Download or read book La pintura mural prehispánica en México written by Beatriz de la Fuente and published by UNAM. This book was released on 1995 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Seminario de Pintura Mural Prehispanica adscrito al Instituto de Investigaciones Esteticas de la UNAM, ha terminado sus trabajos en torno a Bonampak, uno de los sitios mesoamericanos mas ricos en pintura mural y tesoro artistico ampliamente valorado a nivel mundial. En esta publicacion, que presentamos con gran satisfaccion, estan a la vista los resultados de un singular esfuerzo de documentacion fotografica y dibujistica. Como bien lo explica Beatriz de la Fuente, directora del proyecto, podremos apreciar en el primer tomo que constituye el catalogo, documentacion fotografica inedita, sobre todo, acercamientos a conjuntos y detalles, asíicomo vistas de las altas bovedas de Bonampak. En el segundo, se integran los diversos estudios abocados a la interpretacion de tan singular conjunto mural. Aqui, los lectores y estudiosos podran observar la confluencia de distintas mentalidades y metodologias de analisis. Arqueologos, arquitectos, historiadores del arte, restauradores, astronomos, astrofisicos y biologos, exponen diversos temas y problemas que emergen de los estudios a fondo emprendidos sobre Bonampak. Ello propicia, por ejemplo, que surjan estudios puntuales sobre los pigmentos y las vestimentas. Por otro lado, el significado de los astros es analizado en tanto registro cientifico, pero tambien desde la vision interesada en descifrar los signos de una compleja simbologia ligada a los conceptos de la vida y la muerte. Son significativos los avances en el campo de la epigrafia registrados en varias investigaciones; la interpretacion de las inscripciones jeroglificas es un camino fructifero para conocer en forma precisa la organizacion social que llevo a la concepcion visual de Bonampak. -- OCLC.

Download or read book Sculpture and Social Dynamics in Preclassic Mesoamerica written by Julia Guernsey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the functions of sculpture during the Preclassic period in Mesoamerica and its significance in statements of social identity. Julia Guernsey situates the origins and evolution of monumental stone sculpture within a broader social and political context and demonstrates the role that such sculpture played in creating and institutionalizing social hierarchies. This book focuses specifically on an enigmatic type of public, monumental sculpture known as the 'potbelly' that traces its antecedents to earlier, small domestic ritual objects and ceramic figurines. The cessation of domestic rituals involving ceramic figurines along the Pacific slope coincided not only with the creation of the first monumental potbelly sculptures, but with the rise of the first state-level societies in Mesoamerica by the advent of the Late Preclassic period. The potbellies became central to the physical representation of new forms of social identity and expressions of political authority during this time of dramatic change.

Download or read book The Covarrubias Circle written by Peter Mears and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York in the 1920s and 1930s was a modernist mecca that drew artists, writers, and other creators of culture from around the globe. Two such expatriates were Mexican artist and Renaissance man Miguel Covarrubias and Hungarian photographer Nickolas Muray. Their lifelong friendship gave Muray an entrée into Covarrubias's circle of fellow Mexican artists—Frida Kahlo, Rufino Tamayo, Juan Soriano, Fernando Castillo, Guillermo Meza, Roberto Montenegro, and Rafael Navarro—whose works Muray collected. This outstanding body of Mexican modernist art, now owned by the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (HRC) at the University of Texas at Austin, forms the subject of this beautifully illustrated volume. Produced in conjunction with the Ransom Center's exhibition "Miguel Covarrubias: A Certain Clairvoyance," this volume contains color plates of virtually all the items in Nickolas Muray's collection of twentieth-century Mexican art. The majority of the works are by Covarrubias, while the excellent works by the other artists reflect the range of aesthetic shifts and modernist influences of the period in Mexico. Accompanying the plates are five original essays that establish Covarrubias's importance as a modernist impresario as influential in his sphere as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Jean Cocteau were in theirs. Likewise, the essays reestablish the significance of Nickolas Muray, whose success as a master of color photography, portraiture, advertising imagery, and commercial illustration has made him difficult to place within the history of photography as a fine art. As a whole, this publication of the Nickolas Muray Collection vividly illustrates the transgression of generic boundaries and the cross-fertilization among artists working in different media, from painting and photography to dance and ethnography, that gave modernism its freshness and energy. It also demonstrates that American modernism was thoroughly infused with a fervor for all things Mexican, of which Covarrubias was a principal proponent, and that Mexican modernists, no less than their American and European counterparts, answered Pound's call to "make it new."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Esta nueva publicación correspondea una larga tradición ininterrumpida de ediciones que el Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino inició con el Banco O'Higgins, y que su sucesor legal, Banco Santiago, ha continuado, innovando su contenido sustancial y formal. Es destacable esta larga y prolífica colaboración entre dicha empresa bancaria y el Museo: a lo largo de 17 años, ella ha producido igual número de publicaciones, las que conforman un cuerpo imprescindible para el estudio y la difusión del arte precolombino americano. En esta ocasión de la pluma del notable arqueólogo peruano Luis Guillermo Lumbreras, presentamos un artículo sobre el contexto social en que está inserto el arte precolombino americano, ilustrado con objetos de nuestra colecciones. Se incluye también una reseña sobre los ideales que dieron origen al Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, su historia y perspectivas futuras."--Page 3.

