Símbolos de poder entre las mujeres mayas de la élite. Un análisis iconográfico de los ornamentos femeninos.

2016

La aplicación de la perspectiva de género al estudio del arte maya es relativamente reciente, por lo que, a pesar de que cada vez son más abundantes los escritos que centran su atención en la representación de la figura femenina, aún quedan muchos aspectos pendientes de investigar. Por este motivo, en este artículo nos remontamos a los primeros trabajos destinados a reflexionar en torno a esta temática y que han marcado las bases de las futuras investigaciones, antes de adentrarnos en el tema que nos ocupa: de qué manera los ornamentos, y más concretamente los que se colocaban en torno al cuello y sobre el pecho, contribuían a construir la imagen de poder de las antiguas mujeres mayas. Para…

Color Signals in the Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix): Signal Properties and Their Condition Dependency

2009

Recent progress in techniques of quantifying between-individual differences of color-based ornaments has revealed undiscovered possibilities for research in sexual selection. We present how the color spectra data can be comprehensively used for studying the importance of sexual ornaments in the black grouse and how these ornaments are related to a male condition. For this, we used both correlative field and experimental data. Field data indicated that older males had more chromatic coloration than yearlings. Blue chroma of males was correlated with male mating success. We experimentally manipulated yearling birds with testosterone implants and found that testosterone-implanted males had imp…

Beyond Characterisation. Polished Stone Exchange in the Western Mediterranean 5500-2000 BC

2001

Using new provenance studies on stone implements from the Valencia region of Spain between 5500-2000 BC, we show not only the large scale of some exchange systems, but also consider how, and why, tastes and fashions are co-ordinated over much of the Western Mediterranean. The study considers the processes of raw material substitution underlying the observed patterns. These processes operate for a wide range of lithic materials, including rare minerals like variscite and fossil shells for ornaments. Simple gravity models of distribution and exchange predominate at all periods. Our study extends from Portugal to Italy, and indicates that a system of shared symbolic values, of axeheads, beads …

Lekking in the black grouse— a test of male viability

1991

LEKS, where males congregate to display and females attend only to mate, present one of the most remarkable outcomes of sexual selection1. It is a common but untested belief that females mate with the most vigorous males2. In leks of the black grouse Tetrao tetrix, males dominant in winter flocks were most successful in mating, as were males winning fights over female dummies placed at territory boundaries. Males tear feathers from each others' tail ornaments in combats, and attractive males always had undamaged tails. We report here that by choosing victorious males, females mate with males that are most likely to survive the following six months. There is a strong association between fema…

Latviešu etnogrāfiskā materiāla pielietojums lietišķās mākslas priekšmetu ražotāju vizuālajā identitātē

2015

Mūdienās bieži ir redzams, ka latviešu etnogrāfiskās zīmes tiek izmantotas dažādos dizaina elementos. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot vai šīs zīmes tiek izmantotas veidojot uzņēmumu vizuālo identitāti, vai tās izmanto tikai kā dizaina elementus, un vai zīmju simboliskajā nozīme ir svarīga tās izmantojot. Pētījuma galvenie uzdevumi ir uzzināt etnogrāfisko zīmju simbolisko nozīmi, izpētīt kādos gadījumos etnogrāfiskajām zīmēm ir bijusi piešķirta simbolizējoša nozīme. Pētījuma rezultātā jānoskaidro vai senāk un mūsdienās, izmantojot etnogrāfiskās zīmes, ir svarīgi ko tās simolizē. Tāpēc pētījuma gaitā tika izpētītas latviešu etnogrāfiskās zīmes, un to simboliskais pielietojums vēsturē un mūsdienās.…

Predictors of enhancing human physical attractiveness: Data from 93 countries

2022

People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as a…

Applications of the X-ray fluorescence analysis to the cultural patrimony of the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain): Painting, metal and paper

1999

We present examples of the application of the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to the study of the artistic and cultural patrimony of the Comunidad Valenciana in the following areas: a) Valencian paintings of the XV and XVI centuries; b) silver ornaments coming from Iberian towns (s. III b.C.); c) ink and paper samples in manuscripts and engravings of the XVII and XIX centuries. The non destructive analyses are carried out “in situ” using a XRF system that consists of a tube of X-rays of 50 kV and 1 mA, and a detector of Si(Li) with an energy resolution 140 eV (FWHM at 5.9 keV).
