Narrative Cultures and the Aesthetics of Religion de Dirk Johannsen

Narrative Cultures and the Aesthetics of Religion: Supplements to Method & Theory in the Study of Religion, cartea 14

Editat de Dirk Johannsen, Anja Kirsch, Jens Kreinath
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 ian 2020
Narrative Cultures and the Aesthetics of Religion presents the aesthetics of narrativity in religious contexts by approaching narrative acts as situated modes of engaging with reality, equally shaped by the immersive character of the stories told and the sensory qualities of their performances. Introducing narrative cultures as an integrative framework of analysis, the volume builds a bridge between classical content-based approaches to narrative sources and the aesthetic study of religions as constituted by sensory and mediated practices. Studying stories in conjunction with the role that performative acts of storytelling play in the cultivation of the senses, the contributors explore the efficacy of storytelling formats in narrative cultures from ancient times until today, in regions and cultures across the globe.

Recenzii

“Readers interested in any aspect of religious narrative, embodiment, and performance are sure to find this volume important and thought provoking. By foregrounding sensory and aesthetic experience, the contributors to this volume productively expand the possibilities of thinking about the work of narrative in religious studies. The book should also be praised for the impressive diversity of material covered.”
