2001A0812xvi220 pages with figures maps tables plates appendix bibliography and index. Octavo 9" x 6" bound in original wrappers. Inscribed by the author. First edition.<br /><br />Based on their enormously complex calendars that recorded cycles of many kinds the Aztecs and other ancient Mesoamerican civilizations are generally believed to have had a cyclical rather than linear conception of time and history. This boldly revisionist book challenges the understanding. Ross Hassig offers convincing evidence that for the Aztecs time was predominantly linear that it was manipulated by the state as a means of controlling a dispersed tribute empire and that the Conquest cut off state control and severed the unity of the calendar leaving only the lesser cycles. From these he asserts we have inadequately reconstructed the pre-Columbian calendar and so misunderstood the Aztec conception of time and history. Hassig first presents the tradition explanation of the Aztec calendrical system and its ideological functions and then marshals contrary evidence to argue that the Aztec elite deliberately used calendars and timekeeping to achieve practical political ends. He further traces how the Conquest played out in the temporal realm as Spanish conceptions of time partially displaced the Aztec one. His findings promise to revolutionize our understanding of how the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican societies conceived of time and history.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Inscribed on title.

Prima edizione First Edition. <em>Since the late sixties John Hilliard's work has evolved by continually raising questions about the nature of photography as a representational medium subjecting it to a critical examination of its shortcomings and unreliability while also celebrating its material specificity. Pictorial characteristics such as lighting proportion and perspective and their realisation within photography build the basis of Hilliard's interest and are constantly challenged in his works. By emphasising the distinctions of photography in relation to other artistic media such as painting drawing or sculpture he continues a dialogue on its position within contemporary visual arts.<br /><br /></em> <em>Dalla fine degli anni Sessanta il lavoro di John Hilliard si è"; evoluto sollevando continuamente domande sulla natura della fotografia come mezzo di rappresentazione sottoponendola a un esame critico delle sue carenze e della sua inaffidabilità e celebrando al contempo la sua specificità" materiale. Le caratteristiche pittoriche come l'illuminazione le proporzioni e la prospettiva e la loro realizzazione all'interno della fotografia sono alla base dell'interesse di Hilliard e vengono costantemente messe in discussione nelle sue opere. Sottolineando le distinzioni della fotografia rispetto ad altri mezzi artistici come la pittura il disegno o la scultura Hilliard prosegue il dialogo sulla sua posizione all'interno delle arti visive contemporanee.</em> Holzwarth Publications, hardcover
