Book Description
El color, fuente de intensas experiencias sensoriales, es tambien vehiculo de la transmision cultural. En "Color y cultura," John Gage muestra como la percepcion del color, en apariencia inmediata y atemporal, tiene una dimension historica. El estudio, centrado en la historia del arte, nos remite a un horizonte mas amplio, vinculando la obra de los artistas a la investigacion cientifica, la filosofia o la mentalidad religiosa. El autor reconstruye, con impresionante erudicion, los avatares de la teoria y la practica del color desde la Antiguedad. Sucesivamente desfilan los terminos y teorias de los griegos, el color en los mosaicos bizantinos y en la ornamentacion del islam, las vidrieras goticas inspiradas en la filosofia neoplatonica de la luz, la terminologia y el simbolismo de la heraldica. En el Renacimiento, el color desempena un papel en el debate frente al disegno en pintura -con Alberti, Ghiberti, Leonardo o los tratadistas venecianos- y, por otra parte, en la iconografia de la alquimia. La epoca moderna asistira a la escision de la teoria del color en una ciencia positiva (desde Newton) y una filosofia de la sensacion subjetiva (de Goethe a las teorias expresionistas).En este apasionante recorrido historico -acompanado por doscientas veintitres ilustraciones, ciento veinte en color- se insertan episodios de interes perenne: la fascinacion por el arco iris, las cualidades de los pigmentos y las tecnicas de su elaboracion; la evolucion de la paleta en la pintura o la comparacion entre la musica y el color. Completa el estudio una bibliografia de mas de dos mil cuatrocientos titulos.

Book Description
Cultura y Corazón is a research approach and practice that is rooted in the work of Latinx and Chicanx scholars and intellectuals. The book documents best practices for Community Based and Participatory Action Research (CBPAR), which is both culturally attuned and scientifically demonstrated. This methodology takes a decolonial approach to engaging community members in the research process and integrates critical feminist and indigenous epistemologies. Cultura y Corazón presents case studies from the authors’ work within the fields of education and health. It offers key strategies to working in partnership with marginalized Latinx communities that are grounded in deep respect for the communities’ cultures and lived experiences. This book is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners who want to work with vulnerable populations through a community-based approach that truly respects and integrates culture, values, and funds of knowledge.

Book Description
This fully revised and expanded 2nd edition provides a single authoritative resource describing the concepts of color and the application of color science across research and industry. Significant changes for the 2nd edition include: New and expanded sections on color engineering More entries on fundamental concepts of color science and color terms Many additional entries on specific materials Further material on optical concepts and human visual perception Additional articles on organisations, tools and systems relevant to color A new set of entries on 3D presentation of color In addition, many of the existing entries have been revised and updated to ensure that the content of the encyclopedia is current and represents the state of the art. The work covers the full gamut of color: the fundamentals of color science; the physics and chemistry; color as it relates to optical phenomena and the human visual system; and colorants and materials. The measurement of color is described through entries on colorimetry, color spaces, color difference metrics, color appearance models, color order systems and cognitive color. The encyclopedia also has extensive coverage of applications throughout industry, including color imaging, color capture, display and printing, and descriptions of color encodings, color management, processing color and applications relating to color synthesis for computer graphics are included. The broad scope of the work is illustrated through entries on color in art conservation, color and architecture, color and education, color and culture, and biographies of some of the key figures involved in color research throughout history. With over 250 entries from color science researchers across academia and industry, this expanded 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Color Science and Technology remains the most important single resource in color science.

Color and Cognition in Mesoamerica
Author: Robert E. MacLauryPublisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 9780292751934
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 660
Book Description
More than 100 indigenous languages are spoken in Mexico and Central America. Each language partitions the color spectrum according to a pattern that is unique in some way. But every local system of color categories also shares characteristics with the systems of other Mesoamerican languages and of languages elsewhere in the world. This book presents the results of the Mesoamerican Color Survey, which Robert E. MacLaury conducted in 1978-1981. Drawn from interviews with 900 speakers of some 116 Mesoamerican languages, the book provides a sweeping overview of the organization and semantics of color categorization in modern Mesoamerica. Extensive analysis and MacLaury's use of vantage theory reveal complex and often surprising interrelationships among the ways languages categorize colors. His findings offer valuable cross-cultural data for all students of Mesoamerica. They will also be of interest to all linguists and cognitive scientists working on theories of categorization more generally.
Painting the Skin

Pages : 329
Book Description
Mesoamerican communities past and present are characterized by their strong inclination toward color and their expert use of the natural environment to create dyes and paints. In pre-Hispanic times, skin was among the preferred surfaces on which to apply coloring materials. Archaeological research and historical and iconographic evidence show that, in Mesoamerica, the human body—alive or dead—received various treatments and procedures for coloring it. Painting the Skin brings together exciting research on painted skins in Mesoamerica. Chapters explore the materiality, uses, and cultural meanings of the colors applied to a multitude of skins, including bodies, codices made of hide and vegetal paper, and even building “skins.” Contributors offer physicochemical analysis and compare compositions, manufactures, and attached meanings of pigments and colorants across various social and symbolic contexts and registers. They also compare these Mesoamerican colors with those used in other ancient cultures from both the Old and New Worlds. This cross-cultural perspective reveals crucial similarities and differences in the way cultures have painted on skins of all types. Examining color in Mesoamerica broadens understandings of Native religious systems and world views. Tracing the path of color use and meaning from pre-Columbian times to the present allows for the study of the preparation, meanings, social uses, and thousand-year origins of the coloring materials used by today’s Indigenous peoples.
