Based on three journalistic notes published in 1958, this article provides a detailed reconstruction of the dramatic looting that a group of archaeological sites located in northern Chiapas was subjected to that same year. The historical importance of these monuments, and the severe damage to Mexico's cultural heritage that this fact represented, are highlighted by the authors of the article. The contribution includes the complete transcription of the journalistic notes for the eventual consultation of the reader interested in this topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As celebrations associated with Catholic and indigenous calendars, carnivals in Chiapas are occasions to gather, interact positively in a group setting, celebrate, and create semiotic resilience. To date, the systematic study of carnivals in Chiapas is an emergent field: Intraregional differences and similarities are still poorly understood, as are the carnivals' regional development in historical, territorial, social, and ethnic terms. In this article, we undertake a historical analysis of carnivals in Chiapas by means of a bibliographical and historiographical systematization, a semiotic and symbolic contrastive analysis of 24 carnivals, and a proposed general timeline of the carnival phenomenon in Chiapas. The principal objective is to contribute to and strengthen the study of the carnival and to encourage a critical discussion of what this subject might offer to a new type of "other" history.
