Paperback. Condition: New. When Europeans came to the American continent in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, they were confronted with what they perceived as sacrificial practices. Representations of Tupinamba cannibals, Aztecs slicing human hearts out, and idolatrous Incas flooded the early modern European imagination. But there was no less horror within European borders; during the early modern period no region was left untouched by the disasters of war.Sacrifice and Conversion in the Early Modern Atlantic World illuminates a particular aspect of the mutual influences between the European invasions of the American continent and the crisis of Christianity during the Reform and its aftermaths: the conceptualization and representation of sacrifice. Because of its centrality in religious practices and systems, sacrifice becomes a crucial way to understand not only cultural exchange, but also the power struggles between American and European societies in colonial times. How do cultures interpret sacrificial practices other than their own? What is the role of these interpretations in conversion? From the central perspective of sacrifice, these essays examine the encounter between European and American sacrificial conceptions-expressed in texts, music, rituals, and images-and their intellectual, cultural, religious, ideological, and artistic derivations.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Edited by Maria Berbara. English Text. Milano, 2022; paperback, pp. 380, ill., cm 17x24. (I Tatti Research Series. 3). Il volume analizza la diffusione di testi, musica, immagini, riti e idee relativi ai concetti di sacrificio e conversioni nell'Atlantico della prima età moderna. Quando gli europei arrivarono nel continente americano tra XV e XVI secolo, trovarono pratiche rituali percepite come sacrificali. L'immaginario europeo fu invaso da rappresentazioni dei cannibali tupinamba, aztechi che estraevano cuori o idolatri. Ma ciò che l'Europa stava vivendo all'interno dei suoi confini non era causa di un orrore minore: durante il primo periodo moderno nessuna regione europea fu lasciata indenne dai disastri della guerra. Il libro illumina questo particolare aspetto delle influenze reciproche tra l'invasione europea del continente americano e la crisi della cristianità durante la Riforma: la concettualizzazione e la rappresentazione del sacrificio. Per via della centralità nelle pratiche e sistemi religiosi, il sacrificio è uno snodo cruciale per comprendere non solo lo scambio culturale, ma anche lotta per il potere tra società americane ed europee in epoca coloniale. Come vengono interpretate pratiche sacrificali diverse dalle proprie e qual è il ruolo di queste interpretazioni nel processo di conversione al cristianesimo? Dalla prospettiva centrale del sacrificio, i vari articoli di questo libro esaminano l'incontro tra le concezioni sacrificali europee e americane - espresse in testi, musica, riti o immagini - e le loro derivazioni intellettuali, culturali, religiose, ideologiche e artistiche.
