| Итог: | "The fourteen essays create an interdisciplinary conversation about the nature and function of sacred and devotional objects across the globe during the medieval and Early Modern period. The discussion treats Buddhist, Morisco, Morrano, Christian, and South American Indian relics considered from the perspectives of experts in Buddhism, art history, literary analysis, history, philosophy, Spanish Studies, and Celtic Studies. The anthology reveals the surprising commonalty of the significance of sacred objects across the globe while at the same time delineating their varied functions. Among the shared issues considered in the collection are the nature of access to the object (who is allowed to see the object, how, and when), the way relics delineate sacred space, community formation via sacred objects (who is included and who is excluded in the sacred community), and appropriation and reappropriation of sacred and devotional objects (who controls what object, where, and when.)"-- Relics and the life story of the Buddha / John S. Strong -- Word as relic in medieval Daoism / Stephen R. Bokenkamp -- The book as a sacred object in private homes in early or medieval India / Gregory Schopen -- Gone to ground: relics and holy wells in medieval and early modern Ireland / Catherine McKenna -- "Cunningly hidden": invisible and forgotten relics in the Romanesque work of art / Kirk Ambrose -- Julian of Norwich's unmediated vision / Elizabeth Robertson -- The past, present, and future in medieval surveys of Roman relics / C. David Benson -- The reformation of the relic: Lydgate's and Milton's Saint Edmund / Katarzyna Rutkowski -- "The tragedy of the handkerchief": objects sacred and profane in Shakespeare's Othello / Richard C. McCoy -- Moriscos and the sacralization of stories in early modern Spain / Mary Elizabeth Perry -- Sacred cloth and veiled body: Guadalupe's tilma and other relic-textiles / Jeanette Favrot Peterson -- From the devil's herb to Saint Thomas's gift: the Christianization of guariní sacred plants in the Jesuit reductions in Paraguay / Andrés I. Prieto -- The sacred, the secret, and the ethics of historical interpretation: what I learned from the santos of New Mexico / Claire Farago |
