The Maya Art of Speaking Writing Remediating Indigenous Orality in the Digital Age

"An important examination into how Maya peoples use a variety of technologies-from painting to Facebook and YouTube-to reproduce Maya language and culture in the twenty-first century."-Paul M. Worley, co-author of Unwriting Maya Literature: Ts'Íib as Recorded Knowledge

"The Maya Art of Speaking Writing will be of interest not only in the field of Maya studies but also, more broadly, to scholars and students invested in participatory ethnography, language revitalization, media studies, and digital humanities. Miller's examination of the power dynamics of (re)mediation offers a compelling and nuanced response to ongoing debates in postcolonial, subaltern, and Indigenous studies over how power and privilege impact texts' production and reception."-Hannah Burdette, Chaqui

"Creegan Miller demonstrates the strong connection that orality and writing have in Maya worlds. Readers will find in this book a resource for learning about how Maya's ancient traditions have a direct influence on their mediation practices today in both the real and the virtual world. So, like the premise of this book,students in my classes eventually conclude that writing is typing, painting, weaving, videotaping, performing, and speaking knowledge."-Nora K. Rivera, Textual Cultures
