Visualising Glocalization
Glocalization can be defined as globalization refracted through the local. This book applies the glocalization framework to an archaeological dataset composed of a selection of partially and fully excavated villas, their associated architectural spaces, and pavements from Hispania Baetica between the 2nd and the 4th centuries AD.
A Globalised Visual Culture?
Late Antique artefacts, and the images they carry, attest to a highly connected visual culture from ca. 300 to 800 C.E. On the one hand, the same decorative motifs and iconographies are found across various genres of visual and material culture, irrespective of social and economic differences among their users – for instance in mosaics, architectural decoration, and luxury arts (silver plate, textiles, ivories), as well as in everyday objects such as tableware, lamps, and pilgrim vessels. On the other hand, they are also spread in geographically distant regions, mingled with local elements, far beyond the traditional borders of the classical world. At the same time, foreign motifs, especia...
Urban Transformations in the Late Antique West: Materials, Agents, and Models
This volume is the fruit of a highly productive international research gathering academic and professional (field- and museum) colleagues to discuss new results and approaches, recent finds and alternative theoretical assessments of the period of transition and transformation of classical towns in Late Antiquity. Experts from an array of modern countries attended and presented to help compare and contrast critically archaeologies of diverse regions and to debate the qualities of the archaeology and the current modes of study. While a number of papers inevitably focused on evidence available for both Spain and Portugal, we were delighted to have a spread of contributions that extended the picture to other territories in the Late Roman West and Mediterranean. The emphasis was very much on the images presented by archaeology (rescue and research works, recent and past), but textual data were also brought into play by various contributors.
Diálogo sobre el gusto y otros escritos de estética
Esta edición recoge las tres obras que Ramsay dedicó a temas de estética, traducidas por primera vez al castellano: 'Ensayo sobre el ridículo' (1753), 'Diálogo sobre el gusto' (1754) e 'Investigación sobre la villa sabina de Horacio' (inédita en vida del autor). Su lectura conjunta proporciona una síntesis de los principales temas de estética y teoría del arte europeos de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Por un lado, Ramsay fue el primero en problematizar filosóficamente el gusto, cuya desconfianza ante este le condujo a priorizar la mimesis aristotélica, generando toda la reflexión posterior sobre la norma del gusto; por otro, su conocimiento de los restos y de las teorías históricas de la Antigüedad grecorromana hizo que denigrara a los romanos ante los griegos, alineándose con Winckelmann y dando lugar a la encendida crítica de Piranesi.

The Accidental Archives of the Royal Chicano Air Force
How do you write a history of a group that has been written out of history? In The Accidental Archives of the Royal Chicano Air Force, world-famous archaeologist La Stef and the clandestine Con Sapos Archaeological Collective track down the “facts” about the elusive RCAF, the Rebel Chicano Art Front that, through an understandable mix-up with the Royal Canadian Air Force, became the Royal Chicano Air Force. La Stef and her fellow archaeologists document the plight and locura que cura of the RCAF, a group renowned for its fleet of adobe airplanes, ongoing subversive performance stance, and key role as poster makers for the United Farm Workers Union during the height of the Chicano civil r...
Bild und Text auf römischen Mosaiken
In der intensiven Nutzung der Kombination von Bild und Text liegt eine zentrale Innovation römischer Mosaiken des 3. bis 5. Jhs. Dabei werden die beiden Teilmedien genutzt, um Themen des Alltags, aber auch außergewöhnliche Ereignisse und kulturelle Bestände in den sozialen Räumen der Auftraggeber neu zu inszenieren. Die vorliegende Monographie legt erstmals eine umfassende Analyse der komplexen medialen Konfiguration dieser Kunstwerke vor. In Absetzung von bisherigen Ansätzen, die in den textuellen Anteilen lediglich das Potenzial einer Erklärung der Bilder sahen, wird ein Zugriff gewählt, der beide Medien als potenziell gleichberechtigt betrachtet. Dieser Zugriff erlaubt es, den Mosaiken von Seiten der Auftraggeber eingegebene Diskursangebote zu evaluieren, die sich in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen Engführung und Erweiterung einer sozialen Kommunikation bewegen. Dabei werden die neuen Einsichten für eine Bearbeitung des Materials fruchtbar gemacht, welche die kommunikativen Strategien der Mosaiken innerhalb ihres räumlichen Kontexts, aber auch vor ihrem sozialen und kulturellen Hintergrund offenlegt.
Chicano and Chicana Art
This anthology provides an overview of the history and theory of Chicano/a art from the 1960s to the present, emphasizing the debates and vocabularies that have played key roles in its conceptualization. In Chicano and Chicana Art—which includes many of Chicano/a art's landmark and foundational texts and manifestos—artists, curators, and cultural critics trace the development of Chicano/a art from its early role in the Chicano civil rights movement to its mainstream acceptance in American art institutions. Throughout this teaching-oriented volume they address a number of themes, including the politics of border life, public art practices such as posters and murals, and feminist and queer...
