The Shape of Time: Remarks on the History of Things
George KublerBOOKShape of Time2017
When it was first released in 1962, The Shape of Time presented a radically new approach to the study of art history. Drawing upon new insights in fields such as anthropology and linguistics, George Kubler replaced the notion of style as the basis for histories of art with the concept of historical sequence and continuous change across time. Kubler’s classic work is now made available in a freshly designed edition. “ The Shape of Time is as relev…
Chichen-Itzá y Tula
Open AccessGeorge Kubler, George A KublerARTICLEEstudios de Cultura Maya2012
El gran parecido que existe entre algunos de los edificios de Chichen-Itzá y y los de Tula en el altiplano de México, fue notado por primera vez por D. Charnay hacia 1800 depués de visitar ambos sitios. Las observaciones de Charnay se confirmaron en 1940 cuando el gobierno mexicano inició excavaciones en Tula
Réplica Del Doctor Kubler Al Trabajo De Alberto Ruz Que Antecede
Open AccessGeorge Kubler, George A KublerARTICLEEstudios de Cultura Maya2012
El principal desacuerdo entre el profesor Ruz y yo se refiere a la fecha de la caída de Tula. Yo acepto para la historia prehispánica tardía del Valle de México la convincente revisión del doctor Paul Kirchhoff basada sobre la serie completa de las fuentes escritas. Los estudios de Kirchhoff me sugieren la fecha del abandono de Tula hacia 1260 d. C., o sea, un siglo más tarde que la fecha convencional usada por el profesor Ruz. Debí de haber indi…

The Bicephalous "Animal Style" in Northern Eurasian Religious Art and Its Western Hemispheric Analogues [and Comments and Reply]
Balaji Mundkur, B B Mundkür et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1984
Zoomorphic motifs, including a great variety of artistic variations on the theme of double-headedness, are a useful criterion in iconographic approaches to the ethnoarcheology of New and Old World cultures. These motifs, which are fostered even today in the animal-centered traditions of hunting peoples and their descendants in northern Eurasia and the Americas, seem to have been introduced into North America, via Beringia, at least 14,000 to 10,0…
Pre-Columbian Pilgrimages in Mesoamerica
Open AccessGeorge KublerARTICLEDiogenes1984References: 3
Before Columbus, Old and New World customs of pilgrimage differed so greatly that separate names today are needed to describe their functions and characters more accurately. In English, pilgrimage and all its synonyms are divided as two families of words, one having to do with journey, and the other with endeavor
Quetzalcoatl and the Irony of Empire: Myths and Prophecies in the Aztec Tradition
George Kubler, Davíd CarrascoARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review1984Cited by: 15
David Carrasco draws from the perspectives of the history of religions, anthropology, and urban ecology to explore the nature of the complex symbolic form of Quetzalcoatl in the organization, legitimation, and subversion of a large segment of the Mexican urban tradition. His new Preface addresses this tradition in the light of the Columbian quincentennial. This book, rich in ideas, constituting a novel approach . . . represents a stimulating and …

A Sixteenth-Century Meaning of the Escorial
Open AccessGeorge KublerARTICLEDiogenes1981
A quest for meaning characterizes the thought of this century everywhere in humanistic studies, and it is a quest justified by exploring and mapping old and new terrains of which the resources are still uncertain. The Monastery of Escorial today raises so many questions about the traditional ideas with which we treat the history of art in the sixteenth century, that they are the subject of this paper. It is in four parts: the Escorial as Manneris…

Period, Style and Meaning in Ancient American Art
George KublerARTICLENew Literary History1970Cited by: 17
THE word encloses many meanings. In archaeology, its minimal sense is as a unit of time or contemporaneity, differing from a stage, or unit of cultural similarity.I Period also means recurrence among similar units of duration, in the sense conveyed by periodicity and specific duration. The life-span of each species is a known duration, and every member of the species shares that duration. Whatever exists may be said to have or to share in a speci…

Towards Absolute Time: Guano Archaeology
Open AccessGeorge KublerARTICLEMemoirs of the Society for…1948Cited by: 12
The Peruvian records indicate that the guano islands (Fig. 14) yielded, between 1826 and 1875, several thousand artifacts of pre-Conquest origin. These are probably only a fraction of the archaeological material actually discovered during the commercial destruction of guano caps. Most of it has been lost; several hundred specimens in the museums of Europe and America still retain some record of their origin; and a small group of pieces, with whic…
The Cult of the Serpent in the Americas: Its Asian Background [and Comments and Reply]
Balaji Mundkur, B B Mundkür et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1976Cited by: 7References: 9
The origins of ophiolatry in the Western Hemisphere are obscure. It may be part of an extremely ancient, worldwide pattern of veneration of cult animals; it may have arisen independently among the Northeast Asian immigrants to the New World only after they had crossed the Bering-Chukchi land bridge between at least 15,000 and 25,000 to 45,000 years ago; or it may have been affected, if not imported, by serpent- (or dragon-) venerating societies o…

Probablemente Cholula sea la ciudad más vieja del hemisferio occidental que ha estado constantemente habitada. La gran pirámide muestra cuatro fases de reconstrucción de primera importancia, las cuales cubren cerca de dos mil años,1 y la traza misma del caserío se alteró muchas veces, cuando pueblos nuevos ocupaban la ciudad antigua como invasores o como inmigrantes, o a la vez como lo uno y lo otro. Los esquemas precolombinos se dibujaron cuatro…

This article compares the frontier experience of the bandeirantes in Brazil with that of the pioneers in North America. It argues that despite geographical and historical differences, both groups shared a common pattern of cultural adaptation to frontier conditions. The authors analyze the social, economic, and psychological factors that shaped the development of these two frontier societies, highlighting the role of individualism, violence, and …
