Stag and Stone - Religion, Archaeology and Esoteric Aesthetics (Hardcover)

Stag and Stone is a timely and innovative evaluation of the interdisciplinary dialogue between religious studies and archaeology. Investigating the core concepts of materiality, perception, ritual and agency, this volume redefines conceptual categories and argues for the need of 'critical bewilderment' as a unique scholarly practice. This study brings together recent developments in religious aesthetics, theoretical archaeology and cultural studies. Taking as its focus 'troublesome' objects and places-those deemed ambiguous in purpose and meaning-the case studies presented here contribute new knowledge to a range of areas, including the ontology of matter, agency of images, animal-human studies, and early medieval norse and insular material culture. Stag and Stone offers useful insights to upper level undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the areas of heritage and cultural studies, theoretical archaeology, animal studies, religious studies and art history.
