The ahuianime were women who accompanied the most distinguished warriors in various cultural and religious situations. As these relations might have had sexual context, the ahuianime were frequently considered prostitutes by the European missionaries. In the described pictures there are three ahuianime, each of them in different age: a young girl, a mature woman and an elderly woman. Each of them is accompanied by various attributes that point to her age, social status and social role. Our main aim is to state what meaning do these attributes have and to what extent are they consistent with the information on ahuianime provided by the written sources.","PeriodicalId":176895,"journal":{"name":"Sztuka Ameryki Łacińskiej","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127946717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past, traditional objects produced in cartonería technique (known in Europe as papier-mâché technique) were related more to various ceremonies held throughout the year: burning of Judas at Easter, piñata breaking at Christmas, ceremonial masks as well as quasi-theatrical dolls called mojigangas. Nowadays, artists are widening the scope of their works, creating so-called alebrijes – fantasy creatures, which are regarded by some researchers as the example of surrealism in folk art. Whereas traditional cartonería objects were made for particular festivals, alebrijes are not related to any of them and are the example of individual forms. The text also discusses different images of Judas and the ritual of burning of him during the Holy Week in Mexico City against the historical background. Judas in Mexico is not only a biblical betrayer of Christ. He serves as an instrument of criticism, has a face of a politician and a commentator. His stylistic appearance has been greatly influenced by social and political events. Diego Rivera made Judas a part of his several paintings and murals. In many places of Mexico, these annual celebrations of folk origin take at the same time a form of happenings or a city event of a performance art type. The paper is based on the research conducted in Mexico in 2008–2009 as well as on reference books.","PeriodicalId":176895,"journal":{"name":"Sztuka Ameryki Łacińskiej","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122505811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of them is terminology. Currently the most widespread term used in connection with native-style adorned churches from the former Peru Viceroyalty, is mestizo style. Other designations are „popular architecture” or „Andes baroque”. This stylization appeared in south of Peru including Arequipa, Ayacucho, the shores of the Titicaca lake down to cities in Bolivia through La Paz to Potosí. Mestizo means a mix of European and Indian cultures. It appeared in the 17th century but it reach the peak of its popularity in the 18th. It has only an ornamental character and no construction importance. The motives which appeared in this style are the following:European-origin motifs (mermaids, eagles, angels); tropical floral and animal related motifs (monkeys, pineapples, papayas); Pre-Columbian motifs (masks, pumes). Unfortunately, the research status is insufficient and thereby the reference materials dealing with the topic is far from complete.","PeriodicalId":176895,"journal":{"name":"Sztuka Ameryki Łacińskiej","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131657781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The medieval nun St. Gertrude – barely remembered today – was reinterpreted as a Counter-Reformation saint, set against Protestantism because of her German origins. She was ‘sworn’ in New Spain as Patroness of the city of Puebla, and was known for her interceding powers in preparing for death and as a champion in saving souls from Purgatory. Not only was her cult paramount in ecclesiastical circles (such as religious orders and the secular clergy) but also widespread among various lay sectors of New Spain’s society.

Isidoro","doi":"10.15804/sal201201","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15804/sal201201","url":null,"abstract":"A special kind of wood architecture order for retables and pulpits is developed around the Lake Titicaca. It is possible, to consider it as a part of a regional itinerant aesthetic, i.e., zoomorphic order. Datable between the end of 17th century and 18th century, it is one of the stylems that define hybrid baroque, probably inspired in engraved sources. The above mentioned order already had been identified and documented 40 years ago by the architects José de Mesa and Teresa Gisbert. Nevertheless, to think again about this topic can throw new light to what was already said, extending certain aspects. I especially want to lead to the end one of their hypotheses: This column is also a mannerist survival since it is inspired by treatise writers, so Palladio in his book ‘Quarter of Architecture’ treats Nerva’s temple, on chapter VIII, showing a capital with horses, and Sagredo has a capital with heads of sheeps. This conjecture is founded on the traffic of architecture treatises, but especially on the idea of inspiration and not a faithful reproduction of the engraving sources, since there was only a few holders of those books. On the other hand, it was more possible to have copies in diverse degrees due to their transformations because of transposition process. With that idea, I allow myself to advance on the topic from a new perspective. It is to consider the contribution of a contemporary referrer, already well known and with a great influence in continental Europe in the beginning of the development of these hybrid works: Jean Bérain the Elder (1640–1711). In his repertoire, we find his proposals on variants of capitals of columns and pilasters. Here the arabesque subordinates the acanthus and there is a wide development of fantastic animals or semihuman beings of a classic mythological character – that shows us an evident mannerist influence. I will focus on the research of this order, in two cases: gospel altarpiece in Pomata’s transept and Yunguyo’s major altar and pulpit, two Dominican churches in the former colonial Chucuito in Peru.","PeriodicalId":176895,"journal":{"name":"Sztuka Ameryki Łacińskiej","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124592596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
