Técnicas analíticas en el estudio de iconografías secuenciales en Perú y México

Abstract

This article is a contribution to the iconographic analyzes in archeological murals prepared by two societies of the Peruvian north coast and central Mexico. To advance the contextual understanding of sequential iconographies, also known as the series of iconographic sequences that represent movement in archaeological murals, two analytical techniques are applied, geometric morphometry (mathematical technique that allows the visualization of the spatial changes of the strokes and forms of iconographic representations) and chronophotography (photographic technique that communicates the sensation of dynamism of the bodies in a given time). In order to guarantee the animation of the representations contained in the archaeological murals of Tula (Mexico) and Huaca de la Luna (Peru), the research resorted to digital experimentation in Fantamorph, MorphX, Adobe Phtoshop CS6 and Adobe Premiere Pro software CS6.
