Compases y texturas del tiempo entre los mayas: lo dicho, lo escrito y lo vivido
Se conoce la extremada atenciĂłn que los mayas concedieron y conceden al tiempo, omnipresente en las mĂșltiples formas de cĂłmputo elaboradas a lo largo de siglos, que permean y fundan, en gran medida, la organizaciĂłn social y el control polĂtico y religioso. No obstante, si bien fueron estudiados con mucha atenciĂłn los diversos calendarios que regularon y ritmaron la vida y la historia de los mayas, otras facetas de su manera de concebir, medir y vivir el tiempo han sido poco abordadas. Desde l..
Measures and textures of time among the Maya: the spoken, the written, and the lived
It is well known that the Maya conceded and continue to concede extreme attention to time, omnipresent in the multiple forms of computation elaborated over centuries, that permeate and found, to a large extent, social organization as well as political and religious control. However, although the various calendars that regulated and paced the life and history of the Maya have been studied with great attention, other facets of their way of conceiving, measuring, and living time have been seldom..
The Maya wall paintings from Chajul, Guatemala
The recent renovation of a house in Chajul in western Guatemala has revealed an unparalleled set of wall paintings, most probably from the Colonial period (AD 1524-1821). The iconography of the murals combines pre-Columbian elements with imported European components in a domestic rather than a religious setting, making them a unique example of Colonial-period art. Here, the authors present the results of iconographic, chemical and radiocarbon analyses of the Chajul house paintings. Dating to the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries AD, the paintings may be connected to a revival of the local religious organisations (cofradĂas) in the context of waning Spanish colonial control

The nuclear imperialism-necropolitics nexus: contextualizing Chinese-Uyghur oppression in our nuclear age
This paper provides a review of the Peopleâs Republic of Chinaâs (PRC) nuclear warfare and uranium mining programs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Its scope spans from the PRCâs first nuclear weapon test in Lop Nor, to contemporary issues surrounding in-situ leach uranium mining in the Yili basin, which now provides a third of PRCâs uranium. By exploring these scenarios, a lens can be placed on the parameters and limitations to Uyghur life within a nuclear state. This paper draws on the work of Achille Mbembeâs necropolitics, whereby power is persistently exercised as violence, to consider the entangled aftermath of nuclear imperialism and its effects to Uyghur bodies, environment and culture. While racialized nuclear imperialism presented Uyghur lives as inconsequential to progress in Xinjiang, post-Cold War necropolitics presents Uyghur culture as a direct threat to the progress and values of the PRC sovereign state. This paper proposes that the ongoing exploitation of nuclear Xinjiang provides an additional motivation for state-imposed necropolitical sanctions upon Uyghur people. This paper also presents anew theoretical contribution, the ânuclear imperialism-necropolitics nexusâ, which offers away to consider the entangled legacies of spaces of nuclear activity, from nuclear imperialism to the post-Cold War world
