GermanAbstract
The Eucharist and cannibalism: the cultural situatedness of these two concepts seems contrary, which made the analogies between these two concepts all the more disturbing in the sixteenth century. This volume asks whether the "wild cannibal" of America was not just a metaphor-become-meat for the "cultural cannibalism" of colonialism itself but also a manifestation of other discourses of ingestion and devouring circulating in early modern Europe.
