Of the Past, for the Future
Conservation is a core value for most archaeological societies. It is highlighted in their codes of ethics, statements of mission, and governance. In recognition of this, the World Archaeological Congress, with the Getty Conservation Institute and a consortium of other conservation organizations, brought together scholars working throughout the globe to discuss vital issues that affect archaeological heritage today. This volume presents the proceedings of the Conservation Theme at the Congress, held in Washington, D.C., June 22–26, 2003. Among the topics discussed are: Innovative Approaches to Policy and Management of Archaeological Sites; Finding Common Ground: The Role of Stakeholders in Decision Making; Archaeology and Tourism: A Viable Partnership?; Preserving the Cultural Heritage of Iraq and Afghanistan; Archaeology and Conservation in China Today; and Managing Archaeological Sites and Rock Art Sites in Southern Africa. These proceedings should do much to promote and strengthen the relationship between the disciplines of conservation and archaeology.
Science and Art
Science and art are increasingly interconnected in the activities of the study and conservation of works of art. Science plays a key role in cultural heritage, from developing new analytical techniques for studying the art, to investigating new ways of preserving the materials for the future. For example, high resolution multispectral examination of paintings allows art historians to view underdrawings barely visible before, while the use of non-invasive and micro-sampling analytical techniques allow scientists to identify pigments and binders that help art conservators in their work. It also allows curators to understand more about how the artwork was originally painted. Through a series of...
Los nuevos alquimistas
“Los nuevos alquimistas” es como el autor denomina a quienes se aventuran en el campo de la restauración. Desde una mirada sociológica bourdieana, constituida a partir de los conceptos de campo, capital y habitus, Vega Cárdenas entrega una perspectiva nueva y reflexiva que posibilita a los agentes implicados en este campo incorporar en la actividad de la restauración tanto los materiales y técnicas específicos como los factores teóricos, políticos, sociales, económicos y filosóficos, para preservar, conservar y socializar el legado cultural. La obra así constituida es un aporte decisivo en la creación de una sociología de la restauración y, por ello, una lectura fundamental para restauradores, sociólogos, historiadores y todo interesado en el estudio de los procesos de transmisión cultural.
Arquitectura del Renacimiento en Nueva España
The present book is an important reference to understand the social conditions of the novohispanic artists of the 16th century as well as their relationships with the different levels of the artistic patronages. Author Cuesta analyses in detail his life, academic formation, architectural legacy and influence of Spanish architect, artist and sculptor, Claudio de Arciniega, (b. Burgos, Spain 1520 - d. México 1593), considered the most prestigious "Alerife" (architect) of the 16th century in colonial Mexico and who introduced the Renaissance style in the architecture of the viceregal buildings. Arciniega was a key figure in the stylistic evolution of the architectonic forms in Nueva Espaa, although he is mostly remembered as the architect the Cathedral of Mexico City and possibly many more (Puebla).
