LA SOCIEDAD CASA COMO MODELO EXPLICATIVO DE LA ORGANIZACIÓN SOCIAL, IDENTIDAD Y POLÍTICA ENTRE LOS MAYAS DEL PERIODO CLÁSICO. EVIDENCIAS Y REFLEXIONES

The French anthropologist Levi-Strauss introduced the concept of house societies in the late 1970s. but he has received little academic attention since, even though researchers such as Armando Anaya (1996) and Susan Gillespie (2000, 2011), among others, have exposed the academic benefits of the model to explain social relations, power, symbols and pre-Hispanic practices in social structure. This work follows the line of the authors mentioned, but it will not be a simple review of them, rather we will reflect a range of information that reinforces the structuralist proposal as a model of interpretation.
