Download or read book Unseen Art written by Claudia Brittenham and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Unseen Art, Claudia Brittenham unravels one of the most puzzling phenomena in Mesoamerican art history: why many of the objects that we view in museums today were once so difficult to see. She examines the importance that ancient Mesoamerican people assigned to the process of making and enlivening the things we now call art, as well as Mesoamerican understandings of sight as an especially godlike and elite power, in order to trace a gradual evolution in the uses of secrecy and concealment, from a communal practice that fostered social memory to a tool of imperial power. Addressing some of the most charismatic of all Mesoamerican sculptures, such as Olmec buried offerings, Maya lintels, and carvings on the undersides of Aztec sculptures, Brittenham shows that the creation of unseen art has important implications both for understanding status in ancient Mesoamerica and for analyzing art in the present. Spanning nearly three thousand years of the Indigenous art of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize, Unseen Art connects the dots between vision, power, and inequality, providing a critical perspective on our own way of looking.

Book Synopsis Conditions of Visibility by : Richard Neer
Download or read book Conditions of Visibility written by Richard Neer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often assume that works of visual art are meant to be seen. Yet that assumption may be a modern prejudice. The ancient world - from China to Greece, Rome to Mexico - provides many examples of statues, paintings, and other images that were not intended to be visible. Instead of being displayed, they were hidden, buried, or otherwise obscured. In this third volume in the Visual Conversations in Art & Archaeology series, leading scholars working at the intersection of archaeology and the history of art address the fundamental question of art's visibility. What conditions must be met, what has to be in place, for a work of art to be seen at all? The answer is both historical and methodological; it concerns ancient societies and modern disciplines, and encompasses material circumstances, perceptual capacities, technologies of visualization, protocols of classification, and a great deal more. The emerging field of archaeological art history is uniquely suited to address such questions. Intrinsically comparative, this approach cuts across traditional ethnic, religious, and chronological categories to confront the academic present with the historical past. The goal is to produce a new art history that is at once cosmopolitan in method and global in scope, and in doing so establish new ways of seeing - new conditions of visibility - for shared objects of study.

Book Synopsis Mesoamerica's Classic Heritage by : David Carrasco
Download or read book Mesoamerica's Classic Heritage written by David Carrasco and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a millennium the great Mesoamerican city of Teotihucan (c150BCE--750CE) has been imagined and reimagined by a host of subsequent cultures including our own. This book engages the subject of the unity and diversity of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica by focusing on the classic heritage of this ancient city. Includes the history of religions, anthropology, archaeology, and art history -- and a wealth of new data, this book examines Teotihuacan's rippling influence across Mesoamerican time and space, including important patterns of continuity and change, and its relationships, both historical and symbolic, with Tenochtitlan, Cholula, and various Maya communities.
Book Synopsis Conceptualization of 'xihuitl' by : Mutsumi Izeki
Download or read book Conceptualization of 'xihuitl' written by Mutsumi Izeki and published by BAR International Series. This book was released on 2008 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is concerned with how the Postclassic Mexica people developed their unique perspective of history and environment in a dynamic cultural context. By focusing on the process of conceptualization of the Nahuatl word 'xihuitl', the author analyzes the way the Mexica expressed their cognition. Xihuitl covers a range of meanings: 'turquoise', 'grass', 'solar year', 'comet', 'preciousness', 'blue-green' and 'fire'. The correlations of the meanings of xihuitl can be explained from a structural point of view. However, structural analysis does not reveal the dynamic experiential processes that produced such correlations in the minds of the Mexica. In order to account for this dynamic aspect of the concept, the author employs a theory drawn from cognitive science. This theory argues that the meanings and representations of a concept are metaphoric extensions that derive from the central sense of the concept. Applying this theory, the author examines the metaphoric extension of each xihuitl representation from the central sense. The author also analyzes the four media of expression-linguistic, iconographic, material and ritual-in which representations of xihuitl occur. The representations of xihuitl in each medium embody a particular aspect of the concept. At the same time, the concept as a whole was affected by the Mexica conceptual system-the way the Mexica saw their world-rooted in the connections they believed existed between themselves and those who established earlier Central Mexican civilizations.
Book Synopsis Les cultures à l'oeuvre by : Michèle Coquet
Download or read book Les cultures à l'oeuvre written by Michèle Coquet and published by Les Editions de la MSH. This book was released on 2005 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hétérogénéité des objets de recherche, pluralité des problématiques, fécondité des croisements disciplinaires, renouveaux théoriques : ce sont ces aspects propres à caractériser l'anthropologie de l'art actuelle qu'illustrent les contributions de ce volume. S'y trouvent notamment analysés les fonctions et significations des expressions artistiques appréhendées dans des contextes culturels divers ; leurs conditions d'émergence et les critères autochtones de leur définition ; les modes de sélection, d'évaluation et d'appropriation des productions non occidentales par les voyageurs, collecteurs, collectionneurs, institutions muséales ou acteurs du marché de l'art. De manière transversale, s'exprime l'idée qu'une œuvre ne se réduit pas à un objet et ne s'épuise ni dans sa matérialité ni dans sa perception strictement sensorielle. Les discours (critiques, de légitimation, d'authentification, d'explicitation, etc.), l'imaginaire, les affects ou encore les modalités de sa consommation la constituent tout autant. Trop souvent, les musées se sont accordés à ériger la production matérielle des cultures locales en marque symbolique de leur identité et à essentialiser ces cultures en reléguant dans les réserves ce qui relevait trop visiblement d'emprunts ou d'influences. En déconstruisant ce grand mythe occidental d'une altérité vierge de tout mélange, l'approche anthropologique de l'art se refuse à penser le rapport à la création en termes d'oppositions implicitement hiérarchisées en valeur (authentique vs faux, rituel vs commercial, ethnographique vs touristique, esthétique vs politique, etc.). Ethnologues, historiens de l'art et sociologues, les auteurs français et anglo-saxons qui se rencontrent à travers cet ouvrage rendent compte de l'amplitude des perspectives de recherche ainsi ouvertes par l'anthropologie de l'art.
