Stephen D. Houston on Vital Signs: The Visual Cultures of Maya Writing, Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- What is alive or not, socially interactive or inert, may seem clear. It is not. The ancient Maya created images bursting with social energy and a kind of writing crackling with life. Maya writing is among the few known hieroglyphic systems, a type of script where vitality looms large. In ways both solemn and fun, glyphs touch on wider debates about the nature of matter, representation, and figuration, and how, in past belief, things made by humans possessed a miraculous capacity for action.
This is the first talk of the six-part series “Vital Signs: The Visual Cultures of Maya Writing,” presented by Stephen D. Houston of Brown University for the 72nd A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts.

Mellon, my sibling would love this!
National Gallery a priceless resource. Thank you to all who made this and other lecture series possible. That said. Turned CC on to get details of spellings of terms. Approximately 49:31 CC reads "[INAUDIBLE]". Yet Stephen D. Houston's words are not "Inaudible"... Houston's words are completely audible. The words are in ancient Mayan but they are audible. I would be overjoyed to transcribe these lectures as a labor of love and perform the proper research and ask questions so the audience especially those using CC because of a hearing impairment are able to read every crucial word spoken by Houston during this National Gallery Talks series. - Warmest Regards, Ted Pope, Morganton NC
Thank you for your comment. We've updated these captions to include the missing word.
Perhaps another facet to consider with regards to images depicting writing taking place, especially where actual text accompanies an image... is that the entire purpose of the image is the image itself. As an artist myself, I have depicted figures participating in activities involving books or even smaller artworks and innately I put forth less effort on the words or images with which the figure is interacting. And I do this, not to mystify what the figure is up to, but to make sure my audiance doesn't get lost. It is the bigger image I am trying to present, and omitting smaller details is a way to signal to the viewer that those items are not the story I am trying to tell and therefore they should feel free to skip them over.
Thank you Dr Knorozov
Make sure to watch them all.
