“…From a broader context, and in order to make more visible, meaningful, and predictable relationships between social life and volcanic processes, we have to navigate in one interface where both volcanoes and society are present: the arts. To investigate this question, we ask ourselves whether or not this capacity of the arts was truncated with the constitution of modernity, since we are aware of the importance of arts in observing and communicating environmental phenomena since prehistoric times, as demonstrated by art rock and oral memory (e.g., Grebe et al, 1972;Isasmendi and López Campeny, 2022) or later with examples from early modern science, such as the illustrations of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions by William Hamilton in Campi Flegrei and Alexander von Humboldt in Chimborazo.…”

The conceptual distance between nature and society has been a concern within social sciences and interdisciplinary debates. We contribute to this discussion illustrating how arts have played an important role in demonstrating the entanglement of Earth and society through their ability to frame and shape the dynamics of the Earth across sensations. Through an examination of artistic representations in Chile, we seek to show how the proximity of Chilean society to the presence of volcanoes has been eloquently conveyed through various artistic styles across different historical epochs. Our study extends from the birth of the Chilean nation in 1818 to the year 2021, and examines a wide range of artistic representations, that encompass national symbols, image-making techniques, sculpture, art installations, poetry, music, and audiovisual works. Our research represents a pioneering effort to explore the diverse representations of volcanoes in Chile and has uncovered a remarkable diversity of artistic expressions that reflects the deep connection between Chilean society and volcanic processes and landscapes. Ever-present and often breathtaking, volcanoes have served as enduring symbols of national identity and as sources of inspiration for artists of diverse disciplines and aesthetic sensibilities. We illustrate how the arts reveal the relationship between volcanoes and social life and provide the basis for a detailed analysis that explores the temporal and spatial contexts in the representation of volcanoes and the human perception of geological phenomena in Chilean culture.

The separation between nature and society, of concern within social science and interdisciplinary discussions, has generated a division that often characterizes the way communities perceive their environment. The arts have played an important role in demonstrating the entanglement of Earth and society through their ability to frame and shape the dynamics of the Earth across sensations. This has been achieved through various explorations of the artistic language, delving into colors, shapes, sizes, compositions, and more. However, the capacity for art to play this role is often underestimated. Through an examination of artistic representations in Chile, we seek to show how the proximity of Chilean society to the presence of volcanoes has been eloquently conveyed through various artistic styles throughout different historical epochs. Our study extends from the birth of the Chilean nation in 1818 to 2021, and examines a wide range of artistic representations, that encompass national symbols, image-making techniques, sculpture, art installations, poetry, music, and audiovisual works. Our research represents a pioneering effort to explore the diverse representations of volcanoes in Chile and has uncovered a remarkable diversity of artistic expressions that reflects the deep connection between Chilean society and volcanic processes and landscapes. Ever-present and often breathtaking, volcanoes have served as enduring symbols of national identity and as sources of inspiration for artists of diverse disciplines and aesthetic sensibilities. We show how the arts reveal the relationship between volcanoes and human social life, and we provide the basis for a detailed analysis that explores the temporal and spatial contexts and evolution of the representations of volcanoes presented and the human perception of geological phenomena in Chilean culture.

Ritualidad y arte rupestre en la Sierra de Villicum (San Juan)

Una de las vías de explicación de la producción de arte rupestre es su vinculación con el desarrollo de rituales. El abundante registro rupestre de la provincia de San Juan (centro-oeste argentino) proporciona casos en los que puede ensayarse esta perspectiva. Uno de ellos es el de la quebrada La Pola, conocida como escenario de actividades religiosas y de brujería en tiempos coloniales y modernos, y cuyo carácter sagrado podría remontarse a momentos prehispánicos. En este sentido, se identificó un conjunto de motivos que podrían asociarse a mensajes canónicos involucrados en rituales y dar cuenta de la ejecución reiterada de estas actividades. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis de esos motivos y se examinan otros aspectos que estarían estrechamente relacionados con su ejecución, como la continuidad cronológica de los rituales, el uso del espacio y el posible carácter chamánico de algunos de ellos.
