La civilización en la mirada

Every civilization is shaped by collectively shared images. Its members are characterized by a unique way of seeing the world they inhabit, so the difference in perceptions marks the diversity of each civilization. Mary Beard illustrates this with a fascinating two-part exploration. The first part concerns the art of the body: the diverse visions of the human body across time and space, from the colossal statues of the pharaohs to the terracotta warriors of China. The second part addresses an even more complex theme: the imagery of the problems that all religions, ancient or modern, have faced in representing the divine.
