Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo central da presente dissertação é analisar a concepção de humano para os maias segundo suas histórias e cosmogonias produzidas no período colonial. Portanto, buscamos os atributos e qualidades do humano maia. Para tal fim, fazemos uma análise também dos predicados dos outros seres que habitam o cosmos maia (deuses, entes sobre-humanos e animais), para compará-los aos humanos e, assim, aproximar-nos dos atributos especificamente humanos para os maias. A análise é feita através de 3 histórias e cosmogonias maias: o Popol Vuh, o Memorial de Sololá e o Chilam Balam de Chumayel. Através dos três relatos nos foi possível perceber que para os maias não existe uma linha rígida que separa humanos e não-humanos, sendo que essas duas categorias de seres que habitam o cosmos convivem, compartilham de algumas características, e tem, cada qual, seu papel na manutenção do universo. Ou seja, humanos e não-humanos possuem papéis sociais, estão envoltos numa mesma sociedade, o que pode apontar para uma visão maia da noção de pessoa bastante diferente da visão ocidental, aproximando-se da visão que possuem os indígenas da América Amazônica

Abstract in English
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the idea of human for the Maya, according to their histories and cosmogonies produced during the Colonial period. Seeking the attributes and qualities of the Mayan human, we also analyze the predicates of other beings that inhabit the Mayan cosmos (gods, animals, non-humans entities) so that, by comparison, we can approach the specifically human attributes. The investigation is done through three Mayan histories and cosmogonies: the Popol Vuh, the Memorial de Solalá and the Chilam Balam of Chumayel. Throughout the three documents it was possible to notice that, for the Maya, there isnt a rigid line separating humans from non-humans, and these two categories of beings that live in the cosmos share characteristics in common, having, each of them, its part in the maintenance of the universe. That is, humans and non-humans each possess a social role, and are bound together in the same society; which could point to a Mayan perspective on the notion of human that is very distinct from the western approach, and similar to the Amazonian societies
