Abstract

URIBE INIESTA, Rodolfo. Landscapes, Narratives and Experience: The Virtualization of Mayan Landscape. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2012, vol.40, pp.227-265. ISSN 0185-2574.

The territory defined in the last 30 years of the twentieth century as The Mayan World has suffered a severe transformation since it has been incorporated to the main world touristic demand. Changes mostly are related to territorial organization, and most important to landscape and even cities, beaches and archeological sites. This changes adjust the places, the landscapes and sites to the expectations of the cultural narratives and infrastructure, routes and times of the touristic sector. This has resulted in a fractal organization of space where the main touristic and cultural meaningful emplacements show each one of its elements of all the regional related historic narratives in a thematic park logic.

Keywords : Cultural Studies; Mayan World; Cultural Narratives; Fractal Order; Tourism.
