Common across historical periods, religions, and cultures, they are presented as tokens of gratitude for prayers answered, as well as the physical manifestation of hopes and anxieties. Agents of Faith explores votive offerings in the context of material culture, art history, and religious studies to better understand their history and present-day importance. By looking at what humans have chosen to offer in their votive transactions, this volume uncovers their most intimate moments in life and questions the nature, role, and function of one of the most fundamental aspects of the relationship between people and things--the imbuing of objects with sentiment. Encompassing exquisite works of art as well as votives of humble origin and material, with objects dating from 2000 B.C. to the twenty-first century, the beautiful illustrations and wide-ranging text expose the global reach of votive practices and the profoundly personal nature behind their creation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "Published in conjunction with the exhibition Agents of Faith: Votive Giving in Time and Place, held at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery from September 14, 2018 through January 6, 2019." 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 2 $a Place, shrine, miracle / Jas Elsner -- Clever devices and cognitive artifacts / Verity Platt. 650 0 $a Votive offerings $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Material culture $x Psychological aspects $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Material culture $x Social aspects $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a ART / Criticism & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Social History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Material culture $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941283 650 7 $a Votive offerings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169283 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 700 1 $a Weinryb, Ittai, $e editor. 700 1 $a Bercht, Fatima, $e contributor. 710 2 $a Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture, $e host institution. $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217030245.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=22A85FBE2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
