Bassett Jan. 16th, 5:00 - 7:00 pm Walnut Room, IMU Biological evidence of Aztec sacrifice clings to precontact artifacts, and postcontact texts depict their gruesome nature: a man honored as a god becomes a sacrificial victim. Dr. Bassett’s research focuses on how the Aztecs imagined, understood, and manufactured the deities they venerated. In this talk, she will examine the roles of human bodies and human skin in the ritual production of god-bodies. Molly Bassett is an assistant professor of Religious Studies at Georgia State University, and a research affilitate at the Zacatecas Institute for Research and Teaching in Ethnology.
