Centeredness As a Cultural and Grammatical Theme in Maya-Mam
CENTEREDNESS AS A CULTURAL AND GRAMMATICAL THEME IN MAYA-MAM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Wesley M. Collins, B.S., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Professor Donald Winford, Advisor Professor Scott Schwenter Advisor Professor Amy Zaharlick Department of Linguistics Copyright by Wesley Miller Collins 2005 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I look at selected Maya-Mam anthropological and linguistic data and suggest that they provide evidence that there exist overlapping cultural and grammatical themes that are salient to Mam speakers. The data used in this study were gathered largely via ethnographic methods based on participant observation over my twenty-five year relationship with the Mam people of Comitancillo, a town of 60,000 in Guatemala’s Western Highlands. For twelve of those years, my family and I lived among the Mam, participating with them in the cultural milieu of daily life. In order to help shed light on the general relationship between language and culture, I discuss the key Mayan cultural value of centeredness and I show how this value is a pervasive organizing principle in Mayan thought, cosmology, and daily living, a value called upon by the Mam in their daily lives to regulate and explain behavior. Indeed, I suggest that centeredness is a cultural theme, a recurring cultural value which supersedes social differences, and which is defined for cultural groups as a whole (England, 1978). I show how the Mam understanding of issues as disparate as homestead construction, the town central plaza, historical Mayan religious practice, Christian conversion, health concerns, the importance of the numbers two and four, the notions of agreement and forgiveness, child discipline, and moral stance are all instantiations of this basic underlying principle. -

BRÚJULA JOCOTENANGO SACATEPÉQUEZ Competitividad e inversión CARTA DE BIENVENIDA La Política Nacional de Competitividad 2018-2032 es una herramienta que busca establecer reglas de juego equilibradas, para mejorar las condiciones de competitividad del país a través de la consolidación de clústeres productivos bajo una combinación de territorialidad y vocación económica. PRONACOM es responsable de la implementación de la Política Nacional de Competitividad 2018-2032 y reconoce la importancia de generar información que coadyuve a orientar los esfuerzos para construir clústeres productivos, consolidar las Ciudades Intermedias y a mejorar las condiciones de competitividad tanto a nivel nacional como local para atraer inversión productiva. Globalmente, los países y ciudades compiten para captar la inversión extranjera directa (IED) dado que reconocen su impacto en el desarrollo económico y social por medio de la generación de oportunidades de empleo formal, el fomento de la transferencia de tecnología, capacitación del capital humano, el desarrollo de clústeres, la dinamización de las exportaciones y en general, el posicionamiento del país y sus ciudades a nivel mundial. Por tanto, PRONACOM junto con la Universidad Panamericana se dieron a la tarea de conocer las fortalezas y áreas de mejora en materia de competitividad, específicamente, bajo el lente de la atracción de inversión, de ocho municipios que forman parte de las Ciudades Intermedias y cuyos indicadores demuestran que tienen potencial de convertirse en destinos atractivos para empresas nacionales e internacionales. Jocotenango fue uno de los municipios seleccionados para desarrollar este primer esfuerzo, por medio del cual, se identificaron ventajas competitivas como también brechas que deben superarse para atraer a inversionistas que quieran instalarse en la localidad. -

