Ante la alteración de parte sustancial de la cultura vinculada a los textiles, durante cinco años se llevó a cabo una investigación dirigida a salvaguardar este patrimonio en vías de ser olvidado para siempre, la cual demostró el rol de los textiles en los rituales y la relación entre algunos motivos bordados con la cosmogonía maya. Este trabajo científico despertó la inquietud de grupos de jóvenes bordadoras ávidas de reapropiarse del significado simbólico de los motivos. Otras iniciativas prueban el interés de las jóvenes generaciones mayas en el proyecto de rescate iniciado en septiembre de 2022, en colaboración con la joven meno’ob Leydi Dorantes, cuyo objetivo es abrir nuevas vías de investigación asociadas al conocimiento del contenido cultural de los bordados de plantas medicinales.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"103 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":"116676912","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}

Carbonell","doi":"10.32873/unl.dc.zea.1210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32873/unl.dc.zea.1210","url":null,"abstract":"In the Llullaillaco contexts, the tocapu and cumbi designs are repeated in significant textiles worn by the sacrificed children and on the miniatures worn by the figurines that make up the offerings. Both the anthropomorphic metal miniatures (in gold and silver) and those of mullu (spondylus) are dressed with an uncu (tunic), yacolla (cloak) and llautu (headband). They carry a bag or chuspa with the same patterns as the clothes the children are wearing. Our understating of the meaning of tocapu is based on the descriptions of chroniclers. These descriptions are sometimes intimately linked to the idea of textiles, and at other times to the narrative of the designs, although we do not know yet a system that allows us to decipher its real meaning. Tocapu has been used radically differently in political, cultural and religious fields. They are defined by having a repetitive pattern sometimes, though not repetitive at other times, with abstract shapes composed of geometric figures and organized lines that represent a meaning. Tocapu is transhistorical, we can find it today in different regions linked to architecture, ritual symbols, to the Inca, and in later centuries influencing richly ornamental clothes and cloaks (for example, in the colonial period).","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"66 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":"124852105","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}

Se describen brevemente los antecedentes de la colección, el sitio arqueológico de proveniencia y su contexto geográfico, histórico y religioso. Incluye además una selección de objetos y un breve análisis de los elementos iconográficos de la cerámica. El estudio de la colección concluyó un año después y el reporte completo se publicó en diciembre 2020. A partir de entonces, un reciente descubrimiento arqueológico en Cobán y otros estudios realizados en el área de Alta Verapaz y las tierras bajas aledañas, así como las consultas con especialistas que han observado la colección, han aportado ideas e interpretaciones adicionales sobre el material y la relevancia de Chich’en en esta región cuya historia es poco conocida. En el presente artículo analizamos algunos aspectos de la colección partiendo de los estudios y contribuciones de otros autores, con el propósito de encontrar respuestas a las múltiples preguntas sobre los objetos, el contexto en que se encontraron, su significado y función.

Therefore the analogy between the architecture, the sculpture and the painting will help us to comprehend not only the how, but the why and what for these monuments were made. This lecture aims to analyse and understand these relationships to a greater interpretation of Amerindian architecture and its worldview; the importance and the strong symbolism of these monuments and the legacy and influences that comes from them.

Eighteen-year-old Nami Kataoka hoped her marriage to Baron Takeo Kawashima would bring freedom from her overbearing stepmother. But the couple’s happiness is spoiled by her illness, her mother-in-law’s jealousy, and the schemes of Chijiwa, her husband’s cousin and her own disappointed suitor. Takeo’s naval career takes him away for long periods, and when war breaks out between Japan and China (in 1894), his mother takes advantage of his absence to break up the marriage, sending Nami back to her father, the General Kataoka. Despite his love for Nami, Takeo— who is fearless and resolute in facing Chinese naval bombardment—is hesitant and seemingly helpless in the face of his mother’s interference. More than a love story, the novel is a reflection on the systemic oppression of women—even among the wealthy classes—as well as the contrast between traditional samurai values and the emergent commercial interests, and, moreover, the awakening of Japanese nationalism as expressed through military expansion.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","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":"122666231","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}
