In Art Effects Carlos Fausto explores the interplay between
indigenous material culture and ontology in ritual contexts,
interpreting the agency of artifacts and indigenous presences and
addressing major themes in anthropological theory and art history
to study ritual images in the widest sense. Fausto delves into
analyses of the body, aerophones, ritual masks, and anthropomorphic
effigies while making a broad comparison between Amerindian visual
regimes and the Christian imagistic tradition. Drawing on his
extensive fieldwork in Amazonia, Fausto offers a rich tapestry of
inductive theorizing in understanding anthropology's most complex
subjects of analysis, such as praxis and materiality, ontology and
belief, the power of images and mimesis, anthropomorphism and
zoomorphism, and animism and posthumanism. Art Effects also brims
with suggestive, hemispheric comparisons of South American and
North American indigenous masks. In this tantalizing
interdisciplinary work with echoes of Franz Boas, Pierre Clastres,
and Claude Levi-Strauss, among others, Fausto asks: how do objects
and ritual images acquire their efficacy and affect human beings?
