Telas con efectos mágicos: iconografía en las distintas culturas Entre el arte, la moda y la comunicación

Abstract

The fabrics and weaves produced by the different cultures can have varied functions
between which the following stand out: to be a language that communicates with further on;
to demonstrate tracks of beliefs of the present fabrics; to act as to prolong the maternal belly;
to show hierarchic community brands; to show segregation; to symbolize a trophy before some
victory; to grant talisman effects; and from the artistic point of view, to express creativity, beauty and wealth of materials. Tie in fashion or to the decoration of spaces within the architecture:
showy, useful and daily, fabrics can besides protecting, being studied from more important
approaches. Anthropology, sociology, history, religion and art can offer contributions to see in
them another kind of communication.
