COPYING PROCESSES IN THE CIRCULATION OF INFORMATION AND VISUAL FLOWS. A CASE STUDY BETWEEN THE SEMI-ARID NORTH OF CHILE AND CENTRAL ARGENTINA (CA. 1550-350 BP)
PROCESOS DE COPIA EN LA CIRCULACIÓN DE INFORMACIÓN Y FLUJOS VISUALES. UN ESTUDIO DE CASO ENTRE EL NORTE SEMIÁRIDO DE CHILE Y EL CENTRO DE ARGENTINA (CA. 1550-350 AP)
Luis Tissera
Based on the analysis of distribution and variation gradients in a set of geometric motifs documented in the rock art of the Semi-arid North of Chile as “circles with parallel external appendages”, and also identified in the central Sierras de Argentina, this study explores the circulation of information through visual flows on a macroregional scale. As an approach to cultural transmission phenomena, it examines the mechanisms of iconographic replication, using various classification schemes that provide differential information, while also discussing the possible directionality involved in such long-distance processes of image selection and reproduction.
