LOZADA-TOLEDO, Josuhé e VIGLIANI, Silvina. A BREATH OF LIFE ON THE WALL. ROCK ART AND PERSONHOOD AMONG THE POST-CLASSICAL MAYA OF LAKE MENSABAK, CHIAPAS. LiminaR [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.225-241. Epub 02-Mar-2021. ISSN 2007-8900. https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v19i1.798.
The rock art found on the cliffs of Lake Mensabak evinces elements linked to the notion and construction of the Mayan person during the post-classical period. To approach the way in which the “person” was conceptualized in the past, we first review these native concepts through Maya ethnographic and linguistic information within the anthropological model of personhood. Subsequently, we analyze two rock art panels on the Mensabak cliff and conclude by proposing that the Maya notion of person during the post-classical period in the region had a dividual and permeable character.
