Blood and Beauty brings together a diverse, prestigious group of
contributors to debate this charged topic in an open, critical and
frank interchange. Authors specializing in the anthropology,
archaeology, art history, and linguistics of Mesoamerica and
Central America bring new data and interpretive strategies to bear
on the nature of institutional violence in these ancient societies.
The volume covers a broad time frame, from circa 1200 B.C.E. to the
sixteenth century, including recent ethnography. The volume
endeavors to contextualize violence and violent acts within the
matrix of indigenous thought and culture. Chapter topics reflect
that desire, including localized, culturally specific, examinations
of warfare, sacrifice, ballgames, boxing, pain, and healing. While
there is no overarching theoretical perspective, the contributors
are sensitive to current theoretical discourse in the field,
including recent perspectives on organized violence and the agency
of artworks.
