Le thème du sacrifice humain ne peut laisser indifférent et continue de susciter bien des interrogations, entre fascination et dégoût. Historiens et anthropologues se divisent sur l’historicité supposée du phénomène. Pour sortir de l’impasse, cet ouvrage se penche sur la manière dont les cultures se représentent le sacrifice humain, le leur ou celui des autres, fût-il réel ou symbolique. Comment une société fait-elle face à ce qui est - ou ce qu’elle croit être - son passé cruel et sanglant ? Quelles sont les valeurs dont le sacrifice humain, et d’autres concepts proches, comme l’anthropophagie, se trouvent chargés en vertu des normes indigènes ? Comment ces perceptions ont-elles persisté dans la longue durée et comment se sont-elles adaptées aux idéologies changeantes ?

How does a society confront what might have been -or what it thought was- its own cruel and bloody past? What are the culturally specific values through which human sacrifice was understood in each group, and how did they differ in the case of other related practices, such as anthropophagy? How have these perceptions changed over time, and how have they adapted to the transformations of…
