Figurines

As touchable objects, figurines have potential for a potent agency in relation to those who use them. This volume considers the figurine as a key conceptual and material problematic in the art history of antiquity through comparative juxtaposition and deep art-historical engagement with Chinese, pre-Columbian Mesoamerican, and Greco-Roman cultures.

Ca obiecte atinse, figurinele au potential pentru o agentie puternica in raport cu cei care le folosesc. Acest volum considera figurina ca o problema conceptuala si materiala cheie in istoria artei din antichitate prin juxtapunere comparativa si angajament profund istoric-artistic cu culturile chineze, precolombiene mezoamericane si greco-romane.
