From a wide perspective, this seminar focuses on the visual and material cultures of Amerindian peoples of Mesoamerica and Brazil, exploring various conceptual and geographic centers of artistic production. The goal of this seminar is to establish a dialogue, through historiographical production, between the Amerindian arts of Mesoamerica and Brazil in order to highlight not only possible thematic relationships among the material culture of the two regions, but also a theoretical-methodological approach with emphasis on interdisciplinarity between History of Art, Archaeology, History and Anthropology. Among the topics to be addressed are issues related to perspectivism, writing, iconography, agency, the social life of things and reception of Amerindian arts.
