Abstract

This is a volume about the life and power of ritual objects in their religious ritual settings. In this Special Issue, we see a wide range of contributions on material culture and ritual practices across religions. By focusing on the dynamic interrelations between objects, ritual, and belief, it explores how religion happens through symbolic materiality. The ritual objects presented in this volume include: masks worn in the Dogon dance; antique ecclesiastical silver objects carried around in festive processions and shown in shrines in the southern Andes; funerary photographs and films functioning as mnemonic objects for grieving children; a dented rock surface perceived to be the god's footprint in the archaic place of pilgrimage, Gaya (India); a recovered manual of rituals (from Xiapu county) for Mani, the founder of Manichaeism, juxtaposed to a Manichaean painting from southern China; sacred stories and related sacred stones in the Alor-Pantar archipelago, Indonesia; lotus symbolism, indicating immortalizing plants in the mythic traditions of Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia; lavishly illustrated variations of portrayals of Ravana, a Sinhalese god-king-demon; figurines made of cow dung sculptured by rural women in Rajasthan (India); and mythical artifacts called 'Apples of Eden' in a well-known interactive game series.

Abstract

The essays in the volume Consecration Rituals in South Asia address the ritual procedures that accompany the installation of temple images in Shaiva, Vaishnava, Buddhist and Jain contexts, in various traditions and historical periods. Through the performance of complex rites designated with the term pranapratishtha (establishment of, or infusion with, life), man-made sculptures are ritually transformed into (receptacles of) deities. The collection is thematically and methodically broad, with a large number of detailed textual studies, but also with ethnographic contributions that discuss contemporary instances of consecration rituals. Among the overarching themes are issues related to historical continuity and change, as well as transformational moments in such rituals. Contributors are: Marie-Luce Barazer-Billoret, Marzenna Czerniak-Drożdżowicz, Ronald M. Davidson, Shingo Einoo, Marko Geslani, Dominic Goodall, Ellen Gough, István Keul, Elisabeth Raddock, S.A.S Sarma, Anna A. Ślączka, Annette Wilke.

Abstract

This collection of essays offers a comparative perspective on religious materiality across the early modern world. Setting out from the premise that artefacts can provide material evidence of the nature of early modern religious practices and beliefs, the volume tests and challenges conventional narratives of change based on textual sources. Religious Materiality in the Early Modern World brings together scholars of Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic and Buddhist practices from a range of fields, including history, art history, museum curatorship and social anthropology. The result is an unprecedented account of the wealth and diversity of devotional objects and environments, with a strong emphasis on cultural encounters, connections and exchanges.

Abstract

Für religiöse Bildung und Praxis sind Alltagsobjekte und Gebrauchsgegenstände aus profanen und religiösen Zusammenhängen sowie Artefakte, Bilder, Skulpturen, Installationen und Kirchenräume zentral. Die Deutung und Nutzung von Objekten der materiellen Kultur sowie die Identifikation von religiösen Objekten erweist sich jedoch als äußerst komplex. Die Beiträger*innen liefern interdisziplinäre Forschungsperspektiven aus Theologie, Religionswissenschaft und Soziologie und reflektieren die wichtigsten thematischen und methodischen Bezugspunkte der Materialitätsforschung im Kontext religiöser Bildung und Praxis.

Abstract

Entre le XIIe et le XVIe siècle, des enlumineurs, des peintres, des sculpteurs, des orfèvres, des musiciens ..., tous issus d'une région qui ne s'appelle pas encore la Wallonie, ont participé au façonnage d'une culture de rayonnement européen. Les chefs-d'œuvre de Patenier, Blès, Campin, Du Broeucq ou Hugo d'Oignies ... qui proviennent de musées connus ou de collections cachées, dessinent un portrait libre de cette région où se mêlent croyances populaires et récits familiers pour évoquer les différentes manières d'appréhender la vie. A travers plus de 140 œuvres exceptionnelles, Laurent Busine, commissaire de l'exposition, livre une vision singulière, personnelle, d'une Wallonie dont l'image vivante émerge aussi bien des pièces anciennes que des participations contemporaines (Barry François, Godart, Paparella, Streuli, Vergara).

Abstract

The volume is based on an international and interdisciplinary conference which took place at Tübingen, Germany in May 2010 on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Institute of Biblical Archaeology at the University of Tübingen. Jens Kamlah (ed.) brings these conference lectures along with four additional articles on recent archaeological finds related to temple building and temple cult together in one volume. From Aleppo to Ataroth - the volume is dedicated to city temples in the Levant, from the North to the South, from the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age. The storm god of Aleppo on one side and the bull of Ataroth on the other side symbolize its comprehensive approach and its wide geographical and chronological spectrum. From altars to votive vessels - within the various sub-regions of the Levant, several temple complexes and associated cultic paraphernalia have been recently excavated or re-evaluated. The results of these investigations significantly expand and modify our knowledge of temple building and temple cult in the Levant. From Jerusalem to Mount Gerizim - these new insights are of great importance for the research on the temple in Jerusalem and Old Testament research. Together, the articles lead to a better understanding of the complex religious history of the Levant in general and of the Levantine city temples in particular.
