Abraham Haber, livestock brands, useful, symbolAbstract
This work is based on the proposal of the Argentinian historian Abraham Haber (1924-1986) that cattle brands unconsciously express a mythical background and that they are connected with images from other latitudes and times, and related to rites and symbols of fertility, vitality and sex. Here it is proposed to advance on the question of whether it is possible to establish this symbolic parallel between the brands of cattle (used, in America, since colonial times) and the images of other times and places. At the same time, it is intended to establish what types of uses were given to them outside of the identity function for which they were created.Downloads
