Heilige Orte sind vom alltäglichen Leben abgesonderte Stätten mit einer sakralen Bedeutung. Sie werden verbunden mit besonderen Symbolhandlungen ritueller Natur und sind insofern auch Kultorte, die der Konstituierung gemeinschaftlicher und individueller Identität dienen. Exemplarisch werden Orte der Antike aus archäologischer, althistorischer, religionswissenschaftlicher und theologischer Perspektive. Sie beschreiben auf unterschiedlichste Weise die Transformationsprozesse, die bei der Ausbildung heiliger Orte, ihrem oft über viele Jahrhunderte währenden Betrieb, ihrem Niedergang und ihrer neuerlichen Nutzung im Spiel waren. Die sehr verschiedenen Beiträge sind verbunden durch die Frage nach Diskontinuität und Kontinuität der Wirkungsgeschichten heiliger Orte und Räume.

"This exciting collection explores the interplay of religion and politics in the precolumbian Americas. Each thought-provoking contribution positions religion as a primary factor influencing political innovations in this period, reinterpreting major changes through an examination of how religion both facilitated and constrained transformations in political organization and status relations. Offering unparalleled geographic and temporal coverage of this subject, Religion and Politics in the Ancient Americas spans the entire precolumbian period, from Preceramic Peru to the Contact period in eastern North America, with case studies from North, Middle, and South America. Religion and Politics in the Ancient Americas considers the ways in which religion itself generated political innovation and thus enabled political centralization to occur. It moves beyond a "Great Tradition" focus on elite religion to understand how local political authority was negotiated, contested, bolstered, and undermined within diverse constituencies, demonstrating how religion has transformed non-Western societies. As well as offering readers fresh perspectives on specific archaeological cases, this book breaks new ground in the archaeological examination of religion and society."--Page 4 of cover.
