Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la vasta producción de Plinio el Viejo solo ha llegado a nosotros la Historia Natural, en treinta y siete libros, sin duda la enciclopedia antigua más amplia y erudita que conocemos. Esta obra es tanto natural como cultural: contempla el mundo, ante y sobre todo, como el escenario de la vida y actividad humana y, movida por esa concepción, pone en primer plano todo cuanto el hombre ha sido capaz de hacer con la naturaleza. La quinta entrega de esta vasta obra editada por Gredos incluye los libros XVII-XIX, que concluyen la amplia sección dedicada a las plantas, iniciada en los libros XII-XVI, y un amplísimo y detallado triple índice en el que se recogen los nombres propios de persona y de lugar, y los términos botánicos. Como en los anteriores volúmenes de Historia Natural, la traducción, notas e índices de la obra corren a cargo de un equipo de especialistas coordinados por Ana M.a Moure Casas, Catedrática de la Universidad Complutense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Por su amor a la naturaleza, Plinio conecta fácilmente con la sensibilidad del lector actual. Los libros XII-XVI de la Historia natural tratan de botánica –que, junto con la zoología del volumen anterior, constituye el verdadero núcleo de toda la obra–. Plinio orienta su tratamiento hacia la medicina y los remedios salutíferos, como es propio de la tendencia práctica dominante en las producciones científicas de los romanos. Además, a Plinio le interesa destacar en qué momento se introduce el cultivo de los árboles en Roma, especialmente el de los frutales; cuándo comienzan a llegar productos de lujo importados de tierras lejanas, como el azúcar o la pimienta; cuál es la utilidad de los árboles en la alimentación o en diferentes industrias, desde la perfumería hasta la elaboración del papiro para la escritura, y qué función institucional desempeñan en la vida social, política y religiosa de Roma. El punto de vista que adopta Plinio es el del naturalista capaz de citar todas las variedades conocidas de cada especie, pero también el de un espíritu inquieto atento a subrayar todos los detalles culturales, históricos e incluso fabulosos que acompañan la llegada del árbol a Roma.

Download or read book The Power of Huacas written by Claudia Brosseder and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive archival research, The Power of Huacas is the first book to take account of the reciprocal effects of religious colonization as they impacted Andean populations and, simultaneously, dramatically changed the culture and beliefs of Spanish Christians. Winner, Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in the category of Historical Studies, American Academy of Religion, 2015 The role of the religious specialist in Andean cultures of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries was a complicated one, balanced between local traditions and the culture of the Spanish. In The Power of Huacas, Claudia Brosseder reconstructs the dynamic interaction between religious specialists and the colonial world that unfolded around them, considering how the discourse about religion shifted on both sides of the Spanish and Andean relationship in complex and unexpected ways. In The Power of Huacas, Brosseder examines evidence of transcultural exchange through religious history, anthropology, and cultural studies. Taking Andean religious specialists—or hechizeros (sorcerers) in colonial Spanish terminology—as a starting point, she considers the different ways in which Andeans and Spaniards thought about key cultural and religious concepts. Unlike previous studies, this important book fully outlines both sides of the colonial relationship; Brosseder uses extensive archival research in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Spain, Italy, and the United States, as well as careful analysis of archaeological and art historical objects, to present the Andean religious worldview of the period on equal footing with that of the Spanish. Throughout the colonial period, she argues, Andean religious specialists retained their own unique logic, which encompassed specific ideas about holiness, nature, sickness, and social harmony. The Power of Huacas deepens our understanding of the complexities of assimilation, showing that, within the maelstrom of transcultural exchange in the Spanish Americas, European paradigms ultimately changed more than Andean ones.
