La procesión del Corpus en Sevilla: influencias sociales y políticas en la evolución del cortejo
2007
This paper deals about the changes happened in the procession of the Corpus Christi in Seville. We have news of that from 1363, and along the following centuries, but the most interesting is the way the procession is represented by two series of drawings one from 1747, and the other from 1866. This two series allow us to see the differences between them, that were due mainly to the politic, social, and religious changes. Se trata en este artículo sobre los cambios ocurridos en la procesión del Corpus Christi en Sevilla. La primera noticia es de 1363, y a partir de esta fecha se conocen bastantes acontecimientos en los siglos siguientes, pero lo más interesante es la manera en que se represe…

Rewriting antiquity, renewing Rome. The Identity of the Eternal City through Visual Art, Monumental Inscriptions and the Mirabilia
2011
AbstractDuring the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Church began a process of renovation (renovatio) and the city of Rome was given new meanings. Antiquity is part of the identity of the Eternal City; the reuse or reframing of aspects of antiquity inevitably transformed the image of Rome. Public spaces, architecture and objects were given new Christian readings. Inscriptions, present both in sacred and secular settings, played an important role. A similar rewriting can also be found in travel literature and descriptions of the city, such as in the Mirabilia urbis Rome, where ancient monuments were re-interpreted to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. Inscriptions were used as sym…

Concepto estereotipado de arte en películas clásicas Disney
2021
La cultura visual se compone de un conjunto de imágenes fijas o en movimiento que son utilizadas para generar un adoctrinamiento en quienes las consumen de forma pasiva. Se rescata Disney como productora de animación que perdura posicionamientos de la sociedad heteropatriarcal y se estudian largometrajes de su colección debido a la influencia que generan entre el público que los consumen a lo largo de un siglo de existencia. En esta ocasión se analiza de una manera cualitativa a través de una metodología de IBI o Investigación Basada en Imágenes una muestra de 10 películas clásicas Disney y protagonizadas por princesas. Concretamente, se atiende al concepto de arte y a la manera en la que l…
Comparison between GPR measurements and ultrasonic tomography with different inversion algorithms: an application to the base of an ancient Egyptian …
2011
By late 2008 one of the most important pieces of the ‘Museo delle Antichit`a Egizie’ of Turin, the sculpture of the Pharaoh with god Amun, was planned to be one of the masterpieces of a travelling exhibition in Japan. The ‘Fondazione Museo delle Antichit`a Egizie di Torino’, who manages the museum, was concerned with the integrity of the base of the statue which actually presents visible signs of restoration dating back to the early 19th century. It was required to estimate the persistence of the visible fractures, to search for unknown ones and to provide information about the overall mechanical strength of the base. To tackle the first question a GPR reflection survey along three sides of…
