Luz y oscuridad
Partiendo de un análisis de los grabados de catafalcos, este artículo considerará el color negro como falta y como presencia. Se considerará la carga simbólica del color, también estudiando el aspecto material de cómo se hacían las tintas, colorantes, y pintura que se usaba para producirlo. En relación con su carga simbólica se reconocerá las resonancias morales, religiosas, y raciales que influyeron la recepción y percepción de este color. ¿Cómo…
Designing Risk, Accumulating Failure
In Fall 2020, Paul Johnson, Emily Floyd, and Kati Curts met on Zoom. In this edit of their extended conversation, the authors question “planned sacred space,” the role of design in creating religious experience, and the category of the “relic.”
Confraternal Letter
A simple woodcut on a late-seventeenth-century membership letter of the confraternity of Souls of the Cathedral of Lima depicts two souls bathed in flames, gazing up at Christ crucified. Stylized drops of blood pour from each of Christ’s wounded hands, visual embodiments of the doctrinal logic behind indulgences

Tras los pasos de un artista en blanco y negro
Sólo conocemos una representación de un taller de imprenta colonial sudamericana. Burilada por el dominico y pintor-grabador Miguel Adame, la imagen se compone de dos planchas de metal separadas que, al unirse, conforman una vista de la imprenta regentada por el impresor y editor José de Contreras y Alvarado (figs. 1–2).1 Adame cortó las planchas para que fuesen incluidas en un libro de exequias en honor a Carlos II, escrito por José de Buendía y…
The Word as Object in Colonial Spanish South America
This article centers on the devotional volume Corona de la divinissima María, published in Lima in 1644. This volume primarily takes the form of an extended exegesis of the words spoken by the Virgin Mary as recorded in the Bible, while also exploring the power of the Virgin’s name and narrating the author’s search for her true lived physical appearance. The book includes 37 engraved illustrations. One of these engravings reproduces a painting th…
Privileging the Local
Early modern inhabitants of the Viceroyalty of Peru were caught between two worlds: they were simultaneously American and influenced by the unique geographic and cultural circumstances of their place of residence and part of the broader Spanish Empire. Furthermore, they faced negative characterizations of the New World by Europeans who dismissed it as a decadent, amoral place, where climatological and astrological conditions led to the degenerati…
Collaborative scholarly communities and access in the study of material and visual cultures of religion
The Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion at Yale University (MAVCOR) does not simply, or even most fundamentally, shape a physical center at Yale University. Although MAVCOR organizes events at Yale and coordinates project cycles involving Yale affiliates as well as scholars from other universities in the United States and around the world, much of MAVCOR’s activity is conducted online. MAVCOR publishes a born-digital,…
