Método Aanderud: Una propuesta interdisciplinaria de análisis iconográfico para monumentos prehispánicos y su aplicación sobre los paneles del Gran Juego de Pelota de Chichén Itzá

Abstract

This methodological approach purports to expand the views from which the artistic image captured in prehispanic monuments is analyzed. This is conducted through a 5-phase method developed from the knowledge of illustration, photography, archaeology and theories of art. The conjunction of all this knowledge aims at getting a whole and interdisciplinary view through which the pre-Columbian art can be analyzed, thus moving from a theorical state to the moment of praxis. This methodological proposal is put to the test on the panels of the Great Ball Court of Chichen Itza, departing from its material nature to its symbolic level to exalt the need to widen the interpretative views through interdisciplinary interactions.
