Images from the Region of the Pueblo Indians of North America / Aby M. Warburg -- Aby Warburg's Kreuzlingen Lecture: A Reading / Michael P. Steinberg. Aby M. Warburg (1866-1929) is recognized not only as one of the century's preeminent art and Renaissance historians but also as a founder of twentieth-century methods in iconology and cultural studies in general. Warburg's 1923 lecture, first published in German in 1988 and now available for the first time in English translation, Michael Steinberg offers offers at once a window on his career, a formative statement of his cultural history of modernity, and a document in the ethnography of the American Southwest. This edition includes thirty-nine photographs, many of them originally presented as slides with the speech, and a rich interpretive essay by the translator. Images from the Region of the Pueblo Indians of North America translates Warburg's seminal study of the "serpent ritual" of the Hopi people, which grew out of a trip to the American Southwest undertaken by Warburg in 1895-1896.

Aby Warburg brach im September 1895 zu einer Reise in die USA auf, die für ihn wie auch für die wissenschaftliche Disziplin Kunstgeschichte folgenreich war. Die Ergebnisse seiner kulturanthropologischen Forschungen ('Schlangenritual'), die er 1897 in Vorträgen und 1923 im Kreuzlinger Sanatorium präsentierte, werden erstmals in verlässlichen Transkriptionen und mit allen Bilddokumenten vorgelegt. Neben ca. 200 Fotografien, die Warburg etwa von Tanzritualen der Pueblo-Indianer aufnahm, bietet diese Edition erstmals den vollständigen Katalog seiner Sammlung indianischer Artefakte. Ausführlich kommentiert und Kenntnisse zu jener Reise erweiternd, zeigt der Band, wie Warburg die Erforschung der Kultur der Hopi zur kulturpsychologischen Selbstbetrachtung des europäischen Wissenschaftlers nutzt.

"Quetzalcoatl was written during Lawrence's first stay in Mexico, in May and June 1923, and registers his initial responses to those aspects of Mexican landscape, religion, politics and culture which would fascinate him over the following two years. On leaving Mexico in July 1923, he described Quetzalcoatl as 'nearly finished', intending to revise it later, but in the event actually rewrote it almost completely, and it was published as The Plumed Serpent in 1926. This is the first scholarly edition of the original manuscripts and typescripts of Quetzalcoatl, and includes a record of all revisions Lawrence made in the course of writing it, detailed explanatory notes and an introduction outlining its compositional history. With the publication of this volume, all Lawrence's novels, in their first, intermediate and final versions, are now available in the Cambridge edition"--
