The other prehistory: creation of images in scientific and divulgative literature

Abstract

With this text I pretend to show, in one hand, what represent for our cultural image repertoire the illustrations from prehistory and what kind of implications have, particularly, for contemporary women. In a second place, I would like to analyze briefly, how and from where comes this collection in which representations of Prehistory are immersed. From this point, we can approach to how from research and diffusion we can contribute to the reconstruction of archetypes and to the creation of new interpretative keywords of prehistory, history and gender relations in the contemporary world.
