A range of meaningful objects—exhibits of human remains or live
people, fetishes, objects in a Catholic Museum, exotic photographs,
commodities, and computers—demonstrate a subordinate modern
consciousness about powerful objects and their ‘life’. The
Spirit of Matter discusses these objects that move people
emotionally but whose existence is often denied by modern wishful
thinking of ‘mind over matter’. It traces this mindset back to
Protestant Christian influences that were secularized in the course
of modern and colonial history.
