| Popis: | Introduction: This paper proposes an interdisciplinary understanding of the ceramic practice in Guaitil and San Vicente as a folk art that adapts a traditional production to meanings associated with contemporary contexts. Objective: The study analyzes the animalistic representations in contemporary ceramics from Guaitil and San Vicente as meta-images, in order to infer the influence of a scopic regime in their visual production. Methods: The research is based on visual characterization of a sample of ceramic vessels, the ethnographic technique of open conversations, and a bibliographic review. Results: It is suggested that one contemporary myth motivates and defines the animal representations introduced by tourist markets and institutional agents to adapt traditional production to external expectations. Conclusions: The images present in these ceramics are expressions of the world that produces them and reiterate the mythical narratives perceived as representations of reality. |
