Circling the Square

Circling the Squareaf Anthony Aveni
Bag om Circling the Square

"Examines 'the historical underpinnings of the sea change in the pictorial representation of calendrical time that took place in Hispanic Mesoamerica.' Discusses the deeply entrenched circular view of time in the West and the indigenous temporal representations in square or quadrangular form. The post-contact representation of time is thus an example of how fundamental native concepts were affected by the clash of cultures we call the Spanish conquest"--Provided by publisher.
