Religious Statues and Personhood: Testing the Role of Materiality
Whitehead, Dr. Amy R. (Oxford Brookes University, UK)
Marc Notes: Bringing two distinct cultures and religions into tension, animism and 'the fetish' are used as ways in which to think about how humans interact with religious statues in Western Europe and beyond. Both theoretical and descriptive, the book illustrates how religions and cultural practices can be re-examined as performances that necessarily involve not only human persons, but also objects.
