Tradiciones Plásticas Y Ontologías: Problemas En Torno Al Estudio De La Iconografía Del Período Medio Del No. Argentino, María Alba Bovisio

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

En este trabajo se analizan piezas producidas entre los siglos VII-XI, en el valle de Hualfín (Catamarca, Argentina) con fines cúlticos y ceremoniales, que presentan una iconografía de notable complejidad. Al respecto se propone indagar: el posible significado de las imágenes metafóricas y metonímicas que articulan humanos, felinos, saurios y reptiles, en relación al poder sagrado (lo waka) y, el rol que juega cada “tradición plástica” (escultores, grabadores, pintores) en la materialización, a través de los objetos e imágenes, del orden ontológico y cosmológico vigente en las comunidades del noroeste argentino en época prehispánica.

In this paper are analyzed pieces, …

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En) This paper deals with a New Kingdom limestone door lintel from Medinet Habu, which is currently housed in the Cairo Museum. It bears three royal names of three kings of the New Kingdom; Amenophis I, Thutmosis IV and Ramsses II, who were worshiped as local deities at Deir El-Medina because of their roles in establishing and developing the Valley of the Kings and the society of artists and workers at Deir El-Medina. There is no owner’s name on this door lintel, but from the royal names we can assume that it was made after the reign of Ramses II. …

Imaging The Great Irish Famine: Representing Dispossession In Visual Culture, Preface & Introduction, Niamh Ann Kelly

Books/Book Chapters

‘Niamh Ann Kelly's lavishly illustrated book throws new light on the visual culture commemorative of hunger, famine and dispossession in mid-nineteenth-century Ireland. Located within the discipline of International Memorial Studies, the text and images both challenge and extend our understanding of Famine history. Examining the visual culture since the time of the Famine until the present, Kelly asks, how do we view, experience and represent the past in the present? To what extent does the viewer insert themselves in this complex process? Is there such a thing as ethical spectatorship? Kelly’s sophisticated yet sympathetic study of the “grievous history” …

What Is A Museum? Difference All The Way Down, Fiona Candlin, Jamie Larkin

Art Faculty Articles and Research

The Mapping Museums research team recently compiled a dataset of UK museums. In doing so, we had to decide what counted as a museum. In this paper, we outline our initial approaches for establishing the criteria for selection: using definitions; key characteristics; and self-identification; and describe why they proved inadequate with respect to the heterogeneity of museum practice. We then explain how assemblage theory helped us conceptualise the complex realities of the museum sector and to address the problem of selection, which in turn led to our developing a non-essentialising model of museums and a new account of the UK …

The Fabric Of Gifts: Culture And Politics Of Giving And Exchange In Archaic Greece, Beate Wagner-Hasel

Zea E-Books Collection

When the Greek leader Agamemnon took for himself the woman awarded to Achilles as his spoils of battle, the warrior’s resulting anger and outrage nearly cost his side the war. Beyond the woman herself was what she symbolised — a matter of esteem rather than material value. In Archaic Greece the practices of gift giving existed alongside an economy of market relations. The value of gifts and the meanings of exchange in ancient societies are fundamental to the debates of 19th-century economists, to Marcel Mauss’s famous Essai sur le don (1923-4), and to the definition of experiential value by modern …

Blood On The Floor: Public Memory, Myth, And Material Culture In American Historic House Museums, Alyssa B. Caltabiano

Theses and Dissertations

This research examines the historic narratives of the Hancock House Historic Site, The Jennie Wade House Museum, and the Shriver House Museum, analyzing the historical accuracy of each. Each site has used historic human bloodstains and other elements of material culture, authentic and fabricated, to facilitate and support their historic narratives. The traditional Hancock House narrative, as well as the current Jennie Wade House narrative, are each sensationalized and riddled with myth and legend. The Shriver House represents a well-researched and interpreted narrative, that tastefully uses historic human bloodstains as an element of their interpretation. The evolution of each site …

