If these interrelationships are treated in non-representational terms, then materiality emerges as central to these relationships and crucial for an understanding of affect. Meanwhile, I suggest below that the role of ritual has been overstated.Thus the chapter thinks art and architecture in relation to affect through its materiality and not in representational terms.

Its subject is rich and wonderful: urban representations produced in Spain and Spanish America (though not the Spanish-ruled regions of Italy) between 1493 and 1793. The early modern Hispanic world generated a dazzling array of representations of cities, ranging from Anton van der Wyngaerde's nervous watercolors erupting with architectural detail to stolid, deliberate drawings that adorn New Castile with the features of the Holy Land, from ceramic models of Mayan houses to El Greco's hallucinatory portraits of Toledo. The plethora of terms used in this period to refer to maps and representations of citiesprospect, bird's-eye view, veduta, ichnographic view (in orthagonal perspective), "plataforma," "portrait," "description," iconographia, disegno, and "pianta"-reveals the richness of purposes and points of view. The scope of this book is immense, embracing both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, synthesizing an impressive mass of disparate secondary source material, attempting to fill in artists' biographies and urban his
