Paisajes patrimoniales: filosofía, estética y arte

Autor: Mariano Castellanos Arenas

Número de Páginas: 550

El paisaje es una experiencia de contemplación, emoción y reflexión, al mismo tiempo es el resultado del trabajo de hombres y mujeres en el espacio geográfico. Es una consecuencia cultural y su naturaleza se constituye en una revelación en el universo de las formas, al ser concebida, vivida y modelada por las sociedades dentro de un permanente proceso de transformación. Se trata de un dispositivo de convergencia de la percepción, los sentimientos y las representaciones, en el que se construye la historia desde sus orígenes. Asimismo, el patrimonio contenido en los paisajes crea una memoria capaz de llevarnos por nuevas vías del conocimiento, solo se deben de interpretar el lenguaje que está expresado en el territorio y en sus bienes materiales e inmateriales. Ahora bien, en la con figuración estética del paisaje es dilucidar sobre lo sublime de la vida, el pensamiento y la creación artística. En el marco de estos indicadores se encuentra la percepción y la imaginación como una amalgama del goce, pero también de la angustia o el miedo. Comprender lo estético en el paisaje es desentrañar la función del gusto en la historia, que se organiza en el terreno de la...

In August 1576, in the midst of an outbreak of the plague, the Spanish Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and twenty-two indigenous artists locked themselves inside the school of Santa Cruz de Tlaltelolco in Mexico City with a mission: to create nothing less than the first illustrated encyclopedia of the New World. Today this twelve-volume manuscript is preserved in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence and is widely known as the Florentine Codex. A monumental achievement, the Florentine Codex is the single most important artistic and historical document for studying the peoples and cultures of pre-Hispanic and colonial Central Mexico. It reflects both indigenous and Spanish traditions of writing and painting, including parallel columns of text in Spanish and Nahuatl and more than two thousand watercolor illustrations prepared in European and Aztec pictorial styles. This volume reveals the complex meanings inherent in the selection of the pigments used in the manuscript, offering a fascinating look into a previously hidden symbolic language. Drawing on cuttingedge approaches in art history, anthropology, and the material sciences, the book sheds new light on one of...

Farewell to Visual Studies

Farewell to Visual Studies

Autor: James Elkins , Gustav Frank , Sunil Manghani

Número de Páginas: 286

Each of the five volumes in the Stone Art Theory Institutes series brings together a range of scholars who are not always directly familiar with one another’s work. The outcome of each of these convergences is an extensive and “unpredictable conversation” on knotty and provocative issues about art. This fifth and final volume in the series focuses on the identity, nature, and future of visual studies, discussing critical questions about its history, objects, and methods. The contributors question the canon of literature of visual studies and the place of visual studies with relation to theories of vision, visuality, epistemology, politics, and art history, giving voice to a variety of inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives. Rather than dismissing visual studies, as its provocative title might suggest, this volume aims to engage a critical discussion of the state of visual studies today, how it might move forward, and what it might leave behind to evolve in productive ways. The contributors are Emmanuel Alloa, Nell Andrew, Linda Báez Rubí, Martin A. Berger, Hans Dam Christensen, Isabelle Decobecq, Bernhard J. Dotzler, Johanna Drucker, James Elkins, Michele Emmer, Yolaine ...

Maya Calendar Origins

Maya Calendar Origins

Autor: Prudence M. Rice

Número de Páginas: 291

In Maya Political Science: Time, Astronomy, and the Cosmos, Prudence M. Rice proposed a new model of Maya political organization in which geopolitical seats of power rotated according to a 256-year calendar cycle known as the May. This fundamental connection between timekeeping and Maya political organization sparked Rice's interest in the origins of the two major calendars used by the ancient lowland Maya, one 260 days long, and the other having 365 days. In Maya Calendar Origins, she presents a provocative new thesis about the origins and development of the calendrical system. Integrating data from anthropology, archaeology, art history, astronomy, ethnohistory, myth, and linguistics, Rice argues that the Maya calendars developed about a millennium earlier than commonly thought, around 1200 BC, as an outgrowth of observations of the natural phenomena that scheduled the movements of late Archaic hunter-gatherer-collectors throughout what became Mesoamerica. She asserts that an understanding of the cycles of weather and celestial movements became the basis of power for early rulers, who could thereby claim "control" over supernatural cosmic forces. Rice shows how time became...
