Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Los símbolos de fertilidad, abundancia y poder que distinguen a la serpiente emplumada entre los olmecas, mayas y teotihuacanos perduraron en los reinos y culturas posteriores.» Este libro es un recorrido por los cimientos de la identidad de los pueblos mesoamericanos: los mitos fundadores, las divinidades que crearon y ordenaron el mundo, los ritos y la forma de organizar el tiempo, y, finalmente, los héroes legendarios. Es un recorrido, pues, por la memoria sagrada del México antiguo. Así como ocurre en los relatos de otras civilizaciones ancestrales, la creación del universo en los mitos mayas, mixtecos y nahuas comienza con un prólogo en el cielo: divinidades etéreas e inmortales hacen el mundo y a los seres humanos desde alturas remotas. Pero una vez cumplida esta misión primordial, los dioses creadores dejan su lugar a divinidadesque tienen una relación más directa con las necesidades humanas. Es el caso de dos mitos fundamentales para el México prehispánico: el dios del maíz y la serpiente emplumada. El primero, además de representar el triunfo de la vida sobre la muerte, resume las virtudes de un pueblo campesino. La serpiente emplumada, por su parte, es símbolo de fertilidad, pero también de poder y realeza. Finalmente,el libro rastrea la huella histórica de algunos héroes de carne hueso: Ce Ácatl Topiltzin Quetzalcóatl, fundador y gobernante de Tula, y 8 Venado, guerrero notable que unificara toda la Mixteca. Esta obra resume el interés de toda una vida por el México prehispánico. Es ya un libro clave para entender la identidad del México antiguo y para explicar cómo la memoria ancestral cambia y se renueva en el presente.

Download or read book Ritual Violence in the Ancient Andes written by Haagen D. Klaus and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditions of sacrifice exist in almost every human culture and often embody a society’s most meaningful religious and symbolic acts. Ritual violence was particularly varied and enduring in the prehistoric South American Andes, where human lives, animals, and material objects were sacrificed in secular rites or as offerings to the divine. Spectacular discoveries of sacrificial sites containing the victims of violent rituals have drawn ever-increasing attention to ritual sacrifice within Andean archaeology. Responding to this interest, this volume provides the first regional overview of ritual killing on the pre-Hispanic north coast of Peru, where distinct forms and diverse trajectories of ritual violence developed during the final 1,800 years of prehistory. Presenting original research that blends empirical approaches, iconographic interpretations, and contextual analyses, the contributors address four linked themes—the historical development and regional variation of north coast sacrifice from the early first millennium AD to the European conquest; a continuum of ritual violence that spans people, animals, and objects; the broader ritual world of sacrifice, including rites both before and after violent offering; and the use of diverse scientific tools, archaeological information, and theoretical interpretations to study sacrifice. This research proposes a wide range of new questions that will shape the research agenda in the coming decades, while fostering a nuanced, scientific, and humanized approach to the archaeology of ritual violence that is applicable to archaeological contexts around the world.

Download or read book Defending the Land of the Jaguar written by Lane Simonian and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican conservationists have sometimes observed that it is difficult to find a country less interested in the conservation of its natural resources than is Mexico. Yet, despite a long history dedicated to the pursuit of development regardless of its environmental consequences, Mexico has an equally long, though much less developed and appreciated, tradition of environmental conservation. Lane Simonian here offers the first panoramic history of conservation in Mexico from pre-contact times to the current Mexican environmental movement. He explores the origins of conservation and environmental concerns in Mexico, the philosophies and endeavors of Mexican conservationists, and the enactment of important conservation laws and programs. This heretofore untold story, drawn from interviews with leading Mexican conservationists as well as archival research, will be important reading throughout the international community of activists, researchers, and concerned citizens interested in the intertwined issues of conservation and development.
