Book Synopsis Powerful Places in the Ancient Andes by : Justin Jennings
Download or read book Powerful Places in the Ancient Andes written by Justin Jennings. This book was released on 2018-11-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andean peoples recognize places as neither sacred nor profane, but rather in terms of the power they emanate and the identities they materialize and reproduce. This book argues that a careful consideration of Andean conceptions of powerful places is critical not only to understanding Andean political and religious history but to rethinking sociological theories on landscapes more generally. The contributors evaluate ethnographic and ethnohistoric analogies against the material record to illuminate the ways landscapes were experienced and politicized over the last three thousand years.
