Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Susan Kellogg's history of the Aztecs offers a concise yet comprehensive assessment of Aztec history and civilization, emphasizing how material life and the economy functioned in relation to politics, religion, and intellectual and artistic developments. Appreciating the vast number of sources available but also their limitations, Kellogg focuses on three concepts throughout value, transformation, and balance. Aztecs created value, material, and symbolic worth. Value was created through transformations of bodies, things, and ideas. The overall goal of value creation and transformation was to keep the Aztec worldthe cosmos, the earth, its inhabitantsin balance, a balance often threatened by spiritual and other forms of chaos. The book highlights the ethnicities that constituted Aztec peoples and sheds light on religion, political and economic organization, gender, sexuality and family life, intellectual achievements, and survival. Seeking to correct common misperceptions, Kellogg stresses the humanity of the Aztecs and problematizes the use of the terms 'human sacrifice', 'myth', and 'conquest'. This book sheds new light on the Aztec civilization by correcting common misperceptions and highlighting their language, economy, religion, and intellectual and artistic developments. An innovative and accessible text for those interested in new ideas about the Aztecs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
