Download or read book El poder de los Incas La organizaci n social econ mica religiosa y pol tica de un imperio written by Alan L. Kolata and published by Fondo Editorial de la PUCP. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Llegaremos a comprender a los incas y su imperio en términos de interacciones continuas entre los agentes sociales individuales y colectivos que persiguen sus propios intereses y las estructuras socioculturales duraderas que dieron forma a las sociedades andinas durante muchas generaciones. Es decir, llegaremos a conocer la sociedad e historia inca como el producto complejo de la agencia individual y colectiva y de las profundamente arraigadas estructuras sociales andinas. Este libro, entonces, hará una doble tarea al proporcionar descripciones y análisis detallados de la historia, la organización social, la economía política, el arte de gobernar y la ideología religiosa inca, mientras ofrece un marco interpretativo de la sociedad y la política inca derivadas de la teoría social comparada. Como veremos, las estructuras sociales, los conceptos políticos, los sistemas económicos, las prácticas religiosas, las estrategias de poder y las disposiciones culturales de los incas tienen una comparabilidad general con los de otros estados e imperios indígenas, pero también poseen características únicas que hacen que explorar el Tahuantinsuyu sea un estudio de análisis social fascinante.
Download or read book Economia y sociedad del imperio Inca written by Bernardo Corro-Barrientos and published by ibukku, LLC. This book was released on 2018 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante el siglo XX se formularon varias teor?as sobre el imperio Inca y sus caracter?sticas. Pese a la diversidad de interpretaciones existe, sin embargo, un amplio consenso en considerar que la poblaci?n del imperio estaba constituido por peque?os campesinos agr?colas viviendo en comunidades y dominadas por un Estado central. Bajo este esquema simple no existir?an otras estructuras intermedias, ni superiores ni inferiores ni sociales ni productivas ni institucionales, y la econom?a funcionar?a sin din?mica hacia adelante, sin desarrollo, sin progreso acumulativo. Se tratar?a de una sociedad y de una econom?a estacionaria y estancada. Estas visiones reduccionistas no permiten distinguir que el imperio Inca conformaba en realidad una sociedad constituida de estructuras productivas y tecnol?gicas muy din?micas, tendientes al desarrollo econ?mico y al bienestar tanto de sus elites como del conjunto de su poblaci?n. Este dinamismo contribu?a fuertemente a la transformaci?n de una parte gigantesca de la regi?n llamada posteriormente Am?rica del Sur. En la presente obra se analizan las diferentes interpretaciones mencionadas? y del imperio anterior Tiwanacu-, as? como sobre los distintos grupos sociales que lo constitu?an, tanto de arriba como de abajo. Se estudian igualmente los distintos sectores productivos tales como la agricultura grande y peque?a, la miner?a, la metalurgia, la ganader?a, la infraestructura y otros, en su relaci?n con los grupos sociales. Se analiza finalmente con atenci?n la din?mica de la ciencia y de la tecnolog?a, actividades relevantes en esta sociedad, sobre todo aquellas en base a los metales diferentes al oro y la plata. El imperio Inca, pese a sus pocas d?cadas de vida, ya hab?a dejado atr?s la edad de piedra y se hab?a introducido firmemente en la edad del bronce, continuando los procesos generados por imperios anteriores de la regi?n. Otros imperios contempor?neos de Am?rica se encontraban m?s atrasados. El conjunto de estos an?lisis permite comprender tambi?n c?mo, con la llegada de los conquistadores espa?oles, se produjo el derrumbe brutal, instant?neo y total de esta gigantesca y magn?fica sociedad. El autor, de nacionalidad boliviana, es doctor en Econom?a por la Universidad Nacional Aut?noma de M?xico (UNAM) y master en Antropolog?a y licenciado en Sociolog?a por la Universidad de Burdeos en Francia.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book The Cultural Worlds of the Jesuits in Colonial Latin America written by Linda Newson and published by Institute of Latin American Studies. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2017 marked the 250-year anniversary of the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spanish territories. The Jesuits made major contributions to the cultural and intellectual life of Latin America. When they were expelled in 1767 the Jesuits were administering over 250,000 Indians in over 200 missions. The Jesuits pioneered interest in indigenous languages and cultures, compiling dictionaries and writing some of the earliest ethnographies of the region. They also explored the region's natural history and made significant contributions to the development of science and medicine. On their estates and in the missions they introduced new plants, livestock, and agricultural techniques, such as irrigation. In addition, they left a lasting legacy on the region's architecture, art, and music. The volume demonstrates the diversity of Jesuit contributions to Latin American culture. Published works often focus on one theme or region that is approached from a particular disciplinary perspective. This volume is therefore unusual in considering not only the range of Jesuit activities but also the diversity of perspectives from which they may be approached. It includes papers from scholars of history, linguistics, religion, art, architecture, cartography, music, medicine and science.
Download or read book Genealogies for the Present in Cultural Anthropology written by Bruce M. Knauft and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of tensions between modern and postmodern sensibilities, what larger directions now emerge in cultural anthropology? In this major work, Bruce Knauft takes stock of important recent initiatives in cultural and critical theory. By combining critical reviews and ethnographic engagements with fresh readings of major figures and approaches, the work develops a larger vantage point for considering the dispersing influence of practice theories, postmodernism, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, modern/post-positive feminism, and multicultural criticisms.

Download or read book At the Crossroads of the Earth and the Sky written by Gary Urton and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Above Misminay, the sky also is so divided by the alternation of the two axes of the Milky Way passing through the zenith. This mirror-image quadri-partition of terrestrial and celestial spheres is such that a point within one of the quarters of the earth is related to a point within the corresponding celestial quarter. The transition between the earth and the sky occurs at the horizon, where sacred mountains are related to topographic and celestial features. Based on fieldwork in Misminay, Peru, Gary Urton details a cosmology in which the Milky Way is central. This is the first study that provides a description and analysis of the astronomical and cosmological system in a contemporary community in the Americas. Separate chapters take up the sun, the moon, meteorological phenomena, the stars, and the planets. Star-to-star constellations, the "animal" dark-cloud constellations that cut through the Milky Way, and certain twilight- and midnight-zenith stars are analyzed in terms of their spatial and temporal integration within an indigenous cosmological framework. Urton breaks new ground by demonstrating the indigenous merging of such forms of "precise knowledge" as astronomy, meteorology, agriculture, and the correlation of astronomical and biological cycles within a single calendar system. More than sixty diagrams clarify this Quechua system of astronomy and relate it to more familiar principles of Western astronomy and cosmology.
