Pre-Columbian South America
Amazon and cordillera
In his day, Alexander von Humboldt was hugely famed for the journey he made between 1799 and 1804 with the botanist Bonpland through the mainland tropics of America and the Caribbean. The account he gave of it, the 30-volume Voyages aux régions équinoxiale du Nouveau Continent, published over as many years, is interestingly shaped by the Atlas pittoresque of 1810, which comprises volumes XV and XVI. Better known under the title Vues des Cordillèr…

Além de ser um valioso testemunho da importância do nheengatu na história da cultura brasileira, o Vocabulário Português Nheengatu - Nheengatu Português de Ermano Stradelli pode ser lido e consultado como uma enciclopédia da cultura amazônica, isto é, como uma fonte ainda atual de informações sobre a complexidade da vida na grande floresta. Tal complexidade é aparente na abundância de verbetes dedicados à pesca e à caça, por exemplo, mas também n…

The year in the mexican codices
Prediction of medulloblastoma clinical outcome is crucial to personalizing treatment, both to identify high-risk patients for aggressive or alternative therapy and to spare those at low risk from excessive treatment. The best predictors [Pomeroy et al. (2002) Nature 415, 436-442], based on gene expression monitoring at diagnosis, have shown much less accuracy in recognizing patients with eventual failed outcomes - <50% for the predictor making fe…
First Peoples of the Americas and Their Literature
In their paper, "First Peoples of the Americas and Their Literature," Gordon Brotherston and Lúcia de Sá turn their attention to the indigenous literature of the Americas. They point out that concerted attempts to edit, translate, and publish the main examples or "classics" of Native American literature began little more than a century ago. Since that time, more than a dozen major cosmogonies have appeared, some of them in editions, which serious…

Meaning in a Bororo jaguar skin
Este artigo propõe analisar e interpretar uma pele de jaguar bororo exposta na Mostra Brasil +500 em São Paulo no ano de 2000. De acordo com o autor, este tipo de pele pintada conhecida como Adugo biri demanda muito mais atenção por parte dos especialistas do que recebeu até o momento. Trata-se, com efeito, de um texto visual, representando e correlacionando números com bastante sofisticação incorporando paradigmas da cultura bororo e desafiando …

Traduzindo a linguagem visível da escrita
This essay attempts to point out some of the complex characteristics the reader-translator of the visibility and visuality of language has to face. For that purpose, it traces some of the most important occurences of the visible language of script, from ancient peoples from Europe to American natives and the XX century concrete poetry

Symbol and Meaning Beyond the Closed Community
The Late Postclassic Eastern Frontier of Mesoamerica
A far-reaching frontier culture area emerged along the eastern periphery of southern Mesoamerica during the Late Postclassic. Here linguistically diverse peoples (e.g., Rabinal, Pokom, Akahal, Xinca) shared a pattern in material culture. With the frontier commencing along the borders of the Quinche and Cakchiquel conquest states, it is theorized that a principal variable in the development of the frontier cultural pattern was militaristic expansi…

An Indian Farewell in Prescott's The Conquest of Mexico
IN NEITHER OF HIS STATELY ACCOUNTS of reduction of American Indians, of Mexicans and Incas, does W. H. Prescott unequivocally deny European right of conquest. The natives of America may have suffered extreme atrocities, may have been massively disinherited and robbed, but by receiving a far higher civilization and a more humanitarian religion they were more than requited. Yet Prescott does exult in right Europeans earned with their superiority. H…

The Presence of Mayan Literature in "Hombres de Maiz" and Other Works by Miguel Angel Asturias
tive involvement in Indian (specifically Mayan) literature, though his work is commonly praised for its original American qualities.1 By a familiar irony Asturias first encountered Indian literature in Europe, when he worked with Georges Raynaud in the 1920s on a number of texts, among them the Annals of the Cakchiquels and the Popol Vuh of their near relations the Quiche. His Spanish translations of these books both appeared in 1927 as Anales de…
