RODRIGUEZ MARTINEZ, Yassir. Tourism and Governmentality in Ek Balam: being Mayan in a Neoliberal Context. Alteridades [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.54, pp.119-129. ISSN 2448-850X.

This paper analyzes the management that several agents articulated to the State’s duties carry out in the Mayan communities of Ek Balam, so that the population can integrate tourism in their lifestyles. As a part of this analysis, it examines the production of discourses about being a Maya, which correspond to the interests of external agents. It is concluded that the introduction of tourism and the production of ethnic representations are elements of a government practice in which a productive power of new subjectivities, necessities and desires are expressed.
