El sobredimensionamiento y otros recursos plásticos como representación de la capacidad extática–visionaria en el arte chamánico americano
Zea Books January 1, 2024 Ana María Llamazares
Visionary shamanic art across American traditions often depicts figures with oversized heads, hands, feet, or other body parts, along with rays, auras, or appendages that convey energetic magnification. This trait is interpreted as an explicit representation of ecstatic or visionary capacity. The article draws on archaeological and contemporary records from pre-Hispanic and ethnographic iconography, offering a transcultural comparative perspective across different epochs and traditions to show how this iconographic resource expresses altered perception.
