Allen. 520 $a "Sacred Matter: Animacy and Authority in the Americas examines animism in Pre-Columbian America, focusing on how objects and places played central social roles in practices that expressed and sanctified political authority in the Andes, Amazon, and Mesoamerica. Pre-Columbian peoples staked claims to their authority when they animated matter by giving life to grandiose buildings, speaking with deified boulders, and killing valued objects. Likewise, things and places often animated people by demanding labor, care, and nourishment. In these practices of animation, things were cast as active subjects, agents of political change, and representatives of communities. People were positioned according to specific social roles and stations: workers, worshippers, revolutionaries, tribute payers, or authorities. Such practices manifested political visions of social order by defining relationships between people, things, and the environment. Contributors to this volume present a range of perspectives (archaeological, art historical, ethnohistorical, and linguistic) to shed light on how Pre-Columbian social authority was claimed and sanctified in practices of transformation and transubstantiation-that is, practices that birthed, converted, or destroyed certain objects and places, as well as the social and natural order from which these things were said to emerge"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Animism $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Authority. 650 0 $a Indians of Mexico $x Religion. 650 0 $a Indians of Central America $x Religion. 650 0 $a Indians of South America $x Religion. 650 0 $a Indians of Mexico $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Indians of Central America $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Indians of South America $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government $y To 1519. 651 0 $a Central America $x Politics and government $y To 1821. 651 0 $a South America $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Animism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809637 650 7 $a Authority. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821653 650 7 $a Indians of Central America $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969494 650 7 $a Indians of Central America $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969497 650 7 $a Indians of Mexico $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969609 650 7 $a Indians of Mexico $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969615 650 7 $a Indians of South America $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970065 650 7 $a Indians of South America $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970071 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Central America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244535 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a South America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244515 648 7 $a To 1821 $2 fast 700 1 $a Kosiba, Steve, $e editor. 700 1 $a Janusek, John Wayne, $d 1963- $e editor. 700 1 $a Cummins, Tom, $d 1949- $e editor. 830 0 $a Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian symposia and colloquia. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1A120C9678F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
