- Vol. 1, Book 1 - Genealogical Patterns: Form & Meaning
The first book of this three-volume, twelve-book series. Genealogical Patterns: Form & Meaning introduces the work of anthropologist Carl Schuster and his comparative method, as edited and written by Edmund Carpenter. This first book looks into the arts of women, primarily weaving, as passed down from mother to daughter from the Paleolithic period to modern times, and examines the embedded iconographies of pattern-making through Schuster’s comparative method. The book outlines the premise of seeing decorative patterns in their multiple forms as descriptions of tribal genealogy. Includes a preface, general introduction and biographies of Schuster by Carpenter, and by art historian Schuyler Camman.
