SUMMARY:Empire\, Personhood\, and Child Sacrifice

DESCRIPTION:Ancient North Africa has long been considered a landscape 
 of stasis\, where cultural trajectories can be traced from the Phoenic
 ian colonization of the 9th century BCE through the Islamic conquest t
 o modernity. The practices surrounding the Phoenician rite of child sa
 crifice in the Maghreb are often highlighted as a prime piece of evide
 nce for this grand narrative. In this talk\, Matthew McCarty will argu
 e that we see marked shifts from the Phoenician rite into the Roman im
 perial period\, and that these extend beyond the level of practice and
  into the conceptual realm.
