Making visible history: Engaging ancient Maya sculpture (Mexico, Guatemala).
O'Neil, Megan Eileen.

Making visible history: Engaging ancient Maya sculpture (Mexico, Guatemala). - 404 p.

Director: Mary Ellen Miller.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 2005.

This dissertation is an exploration of the historical dimensions of ancient Maya monumental stone sculpture from the fifth through the eighth centuries AD in present-day Chiapas, Mexico and the Peten, Guatemala. To this end, it is an investigation of how the Maya manipulated images and objects about and from their pasts as a means of envisioning and re-envisioning those pasts in relation to their own present. This took place in various ways, including the representation of persons and events from the past, the imitation or emulation of images and objects from the past, and the resetting of old objects in new contexts. The Maya thereby revived or reactivated pieces of the past in order to give new contexts to the present and past, forging connections with specific personages and events and creating webs of precedent and tradition.

520 # $a This dissertation is an exploration of the historical dimensions of ancient Maya monumental stone sculpture from the fifth through the eighth centuries AD in present-day Chiapas, Mexico and the Peten, Guatemala. To this end, it is an investigation of how the Maya manipulated images and objects about and from their pasts as a means of envisioning and re-envisioning those pasts in relation to their own present. This took place in various ways, including the representation of persons and events from the past, the imitation or emulation of images and objects from the past, and the resetting of old objects in new contexts. The Maya thereby revived or reactivated pieces of the past in order to give new contexts to the present and past, forging connections with specific personages and events and creating webs of precedent and tradition.
520 # $a Using information, methodology, and theory from art history, epigraphy, archaeology, and history, the author explores image, text, and context in the analysis of ancient Maya sculptures. The examinations concern not only the moment of creation but also changes over time that transpire with new creations, new contexts, and new juxtapositions. Therefore, this dissertation explores individual sculptures in detail and their physical and architectural contexts, in addition to the concept of Maya cities as palimpsests in which visible histories were written, augmented, erased, and rewritten. Moreover, the author suggests that ancient Maya viewers experienced and created history in a variety of ways through vision and movement in and among these sculptures. These continuing and dynamic creations of history align with concepts of the cyclicality and linearity of Maya time and history and practices of remapping the past in order to lead to the present.
