Revitalization (Other Keyword)
1-8 (8 Records)
The Mission Period in Alta California (AD 1769-1834) radically changed the lives of indigenous people such as the Tongva. The strict discipline of the Franciscans’ enculturation program in the missions contrasted with the relative autonomy of Tongva people on San Clemente Island. Evidence of ritual practice of the Chinigchinich religion at sites such as Lemon Tank on San Clemente Island suggests continuity in Tongva ritual practice into the Mission Period. At the same time, Spanish missionaries...
Consuming Contagion: Taki Onqoy and the Ideological Rejection of European Foodstuffs (16th-Century, Ayacucho, Peru) (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Environmental Intimacies: Political Ecologies of Colonization and Anti-Colonial Resilience", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Andean groups in the Central Highlands of Peru directly experienced colonialism through evangelization and the periodic presence of Spanish authorities rather than violent combat or direct mandates. Through the entanglement of new European foods and animals (wheat, horse, pig, and cow)...
Conversion and Revitalization in a Taki Onqoy Center of Highland Peru (Chicha--Ayacucho) (2016)
In the first generation after the Spanish conquest of Peru, indigenous Andeans and Spaniards entered into a period of change in which daily practices, traditions, and religion were negotiated and reshaped. A local response to Spanish attempts at Christian conversion was the cultural revitalization movement of Taki Onqoy (Quechua-dancing sickness). Primary sources suggest that this movement was practiced by local Andeans and manifested through the rejection of Spanish religious beliefs in favor...
Forgetting, Hybridity, Revitalization, and Persistence: A Model for Understanding the Archaeology of Enslaved African Ritual Practice in the Early Chesapeake (2016)
The topic of ritual practices among the enslaved population of the early Chespeake has been extensively examined,, most procatively by scholars such as Patricia Samford ,who have attempted to link what is known about the importation of captive Africans from historical sources to physical evidence encountered at the living sites of the enslaved in particular places during specific periods. This paper develops a model, combining recent efforts to incorporate memory work, notably forgetting, into...

Prophets of the Ancient Southwest (2018)
How do prophecy and new religious movements impact life histories of artifacts and architecture? Ethnographic evidence indicates that prophets realize their visions, in part, by transforming relationships between people and material objects. They shun, embrace, or reorient technologies, artifacts, and architecture. Not surprisingly, in cultures where spiritual forces already animate artifacts and architecture, such reorganizations can produce dramatic changes in material culture. Much of the...

Resistance and Revitalization in the Native American Southeast (2018)
Revitalization movements have been a topic of particular interest to anthropologists concerned with culture contact and colonialism. As a cultural practice that is present in many historical periods, it stands to reason that revitalization was undertaken in the deep past as well. Archaeology has proven useful in exploring the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 from a Native American perspective in the American Southwest, and recently, scholars have begun to look for potential revitalization...
