Piñata Problems: Maas1848, Art Histories, And Rhizomatic Solutions, Constance Cortez, Karen M. Davalos
School of Art & Design Faculty Publications and Presentations
This Dialogues is a curated discussion of Latinx digital humanities emphasizing digital visual culture and the digital visualization of culture by scholars and artists with diverse backgrounds and projects. Envisioned as a foundational text in the growing Latinx visual digital humanities field, this Dialogues is not striving to be comprehensive. Instead, through its discussion, participants define Latinx digital humanities and visual culture broadly, with authors and artists finding common ground through their decolonial practices and community-based methods, as well as sharing concerns about and resistance to inevitable co-option by capitalism as their respective Latinx digital humanities projects work against community …

This report describes the goals and lessons learned during the foundational efforts to create, Rhizomes of Mexican American Art Since 1848, a digital tool in development that will enhance discovery of Mexican American art and related documentation at libraries, archives, and museums nationwide.1 The digital tool takes its name from continuously-growing stems that produce complex, connected lateral structures. This metaphor for rhizomatic roots also references the reciprocal, redistributive, and equitable methods employed to create a cross- institutional network that shares digital files and historical documentation about an underrepresented community. Furthermore, Rhizomes operates as a post-custodial archive that virtually unifies content …
The Second Bible Of Charles The Bald: Patronage And Intellectual Community At St. Amand, Riccardo Pizzinato
The Second Bible Of Charles The Bald: Patronage And Intellectual Community At St. Amand, Riccardo Pizzinato

Among the manuscripts produced for Charles the Bald, King of West Francia (843-77) and Holy Roman Emperor (875-77), the so-called Second Bible (Paris, BnF, MS Lat. 2) holds a special place. Illuminated in the scriptorium of the abbey of St. Amand between 870 and 873, the Bible—unlike all the other manuscripts presented to the king during this period—contains no human figures or royal portraits. It exhibits instead large initials patterned with geometric and zoomorphic designs. In addition, the volume opens with a long poem dedicated to Charles the Bald and written by Hucbald (ca. 840–930), master of the monastery school …
Jesuit Winemaking And Art Production In Northern New Spain, Katherine M. Mcallen
Jesuit Winemaking And Art Production In Northern New Spain, Katherine M. Mcallen
School of Art & Design Faculty Publications and Presentations
This article presents new research on Jesuit visual culture in northern New Spain, situating Santa María de las Parras (founded 1598) as an important site where the Jesuits and secular landowners became involved in the lucrative business of winemaking. Viticulture in Parras helped transform this mission settlement into a thriving center of consumption. The Jesuits fostered alliances with Spanish and Tlaxcalan Indians to serve their religious and temporal interests, as these patrons donated funds to decorate chapels in the Jesuit church of San Ignacio. This financial support allowed the Society to purchase paintings by prominent artists in Mexico City and …
Vision And Christomimesis In The Ruler Portrait Of The Codex Aureus Of St. Emmeram, Riccardo Pizzinato
Vision And Christomimesis In The Ruler Portrait Of The Codex Aureus Of St. Emmeram, Riccardo Pizzinato
School of Art & Design Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Gospel book known to scholars as the Codex Aureus of St. Emmeram (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 14000) is a lavishly decorated manuscript produced in 870 for the Carolingian king and subsequent emperor Charles the Bald (823-877). Although the manuscript has been much admired and its art frequently reproduced, many questions remain concerning the Codex Aureus and its miniatures, both individually and as parts of a program. This article examines the relationship between text and image in the two full-page miniatures, which represent the enthroned Charles the Bald facing an image of the twenty-four elders adoring the Lamb. It reads …

Propaganda models recommend the use of familiar media, such as existing local or national newspapers and magazines, because target audiences are inclined to trust them more than newly established and untried publications. It is assumed that if the media cannot be used or needed to be supplemented with a more directly controlled and plentiful message, then the propagandist could not do any better than to replicate their formats. By reproducing the tested design and mode of information delivery of these trusted conduits, the sponsor of propaganda capitalizes on existing readings habits and this increases the likelihood of attaining his or …
