Autorenporträt
Juliette Testard holds a PhD in archaeology from the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne and is a research engineer at the CNRS in the "Archeologie des Ameriques" laboratory. She studies the figurative representations of the Mesoamerican Highlands during the Epiclassic period (600 to 900 AD) since 2006 to understand the way these societies constructed their ideological and political universe and, in particular, their otherness. She explored the interaction and affiliation with the distant through material and visual culture in her doctoral thesis defended in 2014, for which she received the PhD prize of the Musee du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac (2015), Paris. This book constitutes the translation of an updated version of that university work. She is the author of several articles and book chapters and has organized several scientific events concerning the Epiclassic visual and cultural culture.
