作为对艺术史和拉丁美洲研究的重大贡献，《石文化》为印加文化和非西方艺术的解释提供了复杂的新见解。卡罗琳·迪恩专注于巧妙地融入印加建筑的岩石露头，精美的砖石建筑，以及独立的神圣岩石，解释了某些石头如何拥有自己的生命，并在印加历史的发展中发挥了至关重要的作用。通过研究石头的多种用途，她认为印加人将石头建筑理解为一种秩序混乱的自然方式，将未驯服的空间转化为驯化的地方，并声称新的领土。迪恩认为，要理解这些岩石所象征的意义，就需要像印加人那样看待它们：它们可能是有生命的、有知觉的、神圣的。通过仔细分析印加石雕，印加殖民时期的帐户，以及土著安第斯文化的当代民族志和民俗学研究，迪恩重建石雕和印加生活的其他方面，包括帝国扩张，崇拜和农业之间的关系。她还仔细研究了西班牙殖民者以及后来的旅游业和旅游业对印加石的意义。石头文化是一个令人信服的多学科的论点，重新思考我们如何看待和理解印加过去。
A major contribution to both art history and Latin American studies, A Culture of Stone offers sophisticated new insights into Inka culture and the interpretation of non-Western art. Carolyn Dean focuses on rock outcrops masterfully integrated into Inka architecture, exquisitely worked masonry, and freestanding sacred rocks, explaining how certain stones took on lives of their own and played a vital role in the unfolding of Inka history. Examining the multiple uses of stone, she argues that the Inka understood building in stone as a way of ordering the chaos of unordered nature, converting untamed spaces into domesticated places, and laying claim to new territories. Dean contends that understanding what the rocks signified requires seeing them as the Inka saw them: as potentially animate, sentient, and sacred. Through careful analysis of Inka stonework, colonial-period accounts of the Inka, and contemporary ethnographic and folkloric studies of indigenous Andean culture, Dean reconstructs the relationships between stonework and other aspects of Inka life, including imperial expansion, worship, and agriculture. She also scrutinizes meanings imposed on Inka stone by the colonial Spanish and, later, by tourism and the tourist industry. A Culture of Stone is a compelling multidisciplinary argument for rethinking how we see and comprehend the Inka past.