Dissertation Advisors: James Hankins, Tamar Herzog Stuart Michael McManus The Global Lettered City: Humanism and Empire in Colonial Latin America and the Early Modern World Abstract Historians have long recognized the symbiotic relationship between learned culture, urban life and Iberian expansion in the creation of “Latin” America out of the ruins of pre-Columbian polities, a process described most famously by Ángel Rama in his account of the “lettered city” (ciudad letrada). This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe. -
Peace in Palestine Via the World Heritage Convention
. Michael K. Madison II. Peace in Palestine ..........through World Heritage Promoting Peace via Global Conventions - 1 - Peace in Palestine via the World Heritage Convention Promoting Peace via Global Conventions The Global Problem "Throughout history, religious differences have divided men and women from their neighbors and have served as justification for some of humankind's bloodiest conflicts. In the modern world, it has become clear that people of all religions must bridge these differences and work together, to ensure our survival and realize the vision of peace that all faiths share." -- H.R.H. Prince El-Hassan bin Talal, Jordan Moderator, WCRP Governing Board Tolerance, Economic Growth and Fear Global peace and harmony is not possible without religious tolerance. Unfortunately, there is no instant microwavable solution. We can’t just add water and/or milk to the current situation and hope that the world will ameliorate itself overnight. No. The world needs help. The problem is not the outliers; it is larger groups of people that need to change. Outliers will always be present. The world needs religious-minded policymakers to take giant steps that lead to peace, but in a mutually beneficial way. Indeed, peace for peace’s sake is not always enough incentive to all parties involved. Therefore, if the conflict cannot be resolved by tolerance, then let it be resolved by greed as we find a way to help the countries involved to achieve a better economic position. If the conflict cannot be resolved by boosting the corresponding economies, then let it be resolved by fear as we convince the nations involved that one false move means it will be - 2 - their country against the rest of the world and not just their “enemy of the day”. -
Trip Summary
Trip Summary It is tough to be erudite at 1 in morning while waiting for a flight at the airport, but I’ll try to sum up my experiences from my trip as best as I can. Overall the trip was a stellar success! I think my goals of visiting the great Mayan ruins and experiencing some of the indigenous Mayan culture were met. Guatemala was fantastic and I would certainly highly recommend it. It has a great mixture of fantastic ruins, natural beauty (Rainforests), and a unique indigenous culture. The only downside (for some people) would be the lack of developed tourist infrastructure (bad roads) in much of the country. But I think this just adds to the adventure. I wish I had spent more time in Guatemala. 1: Banyan Tree growing over Mayan ruins The southern Mexican province of Chiapas has a lot in common with Guatemala. Jungles, indigenous villages and great Mayan ruins. There are great ruins spread through the rest of the peninsula, but these areas do not have a strong indigenous Mayan presence. Like Guatemala’s Antigua, Mexico has a number of very picturesque colonial cities- Campeche and Merida are perfect examples. Mexico City was a great surprise. I was less thrilled with Belize. Although if you are into diving I am sure Belize is great. The busses were an experience, Caracol was an impressive Mayan ruin and Belize does have a unique blend of cultures. The religion of these regions was particularly interesting, especially in Guatemala. Guatemala’s religious practices are a mixture of Catholicism and indigenous Mayan traditions. -

Peru and Central America
Peru and Central America By Robi Auscher It was worth working in Peru. It offered the opportunity of visiting one of the world’s awesome sites, the divine Machu Picchu. The flights from Lima, the capital located on the sea, depart for Cusco only in the clear morning hours. Later in the day, the skies turn hazy and apparently make the anyway hard maneuvering between the canyons even harder on the pilots. Cusco is located at an altitude of 3400 m while, Machu Picchu is lower at 2400 m. The sudden transition from sea level to Cusco is heavy on young and elder as well. Thus, people are taken first to their hotels to rest, take it easy and sip coca tea which is an old natural remedy for altitude sickness. Sightseeing is scheduled only for the afternoon, after some physiological adjustment and plenty of warnings. Have joined a guided tour which was broken every time a young girl fainted and flattened out suddenly on the ground. I don’t know whom to blame, the high altitude or the coca tea, but I spent sleepless nights while at Cusco. Usually, high mountains served a shelter to the Inca and other indigenous groups who found refuge there from the invasion of the aggressive Spanish conquistadors. Not in this case. They reached Cusco but didn’t discover the lower-lying, jungle-covered Machu Picchu. Hard to imagine the way the Inca built their huge constructions. They carried irregularly cut rocks of hundreds of tons without being familiar with the wheel. The rocks were put together in haphazard shapes to provide flexible motion and defense against the frequent earthquakes haunting the area. -