Los Tocapus De Llullaillaco, Beatriz Carbonell

PreColumbian Textile Conference VIII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VIII (2019)

En el hallazgo de Llullaillaco los motivos de tocapu y cumbi se reiteran en importantes textiles que visten a los niños ofrendados y en otros en forma de miniatura vistiendo a las estatuillas que conforman el ajuar. Tanto las miniaturas antropomorfas de metal (oro y plata) como las de mullu (spondylus) están vestidas con uncu (túnica), yacolla (manto) y llautu (o vincha) y llevan una bolsa o chuspa con los mismos diseños que las prendas que visten los niños. Nuestra comprensión del significado de tocapu se basa en cómo ha sido descrito por los cronistas, asociado a veces íntimamente con …

La Momia De Marburg: Su Recontextualización A Través Del Ajuar Y Ofrenda Textil, Isabel Martínez Armijo, Anna-Maria Begerock, Mercedes González

PreColumbian Textile Conference VIII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VIII (2019)

El análisis textil es un aporte fundamental para la recontextualización de individuos momificados y dentro de este contexto un caso interesante es el de la momia exhibida en el Museo del Instituto de Anatomía de la Universidad de Philipps, Marburg, Alemania. Este individuo, de sexo masculino, confirmado por la tomografía computarizada realizada en el año 2018, y acompañado de un ajuar textil y diversas ofrendas, se encuentra en relativas buenas condiciones de conservación y, de acuerdo a la escasa información disponible, habría ingresado a dicha institución alrededor de 1892-1893 procedente de la ciudad de Arica. En este trabajo se presentan …

Las Relaciones Interculturales Vistas A Través De Los Textiles Del Cerro La Horca, Durante El Periodo Intermedio Tardío Y Horizonte Tardío, Valle Del Fortaleza – Perú, Arabel Fernández L., Luis Valle A.

PreColumbian Textile Conference VIII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VIII (2019)

A raíz de la ejecución del Proyecto de Rescate Arqueológico Parcial en Cerro la Horca, fue posible el registro de diversas evidencias materiales las cuales han puesto de manifiesto nuevas interpretaciones sobre la ocupación del sitio. La recuperación de material textil y su respectivo análisis ha permitido identificar y definir diversos estilos textiles, entre los que podemos citar: Lambayeque, Huarmey, Chancay, Serrano, Chimú e Inca los mismos que revelan la compleja y variada interacción socio-cultural de los diversos grupos étnicos que convivieron en esta parte baja del valle del Fortaleza, durante el Periodo Intermedio Tardío y Horizonte Tardío.

Two-Headed Serpents And Rayed Heads: Precedents And Reinterpretations In Paracas Necropolis Imagery, Ann H. Peters

PreColumbian Textile Conference VIII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VIII (2019)

The Necropolis of Wari Kayan and other tombs of the Paracas Necropolis mortuary tradition present an astonishing diversity of textile styles, and an even greater diversity of imagery. More than 100 different motifs can be distinguished and tracked among the documented mortuary contexts. While is it not likely that our sample of 45 mummy bundles includes all important variants of any particular motif, in many cases it is possible to propose a sequence of reinterpretations of a key icon. By documenting the known assemblage of images and artifacts we can perceive what icons and styles are predominant, recurrent or unusual. …

Ancient Peruvian Textiles In The Vatican Museums And Their Link To The Musée Du Trocadéro Collections, Jean-François Genotte

PreColumbian Textile Conference VIII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VIII (2019)

The Vatican Museums keep a small collection of about sixty textile fragments mostly Lambayeque, Chimu and Chancay dating back to Late Intermediate Period. Unfortunately, the archaeological provenance of these items is not known. This paper offers a first overview of the history of the collection, describing its contents and, in more details, its most interesting fabrics. We will then suggest that some fragments of the Vatican collection might have been part of textiles once kept in the Musée du Trocadéro, and nowadays preserved in the Quai Branly Museum in Paris.
