Cosmology or cosmological ideas are often sought to solve problems in our daily lives. This book aims to rethink the topic of cosmology in anthropology through an ethnographic description of the many entanglements of cosmological ideas and the personal and political lives of individuals within the K’iche’ Maya community of Momostenango, Guatemala. It addresses the question of why they turn to cosmology in an everyday context and how it is powerful and efficient for them. It also shows the way Indigenous cosmological ideas are echoed by contemporary philosophical and scientific conceptions.
Alonso Rodrigo Zamora Corona teaches Ethnology at the National School of Anthropology and History in Mexico. His research interests are in Indigenous cosmologies, ontology and Indigenous writing systems in Mesoamerica.
