EDGEWALKER:
A Conversation with Linda Schele
Linda
Schele was one of the leading Mayanists of her generation and the
dominant personality in the field of Maya studies. Her death last
year deprived the world of an author (and co-author) of groundbreaking
works of incisive scholarship, bringing the world of the Maya to
the widest public. An artist and teacher by profession, and not
a trained academic, Linda saw herself as nudging the field along
from the periphery rather than the scholarly center. In this exclusive
clip from the 50-minute video, Linda defines what it means to be
an "Edgewalker".
The "Edgewalker" video was made as a labor of love for
Linda. A significant portion of the gross proceeds from sales goes
toward the chair which Linda and her husband David endowed at the
University of Texas at Austin.
