Painted Pottery of Honduras: Object Lives and Itineraries
ISBN: 9789004341494 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Painted Pottery of Honduras Rosemary Joyce describes the development of the Ulua Polychrome tradition in Honduras from the fifth to sixteenth centuries AD, and critically examines archaeological research on these objects that began in the nineteenth century. Previously treated as a marginal product of Classic Maya society, this study shows that Ulua Polychromes are products of the ritual and social life of indigenous societies composed of wealthy farmers engaged in long-distance relationships extending from Costa Rica to Mexico. Drawing on concepts of agency, practice, and intention,...

Gender and Power in Prehispanic Mesoamerica
ISBN: 9780292740655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Gender was a fluid potential, not a fixed category, before the Spaniards came to Mesoamerica. Childhood training and ritual shaped, but did not set, adult gender, which could encompass third genders and alternative sexualities as well as "male" and "female." At the height of the Classic period, Maya rulers presented themselves as embodying the entire range of gender possibilities, from male through female, by wearing blended costumes and playing male and female roles in state ceremonies. This landmark book offers the first comprehensive description and analysis of gender and power... Gender was a fluid potential, not a fixed category, before the Spaniards came to Mesoamerica.

ISBN: 9780812217230 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "An impressive set of papers that must be read by everyone concerned with integrating material objects into their analyses of complex cognitive aspects of culture. This sublime collection reflects the cutting edge of a mature discipline."--Journal of American Folklore "Levi-Strauss's latter-day thinking on houses and house societies offers an antikinship kinship theory that puts a new slant on time, family, and hierarchy. Skillfully edited by Joyce and Gillespie, the volume Beyond Kinship illustrates the breadth of investigations into history, people, and place that Levi...

Cerro Palenque: Power and Identity on the Maya Periphery
ISBN: 9781477306154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Excavations at Cerro Palenque, a hilltop site in the Ulua Valley of northwest Honduras, revolutionized scholars' ideas about the Terminal Classic period (roughly ad 850-1050) of Maya history and about the way in which cultures of the southeast Maya periphery related to the Lowland Maya. In this pathfinding study, Rosemary Joyce combines archaeological data gleaned from site research in 1980-1983 with anthropological theory about the evolution of social power to reconstruct something of the culture and lifeways of the prehispanic inhabitants of Cerro Palenque. Joyce organizes her... Excavations at Cerro Palenque, a hilltop site in the Ulua Valley of northwest Honduras, revolutionized scholars' ideas about the Terminal Classic p... |

Disturbing Bodies: Perspectives on Forensic Anthropology
ISBN: 9781938645556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As bodies are revealed, so are hidden and often incommensurate understandings of the body after death. The theme of "disturbing bodies" has a double valence, evoking both the work that anthropologists do and also the ways in which the dead can, in turn, disturb the living through their material qualities, through dreams and other forms of presence, and through the political claims often articulated around them. These may include national or ethnic narratives that lay claims to bodies, personal memories and histories maintained by relatives, or the constitution of the corpse through...

ISBN: 9781938645501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Complementing the concept of object biography, the contributors to this volume use the complex construct of "itineraries" to trace the places in which objects come to rest or are active, the routes through which things circulate, and the means by which they are moved. The contributors advocate for a broader engagement with the mobility of things, from the point at which things emerge from source material to the organization of their manufacture and use, their subsequent movements as mediated by economic and ritual exchanges, their deposition in places that become archaeological sites,...
