书写的历史，或者按照标准的说法，是一个上升的过程，向字母表发展，最终达到录音语音的“完整书写”。 《无言写作》挑战了这种正统观念，也挑战了广泛的识字观念以及艺术和文学、历史和地理的主流观点。在询问前哥伦布时期和早期殖民中美洲文化中知识是如何编码和保存的时，作者关注的是不努力代表言语的书写系统。他们的作品揭示了意识形态在读写历史中的共谋性，并为写作史提供了新的见解。
贡献者——包括艺术史学家、人类学家和文学理论家——研究了古代中美洲和安第斯人民通过象形文字、图像和编码系统传达意义的方式，这些系统与他们所服务的意识形态密不可分。然后，我们看到这些系统如何随着欧洲入侵而发生变化，以及独特的殖民地书写系统如何体现征服后的美国意识形态。作者还探讨了这些早期体系在宗教话语中的作用及其与后来的殖民写作的关系。
该书将中美洲和安第斯山脉的见解融入到艺术史、文学理论、符号学和人类学之间的根本交流中，揭示了写作媒介所蕴含的力量。

The history of writing, or so the standard story goes, is an ascending process, evolving toward the alphabet and finally culminating in the "full writing" of recorded speech. Writing without Words challenges this orthodoxy, and with it widespread notions of literacy and dominant views of art and literature, history and geography. Asking how knowledge was encoded and preserved in Pre-Columbian and early colonial Mesoamerican cultures, the authors focus on systems of writing that did not strive to represent speech. Their work reveals the complicity of ideology in the history of literacy, and offers new insight into the history of writing.
The contributors--who include art historians, anthropologists, and literary theorists--examine the ways in which ancient Mesoamerican and Andean peoples conveyed meaning through hieroglyphic, pictorial, and coded systems, systems inseparable from the ideologies they were developed to serve. We see, then, how these systems changed with the European invasion, and how uniquely colonial writing systems came to embody the post-conquest American ideologies. The authors also explore the role of these early systems in religious discourse and their relation to later colonial writing.
Bringing the insights from Mesoamerica and the Andes to bear on a fundamental exchange among art history, literary theory, semiotics, and anthropology, the volume reveals the power contained in the medium of writing.
