Religiøs ikonografi hos nordamerikanske indianere - En introduktion

After a brief introduction to the literature on art and iconography among native peoples of the world, Erwin Panofsky’s definition of iconological studies and its implications are accepted with certain reservations. A typology of the religions iconography of native North Americans is then developed in this article based upon the epistemology of the History of Religions. This is accomplished by focussing upon the inherent typology exhibited by indigenous mythology and by emphasizing the relationships between the visual motives and their religious meanings
