Maya Apolcalypse is the record of fieldwork that, as often happens, ended up quite differently from the way it was originally planned. In conducting a research project about speaking in tongues (glossolalia), Felicitas Goodman recorded this non-ordinary behavior among English- and Spanish-speaking members of Pentecostal congregations. A Mexican Apostolic Pentecostoal minister introduced Goodman to the preacher in a Maya village in Yucatan. The congregation she came to know in 1969 experienced a 'crisis cult' in response to a prediction of the end of the world, which was to take place on September 1, 1970. Goodman subsequently spent a part of every year until 1986 with the women of the congregation. Maya Apocalypse is a record of that fieldwork, which eventually covered not only the events in the temple, both ordinary and extraordinary, but also the lives of the women who acted as informants, especially Dońa Eus, to whom this work is affectionately dedicated.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Maya Apocalypse is the record of a fieldwork experience which, as happens so often, ended up quite differently from the way it was originally planned. Felicitas Goodman was conducting in a research project about speaking in tongues (glossolalia). After recording this non-ordinary speech behaviour among English and Spanish speaking members of Pentecostal congregations, she sought to discover whether speaking a so-called "exotic," i.e. non-Indo-European language would in some way change certain basic linguistic patterns. A Mexican Apostolic Pentecostal minister kindly recommended the preacher in a Maya village in Yucatan (Mexico). The congregation she came to know in 1969 subsequently experienced a "crisis cult" in response to a prediction of the end of the world, which was to take place on September 1, 1970. Goodman subsequently spent a part of every year until 1986 with the women of the congregation. Maya Apocalypse is a record of that fieldwork, which eventually covered not only the events in the temple, both ordinary and extraordinary, but also the lives of the women who acted as informants, especially Dona Eus, to whom this work is affectionately dedicated. A discussion of speaking in tongues and the role of women in a Yucatan Pentecostal congregation. Felicitas Goodman spent part of every year between 1969 and 1986 with the women of the congregation. This is a record of her fieldwork, covering events both ordinary and extraordinary. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
