La Fascinante Revelación De Las Formas Esquemáticas Precolombinas, Luz Helena Ballestas Rincón

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

No hay duda de que las formas son un vehículo de comunicación. En el mundo precolombino, ciertas formas fueron codificadas hasta el punto de representar en signos aspectos relevantes para la sociedad. Algunas son de tipo esquemático, por lo cual muchas veces se han determinado como “ornamentales” sin embargo, en la cultura material, formas básicas del diseño como son el círculo, la cruz y la espiral, tuvieron simbolismo implícito que quizás se escapa a nuestra percepción pero que podrían provenir de los atributos de seres de la naturaleza o de los objetos. Mediante el reconocimiento y el análisis de la …

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.

Figurillas Masculinas Con Atributos De Rango, Del Centro De México, Durante El Formativo, Patricia Ochoa Castillo

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

Las figurillas del periodo Formativo (2300 a.C.-100 d.C.), de la Cuenca de México, modeladas en barro, antropomorfas y sólidas, se distinguen por ser representaciones realistas, y al parecer, algunas de ellas son versiones a escala que muestran personajes, es decir, son pequeñas esculturas inspiradas en algunos miembros de la comunidad que se destacan por sus atributos o parafernalia. Estos atributos son indicadores de un claro reconocimiento de diferenciación social, asociados con personajes que desempeñaban roles específicos dentro de la sociedad y que, al parecer, son recreaciones de jugadores de pelota.

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