In this book, Alexander Parmington combines an examination of
space, access control and sculptural themes and placement, to
propose how images and texts controlled movement in Classic Maya
cities. Using Palenque as a case study, this book analyzes specific
building groups and sculptures to provide insight into the
hierarchical distribution and use of ritual and administrative
space in temple and palace architecture. Identifying which spaces
were the more accessible and therefore more public, and which
spaces were more segregated and consequently more private, Dr.
Parmington demonstrates how sculptural, iconographic, and
hieroglyphic content varies considerably when found in
public/common or private/elite space. Drawing on specific examples
from the Classic Maya and other early civilizations, he
demonstrates that by examining the intent in the distribution of
architecture and art, the variation and function of the artistic
themes represented in sculpture and other monumental works of art
can be better understood.
