Download or read book Monuments Empires and Resistance written by Tom D. Dillehay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In this book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study combines developments in social theory with the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.

Download or read book Cartoon Molecules written by Robin Ouzman Hislop and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y'know, somewhere along the line, Ezra Pound and John Cooper Clarke rolled dice for this man's soul, and I can't say who won. Marie Marshall, author of "I am not a Fish," nominated for the 2013 T S Eliot Prize Perhaps the most striking feature of this volume is the poet's portrayal of humanity, which deprives us of any escape from the darker, more insidious depths of our human condition. Richard Vallance, editor of "Phoenix Rises from the Ashes, an international anthology of sonnets" Counterpointing the abstruse and the inescapably basic, these poems draw upon a power that surprises... Hislop's retro-modernist recovery of vision argues for a refreshed perception of poetic possibility. R.W. Haynes, author of "Horton Foote" Poetry that delivered me to a speculation I wouldn't have reached otherwise. And I find that's a critical function of Hislop's poetry. It gathers, then points away. Norman Ball, author of "Serpentrope"

Download or read book Secret Science written by María M. Portuondo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the New World raised many questions for early modern scientists: What did these lands contain? Where did they lie in relation to Europe? Who lived there, and what were their inhabitants like? Imperial expansion necessitated changes in the way scientific knowledge was gathered, and Spanish cosmographers in particular were charged with turning their observations of the New World into a body of knowledge that could be used for governing the largest empire the world had ever known. As María M. Portuondo here shows, this cosmographic knowledge had considerable strategic, defensive, and monetary value that royal scientists were charged with safeguarding from foreign and internal enemies. Cosmography was thus a secret science, but despite the limited dissemination of this body of knowledge, royal cosmographers applied alternative epistemologies and new methodologies that changed the discipline, and, in the process, how Europeans understood the natural world.
