Editat de Davíd Carrasco, Lindsay Jones, Scott Sessionsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2002 – vârsta de la 18 până la 88 ani
For
more
than
a
millennium
the
great
Mesoamerican
city
of
Teotihuacan
(c.
150
B.C.E.
-
750
C.E.)
has
been
imagined
and
reimagined
by
a
host
of
subsequent
cultures,
including
our
own.Mesoamerica's
Classic
Heritageengages
the
subject
of
the
unity
and
diversity
of
pre-Hispanic
Mesoamerica
by
focusing
on
the
classic
heritage
of
this
ancient
city.
This
new
volume
is
the
product
of
several
years
of
research
by
members
of
Princeton
University's
Moses
Mesoamerican
Archive
and
Research
Project
and
Mexico's
Proyecto
Teotihuacán.
Offering
a
variety
of
disciplinary
perspectives
-
including
the
history
of
religions,
anthropology,
archaeology,
and
art
history
-
and
a
wealth
of
new
data,Mesoamerica's
Classic
Heritageexamines
Teotihuacan's
rippling
influence
across
Mesoamerican
time
and
space,
including
important
patterns
of
continuity
and
change,
and
its
relationships,
both
historical
and
symbolic,
with
Tenochtitlan,
Cholula,
and
various
Maya
communities.
The
contributors
toMesoamerica's
Classic
Heritageoffer
a
wide
range
of
individual
interpretations,
but
they
agree
that
Teotihuacan,
more
than
any
other
pre-Hispanic
center,
was
a
paradigmatic
source
that
formed
the
art
and
architecture,
cosmology
and
ritual
life,
and
conceptions
of
urbanism
and
political
authority
for
significant
parts
of
the
Mesoamerican
world.
This
great
city
achieved
the
prestige
of
being
the
site
of
the
creation
of
the
cosmos
and
of
effective
social
and
political
space
in
Mesoamerica
through
its
capacity
to
symbolize,
perform,
and
export
its
imperial
authority.
These
essays
reveal
the
different
ways
in
which
Teotihuacan's
classic
heritage
both
fed
and
fed
on
the
dynamic
interactivity
of
the
entire
area.
Whether
or
not
a
paradigm
shift
in
Mesoamerican
studies
is
taking
place,
certainly
a
new
contextual
understanding
of
Teotihuacan
and
the
diversities
and
unities
of
Mesoamerica
is
emerging
in
these
pages.
