Sommario/riassunto

Mayan literature is among the oldest in the world, spanning an astonishing two millennia from deep pre-Columbian antiquity to the present day. Here, for the first time, is a fully illustrated survey, from the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions to the works of later writers using



the Roman alphabet. Dennis Tedlock-ethnographer, linguist, poet, and award-winning author-draws on decades of living and working among the Maya to assemble this groundbreaking book, which is the first to treat ancient Mayan texts as literature. Tedlock considers the texts chronologically. He establishes that women were among the ancient writers and challenges the idea that Mayan rulers claimed the status of gods. 2000 Years of Mayan Literature expands our understanding and appreciation not only of Mayan literature but of indigenous American literature in its entirety.

Sommario/riassunto

L’avènement de l’époque moderne marque, selon de nombreux critiques et historiens, l’élaboration et la mise en place de normes, règles et institutions qui structurent et encadrent la société, la littérature et les arts. Cependant, la norme apparaît comme un concept fluctuant à l’aube de la modernité : elle entraîne dans son sillage la présence de l’autre, et chemine, entre héritage, bouleversement et transgression, vers une difficile définition.  Faut-il, dès lors, penser la norme dans sa singularité ou la concevoir d’emblée comme un ensemble de normes ? Pré-existe-t-elle à sa codification ou est-elle le produit d’une institution, d’une idéologie ? Incarne-t-elle un carcan, une contrainte ou un vecteur de progression ? Est-elle une cristallisation idéale et permanente ou, au contraire, en perpétuel devenir ?  Cette publication s’attache à mener une réflexion sur les pratiques, discours et représentations de la norme et de la transgression en Europe à cette époque charnière, et répondre à ces interrogations, au gré des vingt contributions d’enseignants-chercheurs issus de différents domaines des sciences humaines et sociales (histoire, littérature, philosophie et musicologie).
