"WE SEE AND HEAR":CONSTRUCTING IDENTITY IN THE PICTORIAL HISTORIES OF 16TH c. AMERICA This seminar will focus on issues of cultural and ethnic identity as reflected in early colonial Latin American devices for record keeping, in particular pictorial manuscripts created postcontact. Stimulated by the current scholarship on the unpublished 16th c. illustrated manuscript in the Getty collection by the Mercedarian friar, Martín de Murúa, the seminar will also analyze the great Andean chronicle of the native Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala and compare these with the encyclopedic Florentine Codex by the Spanish Franciscan Bernardino de Sahagún of Mexico. Other relevant facsimiles of pictorial manuscripts, both prehispanic and early colonial, will be consulted for better understanding of authorship, dating, and postconquest changes in style, iconography, and text-image relationships. The changing roles of dress, textile design and gender will also be addressed. Guest lecturers will include Thomas Kren, Elizabeth Boone, Tom Cummins, and Carolyn Dean. Students will be expected to attend weekly meetings at the Getty, actively participate in discussions of assigned readings, and produce a ca. 20-page paper on an approved topic at the end of the quarter.
