%X based on the iconographic evidences of predation and their narrative equivalents, present in different aspects of the mochica culture, this essay seeks to establish (i) a methodology for approaching the cannibal sacrifice taking into account different forms of iconic £¿writing£¿; and (ii) establish a socio-cosmic explanation to sacrificial politics. by articulating these scriptural and political aspects, the paper will provide a new perspective to the rich discussion on the relationship between cannibalism and power that has been proposed by archaeologists, anthropologists and studies on the semiotic of prehispanic cultures.
