Summary note

Moving between different disciplines, such as history and art theory, visual studies, anthropology and archaeology of the senses, and semiology, and through the analysis of a whole series of dazzling artistic creations-fabrics, ceramics, works in stone, feathers, and metal, and architectural works-placed in their historical, cultural, and landscape context, Adam Herring's study offers probe on how Inca art was fundamentally "situational", that is, at all times related in a complex way to specific temporal, spatial and performative conditions. Likewise, the author highlights the articulation existing in the pre-Hispanic Andes between perceptions and visual expressions and the ritual practices that governed power relations.
