%0 Journal Article %T Utop¨ªa y arcadia en los relatos de Alice Dixon Le Plongeon %A Espa£¿a %A Romina %A Depetris %A Carolina %J Estudios de cultura maya %D 2011 %I UNAM, Instituto de Investigaciones Filol¨®gicas %X the purpose of this paper is to present two possible epistemic models understood as models of interpretation and representation of a reality that accompanied alice dixon le plongeon on her trip around the yucat¨¢n peninsula in the second half of the 19th century. to do so, we focused on the articles which, she herself, compiled in here and there in yucat¨¢n (1886). in them we analyzed the reconstruction of the mayan past in utopian terms, and the consideration of contemporary yucat¨¢n in arcadian terms; the writer finds both models useful, not only to appraise mayan reality but also to criticize the degradation of occidental modern socities of which she was part. %K yucatan %K alice dixon le plongeon %K utopia %K arcadia %K representation. %U http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0185-25742011000200005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
