In Interplay of Things Anthony B. Pinn theorizes religion as a
technology for interrogating human experiences and the boundaries
between people and other things. Rather than considering religion
in terms of institutions, doctrines, and creeds, Pinn shows how
religion exposes the openness and porousness of all things and how
they are always involved in processes of exchange and interplay.
Pinn examines work by Nella Larsen and Richard Wright that
illustrates an openness between things, and he traces how pop art
and readymades point to the multidirectional nature of influence.
He also shows how Ron Athey's and Clifford Owens's performance art
draws out inherent interconnectedness to various cultural codes in
ways that reveal the symbiotic relationship between art and
religion as a technology. Theorizing that antiblack racism and
gender- and class-based hostility constitute efforts to close off
the porous nature of certain bodies, Pinn shows how many artists
have rebelled against these attempts to counter openness. His
analyses offer a means by which to understand the porous,
unbounded, and open nature of humans and things.
