Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis

¿Cómo se siente el cambio climático? Personal, acechante, indiscriminado. Es una sombra de tiempo que nos cubre poco a poco, consumiendo la luz, pero dejándonos ver lo que todavía recordaremos de nuestro planeta, de cuando teníamos paisajes naturales. O quizás es una resonancia ascendente que asecha a una sociedad sorda. Aunque sentimos las vibraciones del cambio, seguimos adelante, hacia el desarrollo, mientras el eco absoluto del pasado nos envuelve. Este fotoensayo reúne 9 fotografías con breves comentarios para mostrar visualmente las formas del cambio climático en Chiapas y la frontera sur de México.

What does climate change feel like? Personal, …

Cambio Climático, Antropoceno Y Mucho Más…Aportaciones Antropológicas Desde El Sureste De México Y Guatemala, Ingreet Juliet Cano Castellanos

Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis

La persistencia en la degradación ambiental global no es una cuestión exclusiva de potencias y bloques económico-políticos. Es también un problema (trouble) que nos perturba y nos interpela. Bajo este contexto, el presente trabajo reflexiona sobre cómo específicamente la antropología está siendo interpelada por los expertos que han hablado del antropoceno, como categoría que señala la responsabilidad de ‘la humanidad’ en el cambio climático. Lejos de incorporar irreflexivamente tal perspectiva, ratificamos la necesidad ofrecer análisis que permitan comprender la producción de diferencias y desigualdades entre las sociedades humanas y los ejercicios de poder que median la regulación …

Las Rutas Ístmicas Del Halcón Peregrino: Introducción Jonatan Rodas, Mario Payeras, Jonatan Rodas

Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis

Mario Payeras (Chimaltenango, Guatemala 1940 – México, D.F. 1995) fue poeta, narrador, ensayista y militante revolucionario guatemalteco. Fue uno de los fundadores del Ejército Guerrillero de los Pobres, uno de los principales movimientos revolucionarios de las décadas del conflicto armado en Guatemala (1960-1996). Su permanencia en las selvas del Ixcán (al norte de Guatemala) durante ese periódo inspiró gran parte de su obra poética y literaria que, en una parte, da cuenta de reflexiones y vivencias de la militancia en clandestinidad. Tal es el caso del poemario Poemas de la Zona Reina (1997) y el relato testimonial Los días …

Dance/Movement Therapy Used As An Intervention To Heal Racial Trauma Within The Black Community: A Literature Review, Jennifer Noboise

Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses

The history of dance within the black community has served an important role while living through a racist and discriminatory society. Dance has been used to express anger, grief, and joy during hardships and moments of rejoicing from the black experience. African American people have endured years of trauma and abuse from oppressive systems. Research has been conducted to demonstrate that dance/movement therapy has been effective in treating those who have experienced a form of trauma since the trauma is stored in the body. Examining trauma symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and substance use, the research found these symptoms diminished …

Honors Projects

This paper will define and examine the use of solitary confinement within the United States prison system and review its mental, physical, and social impacts.

With a rotating 80,000 inmates held in solitary confinement every day, the current structure of the prison system deemphasizes rehabilitation and …