Download or read book Social Skins of the Head written by Vera Tiesler and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meanings of ritualized head treatments among ancient Mesoamerican and Andean peoples is the subject of this book, the first overarching coverage of an important subject. Heads are sources of power that protect, impersonate, emulate sacred forces, distinguish, or acquire identity within the native world. The essays in this book examine these themes in a wide array of indigenous head treatments, including facial cosmetics and hair arrangements, permanent cranial vault and facial modifications, dental decorations, posthumous head processing, and head hunting. They offer new insights into native understandings of beauty, power, age, gender, and ethnicity. The contributors are experts from such diverse fields as skeletal biology, archaeology, aesthetics, forensics, taphonomy, and art history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mexico’s 1910 Revolution engendered a vast range of responses: from novels and autobiographies to political cartoons, feature films and placards. In the light of the centennial commemorations, contributors to this original collection evaluate the cultural legacy of this landmark event in a series of engaging essays. Imagining the Mexican Revolution is a rich resource for those interested in ways in which literary and visual culture mediate our understandings of this complex historical phenomenon.” – Professor Andrea Noble, Durham University “This collection of essays by leading and emerging Mexicanists is a distinct and welcome contribution that enhances public and academic understanding of Mexico’s rich revolutionary heritage. It makes available some of the most cutting-edge thinking from the field of Mexican cultural studies on the literary and visual representations produced over a period of one hundred years in Mexico and in other countries.” – Dr Chris Harris, University of Liverpool “In fascinating detail, the essays of this landmark book examine the complexity of the post-revolutionary years in Mexico. But the findings also have applications for other cultures of the world where ideologies of fascism and socialism have competed and media manipulation has existed. Among the volume’s many excellent features are its illustrations.” – Professor Emeritus Nancy Vogeley, University of San Francisco

Download or read book Social Perspectives on Ancient Lives from Paleoethnobotanical Data written by Matthew P. Sayre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contributes to the emerging topic of social paleoethnobotany with a series of papers exploring dynamic aspects of past social life, particularly the day-to-day practices and politics of procuring, preparing, and consuming plants. The contributors to this volume illustrate how one can bridge differences between the natural and social sciences through the more socially-focused interpretations of botanical datasets. The chapters in this volume draw on a diversity of plant-derived datasets, macrobotanical, microbotanical, and molecular, which contribute to general paleoethnobotanical practice today. They also carefully consider the contexts in which the plant remains were recovered. These studies illustrate that the richest interpretations come from projects that are able to consider the widest range of data types, particularly as they aim to move beyond simple descriptions of food items and environmental settings. The authors in this volume address several themes including: the collection of wild resources, the domestication of crops and spread of agriculture, the role of plant remains in questions regarding domestic life, ritual, and gender as well as the broader implications of a socially-engaged paleoethnobotany. These studies point a path forward for the constantly evolving field of paleoethnobotany, one that is methodologically rigorous and theoretically engaged. Together, these papers shed light on ways in which the specialized analysis of plant remains can contribute to theory building and advancing archaeological understanding of past lifeways.

This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra póstuma, Carlos Monsiváis, con su estilo y erudición únicos, recorre un siglo de la vida cultural de México, si bien, como él mismo confiesa, ésta es una tarea inacabable a la que además se suma la brevedad de la obra, que le obliga a cerrar su crónica en la década de 1980, dejando fuera los movimientos y creadores de los dos últimos decenios del siglo XX. Su recorrido parte de la época del modernismo y pasa por todas las manifestaciones culturales que se desarrollan a lo largo de las siguientes décadas, como la narrativa de la Revolución, el muralismo, la cultura en los años veinte, los Contemporáneos, la poesía de la generación del 50 hasta llegar al año de la ruptura que representa 1968 y las manifestaciones culturales que de él se desprenden.
