/o económicos, el estudio conjunto de la producción cultural de más de un país se vuelve altamente relevante. Tal es la propuesta de los dos volúmenes que analizo en este ensayo. El primero pertenece a William Acree, Jr., un especialista en cultura colonial y del siglo XIX, mientras que el segundo corresponde a un comparatista que se enfoca en la producción cultural de fines de principios del siglo XXI. En Staging Frontiers, William Acree encara un proyecto valioso y desafiante al estudiar la cultura popular del siglo XIX a ambos lados del Río de la Plata. Los retos que Acree superó aparecen listados en los agradecimientos: la falta de fuentes, la imposibilidad de medir la sociabilidad y los hábitos de entretenimiento de personas que vivieron antes de la invención de la radio, la televisión, y el cine.

(May 2012) Miguel Alberto Novoa Department of History Department of Economics Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Glenn Chambers Department of History This endeavor focuses on the formation and expansion of the Inca Empire and its effects on western South American societies in the fifteenth century. The research examines the Incan cultural, economic, and administrative methods of expansion under Pachakutiq, the founder of the empire, and its impact on the empire’s demise in the sixteenth century. Mainstream historical literature attributes the fall of the Incas to immediate causes such as superior Spanish technology, the Inca civil war, and a devastating smallpox epidemic; however, little is mentioned about the causes within the society itself. An increased focus on the social reactions towards Inca imperialism not only expands current information on Andean civilization, but also enhances scholarly understanding for the abrupt end of the Inca Empire.
