La vajilla ibérica en época helenistica
El presente volumen ofrece aproximaciones sobre el tema de la vajilla ibérica en época helenística, principalmente entre los siglos III y I a. C. Especialistas en ámbitos diversos desarrollan sus análisis sobre las manifestaciones múltiples de la gestación y apropiación de las vajillas, así como de sus progresivos usos, es decir su diacronía, en la multiplicidad de los espacios ibéricos. En los textos está presente el concepto mismo de vajilla, ¿Cuáles son los encuentros y desencuentros, las convergencias y divergencias entre nuestra acepción moderna de «vajilla» -conjunto de platos y vasos que configuran un servicio de mesa- y la percepción ibérica? El libro nos abre a un...
La Dama de Elche, un destino singular
La Dama de Elche es la obra más famosa del arte ibérico y una de las más asombrosas. Al igual que el arqueólogo Pierre Paris, muchos estudiosos quedaron impactados ante la «inquietante extrañeza de su belleza» y se cuestionaron sobre ese busto tras su descubrimiento en 1897. La particularidad de este libro es que adopta un enfoque multidisciplinar: arqueológico, histórico y antropológico. Aclara lo que se sabe, y lo que aún se desconoce, sobre la historia de esta escultura, al tiempo que restituye los debates abiertos desde su hallazgo entre los arqueólogos europeos, en especial en Francia. También rastrea los procesos que dieron a esta estatua un valor identitario a escala local, regional y nacional, deteniéndose en sus autores —arqueólogos, artistas, eruditos locales, ideólogos— y aclarando sus motivaciones.
Archer M. Huntington
At the turn of the twentieth century, New York City philanthropist, arts patron, and scholar Archer M. Huntington became the foremost collector and face of Spanish art in the United States with the founding of the Hispanic Society of America. This organization, which served as a bridge between artists in Spain and wealthy patrons in the States, was the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship and passion for Spanish culture for Huntington, one he would grapple with throughout his public and intellectual life. In Archer M. Huntington: Founder of the Hispanic Society of America, Patricia Fernández Lorenzo offers, for the first time in English, a complete biography of Huntington, tracing his enthusiasm for Spain and the arts from his childhood, to his marriage to sculptor Anna Hyatt and his crisis of conscience in the wake of the violence of the Spanish Civil War. Drawing heavily from Archer’s correspondence and from Anna Hyatt Huntington’s papers, housed at Syracuse University, Fernández Lorenzo offers a full, deeply human portrait of one of the great patrons of Spanish art, giving a comprehensive look at Huntington’s role in defining Hispanicism in the United States.
Cultural Identity and Archaeology
Cultural identity is a key area of debate in contemporary Europe. Despite widespread use of the past in the construction of ethnic, national and European identity, theories of cultural identity have been neglected in archaeology. Focusing on the interrelationships between concepts of cultural identity today and the interpretation of past cultural groups, Cultural Identity and Archaeology offers proactive archaeological perspectives in the debate surrounding European identities. This fascinating and thought-provoking book covers three key areas. It considers how material remains are used in the interpretation of cultural identities, for example ‘pan-Celtic culture’ and ‘Bronze Age Europe’. Finally, it looks at archaeological evidence for the construction of cultural identities in the European past. The authors are critical of monolithic constructions of Europe, and also of the ethnic and national groups within it. in place of such exclusive cultural, political and territorial entities the book argues for a consideration of the diverse, hybrid and multiple nature of European cultural identities.

The Greeks in Iberia and their Mediterranean Context
This volume explores the effects of Greek presence in the Iberian Peninsula, and how this Iberian Greek experience evolved in resonance with its neighbouring region, the Mediterranean West. Contributions cover the Phocaean settlement at Emporion and its relationship with the indigenous hinterland, the government of the Greek communities, Greek settlement and trade at Málaga, the Greek settlement of Santa Pola, Greek trade in Southern France and Eastern Spain, the implications of imported Attic pottery in the fifth and fourth centuries BC and the conception of Iberia in the eyes of the Greeks. The Iberian Peninsula invites discussion of key notions of ethnic identity, the use of code-switchi...
Athenian Vase Construction
Based on her study of Greek pottery sherds and vases and on her profound hands-on knowledge of pottery construction techniques, including experiments with the potting of Attic shapes, Toby Schreiber describes how ancient Greek potters constructed their vases. Drawn in large part from vases and fragments in the collection of the Getty Museum, the many photographs that accompany the text show how much even seemingly insignificant sherds may reveal about technique when studied by someone knowledgeable about potting. The drawings - all done by the author - demonstrate step by step with admirable clarity how the potter executed his craft. Written by a master potter, this is a book both for those who know little or nothing about potting techniques and for those who already have an understanding of these matters.
Iconotropy and Cult Images from the Ancient to Modern World
The book examines the process of symbolic and material alteration of religious images in antiquity, the middle ages and the modern period. The process by which the form and meaning of images are modified and adapted for a new context is defined by a large number of spiritual, religious, artistic, geographical or historical circumstances. This book provides a defined theoretical framework for these symbolic and material alterations based on the concept of iconotropy; that is, the way in which images change and/or alter their meaning. Iconotropy is a key concept in religious history, particularly for periods in which religious changes, often turbulent, took place. In addition, the iconotropic process of appropriating cult images brought with it changes in the materiality of those images. Numerous accounts from antiquity, the middle ages and the modern period detail how cult images were involved in such processes of misinterpretation, both symbolically and materially. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture and religious history.
Transcurrir y recorrer
Para el agricultor los girasoles son como Pléyades que se extienden a sus pies, en la tierra, desempeñando un papel calendarial paralelo al de aquellas estrellas pues le indican las horas girando al compás del sol, es decir describiendo un movimiento en el espacio que define y señala simultáneamente el tiempo. Para nosotros el tiempo "transcurre" y el espacio se "recorre" pero en el mundo clásico el tiempo y el espacio son creaciones culturales que forman un binomio indisociable. Nuestro Primer Seminario Hispano-Italiano de Historia de las Religiones no consistió en el análisis de un Tiempo y de un Espacio abstractos sino en el de una serie de "casos" en los que se pudiesen individuar, a través de los mecanismo propios de las religiones del mundo clásico, la posibilidad y los medios de que disponían los hombres para controlar, apropiarse y ordenar el espacio y el tiempo.
