Representaciones Del Ave E Instrumentos Rituales Tiwanakotas. Medios Para Llegar A Lo Divino, Elisa Cont 2020 Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona

Representaciones Del Ave E Instrumentos Rituales Tiwanakotas. Medios Para Llegar A Lo Divino, Elisa Cont

Congreso internacional sobre iconografía precolombina, Barcelona, 2019. Actas.

La representación del ave en la iconografía Tiwanaku es parte de un conjunto de símbolos sagrados, emblemas de poder, que condensan unos conocimientos acerca de la cosmovisión y estarían vinculados a prácticas chamánicas. La imagen del ave, representada por elementos simplificados como las alas, el vuelo o los ojos, simbolizaría la capacidad de atravesar las fronteras entre los mundos, de ver lo sagrado, y expresaría la intermediación entre hombres y divinidades. Esta investigación se propone analizar aquellos elementos iconográficos Tiwanaku que representan el ave y que se encuentran grabados sobre algunos objetos rituales de diferente material. Las imágenes plasmadas …

Oficiantes Mochica Medio En San José De Moro: El Sacerdote Lechuza Y La Sacerdotisa, Karim Ruiz Rosell

Congreso internacional sobre iconografía precolombina, Barcelona, 2019. Actas.

Las tumbas Mochica Medio de El Sacerdote Lechuza y La Sacerdotisa de San José de Moro (SJM) esbozan una identidad individual particular y relacionan a los individuos enterrados con una élite ceremonial en la que habrían desempeñado funciones de oficiantes adscritas a los rituales en los que dichos personajes aparecen en la iconografía. Por un lado, la tumba del Sacerdote Lechuza, llena de alusiones iconográficas a la lechuza (metales y cerámica) que remiten a la figura del Sacerdote Lechuza; por otro lado, la tumba de la Sacerdotisa, con varios elementos del “Tema de la Presentación” tallados en concha …

Botanical Tour Of Christian Art At The National Museum Of Ancient Art (Lisbon, Portugal), Luis Mendonça De Carvalho, Francisca Maria Fernandes, Maria De Fátima Nunes, Miriam Lopes, Maria Vlachou, Paula Nozes, Ana Maria Costa

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Christian works of art, from the middle XIV to early XIX centuries, were studied in order to contribute to a new perspective of the cultural history of plants in Portuguese and European art displayed at the National Museum of Ancient Art (NMAA). The symbolic use of trees, leaves, flowers and fruits in painting, sculpture and tapestry were compared with theological data from the Bible, Apocrypha Gospels and codes of symbols from the XVII to XX centuries, as well as pictorial data from academic literature and photographic databases. We found 40 botanical taxa used as symbols that aimed to reinforce moral …

Relocated Pilgrimage: An Artistic Via Dolorosa In The Heart Of Amsterdam, Lieke Wijnia

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

The route of the iconic Stations of the Cross is not only connected to physical locations of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, but is also manifest in Catholic churches, processions, and passion plays, as well as heritage sites and shrines around the world. A twenty-first-century relocation of this pilgrimage is the international project Art Stations of the Cross. With the aim to offer artistic reflections on social injustice, each station is represented by an artwork especially located in a heritage site. Presented as a journey of contemplation, the 2019 edition took place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In this article, participant …


The Harlem Book Of The Dead: Pan-Africanism, Funerary Portraiture, And The African-American Way Of Death, Jessica D. Feldman 2020 CUNY Hunter College

The Harlem Book Of The Dead: Pan-Africanism, Funerary Portraiture, And The African-American Way Of Death, Jessica D. Feldman

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines the text and images contained in James Van Der Zee and Camille Billops’s seminal photobook The Harlem Book of the Dead (1978). The title, frontispiece, and introduction, combined with Van Der Zee’s funerary portraits, illuminate the connection between African-American rituals of death and Pan-Africanism. While these two concepts appear to be distinct, they are both predicated upon and intrinsically linked to key values in African American culture, including liberation and the meaning of community. Each chapter focuses on a different contextual framework for situating The Harlem Book of the Dead within the historical and political moment …

America’S Finest Housing Crisis: Racialized Housing & Suburban Development, Vicenta Martinez Govea 2020 University of San Diego

America’S Finest Housing Crisis: Racialized Housing & Suburban Development, Vicenta Martinez Govea

McNair Summer Research Program

U.S. Government operations between 1940-1950 brought unprecedented direct and indirect employment opportunities to San Diego, exacerbating an already growing housing shortage. To accommodate the thousands of new defense workers, the government produced the largest defense housing project to date in the small neighborhood of Linda Vista. However, this opportunity and largesse was extended primarily to a select group of white working-class families who had access to defense jobs and, consequently, subsidized housing. Military presence in San Diego during World War II shaped the design of homes and exclusively allocated housing, as both shelter and financial instrument, to white working-class families …
