Symposium held at Santo Domingo Business Center
The 2012 Maya Meetings in Antigua will be the first international conference
devoted to the topic of ancient Maya literature. After decades of hard work
at deciphering Maya hieroglyphs from ca 300-900 AD, we are left with
thousands of texts written in Classic Mayan. How do we go about studying
these sources as true texts? What were the different genres of writing, and
how did they vary over time and space? How did scribes design their texts
rhetorically and visually to convey and highlight information? How does the
ancient Maya literary tradition relate to later literary expressions from
the early colonial period and after?
Please join us in Antigua, Guatemala for what will be a compelling series of
workshops and lectures on the cutting edge of Maya research.
Confirmed Speakers for the 2012 Maya Meetings: Dr. David Stuart, Dr. Federico Fahsen,
Dr. Arturo Arias, Dr. Simon Martin, Dr. Frauke Sachse, Dr. Michael Carrasco, Dr. Daniel Law.
