• W2602802912 abstract "Religion on the rocks: Hohokam rock art, ritual practice, and social transformation, by AARON M. WRIGHT. 2014. The University of Utah Press, Salt Lake City, 306 pages, monochrome illustrations, bibliography, hardcover, US$65.00, ISBN 978-1-60781-364-4.Rock art research has, over time, been beset by issues of acceptance by the other disciplines of past cultures, the issue of chronology being a primary concern. Religion on the rocks is an impressive and timely piece of work, concerned mainly with the reasons for rock art production by the American Southwestern Hohokam culture. It applies a broad, multi-disciplinary treatment to the petroglyphs, and thereby also succeeds in revealing much about Hohokam culture and society generally, particularly with regard to its cult practices. One of the success factors of the book is its consideration of a rock art corpus within a well defined, relatively limited area of the South Mountains in Arizona. The other factors working in Wright's favour are that the Hohokam producers of the petroglyphs are well researched, and that these people left behind a material culture rich in imagery, including decorated pottery, enabling the rock art to be situated within a broader image making tradition. He quite rightly exploits this rich material cultural tradition and previous Hohokam scholarship, while subjecting the corpus to Alison Wylie's approach of 'cabling', tying the evidence of the rock art together with other archaeological and ethnographic threads. Indeed, despite the issues faced by rock art researchers vis-a-vis their archaeological and anthropological counterparts (as described by Wright himself in Chapter 1), he seems to be able to navigate seamlessly between the disciplines and writes on their respective contributions in a most harmonious manner. The result is a work unhampered by the divisions and is a testament to what can be done with an open mind and recognition of the strengths of each discipline, combined with good, solid research.In Chapter 1 ('Introduction') Wright opens the topic with an overview of the history of Americanist and world rock art research, tracing it from colonial through to functionalist, structuralist and processual approaches, with some coverage on shamanism and neuropsychology, as well as landscape phenomenology. While these phases might be familiar to both the anthropologist and archaeologists, Wright is careful to point out the divergence which took place between rock art and the other disciplines, most critically during the post-processual phase. He then brings us back to the matter at hand of the Hohokam, and sets the stage for the rest of the book - notably his contention that the petroglyphs were associated with ritual practice and relationships of power.In Chapter 2 ('Ritual practice, religious knowledge and social reproduction') Wright provides early foundation stones for his later arguments. Namely, he covers the roles of structure, agency and power in ritual and religion. Ritual is thus 'religion in motion', conducted by individuals who are empowered by the possession of restricted religious knowledge. Other useful foundations are presented as we are introduced to methods for identifying rituals' defining features and how these might be present in the archaeological record.An overview is provided of the main historical phases of the region in Chapter 3 ('Ritual, religion and society among the Hohokam'). An archaic phase is discussed, followed by the pioneer period which marks the arrival of the Hohokam and its distinctive material culture, social structure and monumental style, bearing some links to Meso-American traits. An important transitional point follows, which Wright draws upon later for the rock art - the colonial and sedentary periods, which are characterised by greater social stratification and the emergent prevalence of platform mounds over ball-courts for cult rituals. Analysis of Hohokam cult practice includes a review of various models postulated by previous scholars, including the Mesoamerican cosmological metastrucure (MCM), Hohokam revitilisation movement (HRM) and flower world models. …" @default.
