Abstract In this article, I present a material-centered analysis of a Tamil Christian song titled Tiruchabai Tarattu, which was composed in 1813 by Vedanayaka Sastriar. Through this focused case study, I address the question of what is—or what ought to be—the relationship between material and textual analysis in the discipline of religious studies. Rather than positioning material religion as a discrete approach to the study of religion, one that is often contrasted with textual studies, I propose that textual studies finds in material religion an invitation for significant growth since texts are mediated through the material. I am especially interested in sensory experiences and objects, the mainstays of material analysis, as they are found embedded in texts. By focusing on the sensuous and material elements highlighted by the poet, a study otherwise focused within the bounds of textual sources can pivot and expand to include non-textual sources. My assembly, description, and analysis of sources and experiences that span across media in and outside of texts allows me to build what I call a sensory corpus by which we understand the meaning—better, meanings—of South Asian Christianity.
在这篇文章中,我对一首名为Tiruchabai Tarattu的泰米尔基督教歌曲进行了以材料为中心的分析,这首歌由Vedanayaka Sastriar创作于1813年。通过这个集中的案例研究,我提出了一个问题,即在宗教研究学科中,材料分析和文本分析之间的关系是什么,或者应该是什么。与其将物质宗教定位为一种独立的宗教研究方法(通常与文本研究形成对比),我认为文本研究在物质宗教中发现了一种显著增长的邀请,因为文本是通过材料中介的。我对感官体验和物体特别感兴趣,它们是材料分析的支柱,因为它们被发现嵌入文本中。通过关注诗人强调的感官和物质元素,原本专注于文本来源范围内的研究可以转向并扩展到包括非文本来源。我收集、描述和分析了文本内外跨媒体的来源和经验,使我能够建立我所谓的感官语料库,通过它我们更好地理解南亚基督教的意义。

Abstract ‘Atlit Castle chapel was the only polygonal church built in the Holy Land in the thirteenth century. Through a study of the archaeological remains, this article examines for the first time the possibility that the chapel was built following the model of the Holy Sepulchre Frankish choir, as part of a deliberate program to present ‘Atlit Castle as a substitute for a visit to Jerusalem. The unified and complex design of the chapel at ‘Atlit, unlike some of the western copies of the Holy Sepulchre, was founded on a deep personal knowledge of Jerusalem, its landscape and its most important shrines. It is argued that the Templars and their architect employed numerous tools to create a particular image of Jerusalem—at that time in Muslim hands and with only limited access to the Franks—in their newly built castle at ‘Atlit. Meticulously designed to serve a religious community, the architecture conveyed a multi-layered message transparent both to passers-by and to the Templars themselves.
摘要“Atlit Castle小教堂是13世纪在圣地建造的唯一一座多边形教堂。通过对考古遗迹的研究,本文首次探讨了这座小教堂是按照圣墓法兰克唱诗班的模式建造的可能性,这是一项精心策划的计划的一部分,旨在将“阿特利特城堡”作为访问耶路撒冷的替代品。Atlit小教堂的统一而复杂的设计,不同于一些西方的圣墓复制品,是建立在对耶路撒冷、其景观和最重要的圣地的深刻个人知识之上的。有人认为,圣殿骑士团和他们的建筑师使用了许多工具,在他们位于“Atlit”的新建城堡中创造了耶路撒冷的特殊形象——当时在穆斯林手中,只有有限的机会进入法兰克人。该建筑经过精心设计,为宗教社区服务,传达了一种对路人和圣殿骑士本人都透明的多层信息。

Abstract The monastic practice of Lenten retreats in the desert is attested in ancient Palestine by the early fifth century. However, within the large archaeological corpus of desert monasticism, sites that can be positively identified as Lenten hermitages were previously unattested. The hermitage discovered during the recent survey of the Dead Sea Escarpment is situated in a rock shelter in a narrow natural ledge, part of the high cliff towering the western shore of the Dead Sea. The harsh, arid environment and lack of perennial water sources nearby make the site a suitable abode mainly during the spring season. The walls of the shelter are covered by two layers of plaster bearing the remains of two different decorative programs, adorning the cell with red paintings and repetitive round medallions and blind arcades. Both phases of decoration exhibit initial lining, probably in preparation for relatively long texts. The sophisticated decoration of this isolated hermitage, which was not meant to impress visitors but rather to stimulate spiritual work in solitude far from the distractions of the outside world, provides an exceptional opportunity to discuss the interaction between the landscape, the image, and the written word in the ascetic practices of Palestinian monasticism.
在沙漠中进行四旬斋静修的修道院实践在五世纪早期的古巴勒斯坦得到了证实。然而,在沙漠修道主义的大量考古资料中,可以肯定地确定为大斋期修道院的遗址以前是未经证实的。在最近对死海悬崖的调查中发现的隐居处位于一个狭窄的天然岩架上的岩石掩体中,这是死海西岸高耸的高悬崖的一部分。恶劣、干旱的环境和附近缺乏多年生水源使该基地主要在春季成为一个合适的住所。庇护所的墙壁上覆盖着两层石膏,上面有两种不同装饰方案的残余,用红色绘画、重复的圆形奖章和盲拱廊装饰着牢房。这两个阶段的装饰都表现出最初的衬里,可能是为了准备较长的文字。这个与世隔绝的隐居处的精致装饰,不是为了给游客留下深刻印象,而是为了刺激远离外界干扰的孤独精神工作,提供了一个特殊的机会来讨论巴勒斯坦修道主义禁欲实践中景观,图像和书面文字之间的相互作用。

The Sacred Cowshed Tree in Urban Hanoi: A Home for Unredeemed Souls 河内市区的神圣牛棚树:无名灵魂的家园

Abstract The “Cowshed Tree” (Cây đa nhà Bò), located next to a maternity hospital in urban Hanoi, has long been a destination for women and men who offer prayers to ensure a successful birth and to give thanks for a healthy baby. As the nearby hospital also performs abortions, the crown of the huge banyan tree with its aerial roots has come to be regarded by many city residents as a home for unredeemed souls. But the history of the tree and narratives about its existence predate the construction of the hospital in the early 1960s and refer to the arrival of migrants from India in the French colonial period. In this article, I explore how the Cowshed Tree became a location where affective relations between the living and the dead are created and fostered through prayers and offerings, and hence as a site where sensations and material objects mediate between this world and other worlds. Taking the performance of popular religious practices at the Cowshed Tree as an ethnographic example, this essay aims to contribute to ongoing debates on the urban sacred in late socialist Vietnam and on unfortunate deaths and commemoration in times of rapid transformation; it also contributes to recent research on the relationship between humans, trees, and spirits in the urban environment.
摘要“牛棚树”(Câyřa nhàBå)位于河内市一家妇产医院旁,长期以来一直是为确保成功分娩和感谢健康婴儿而祈祷的女性和男性的目的地。由于附近的医院也在进行堕胎手术,这棵有着气生根的巨大榕树的树冠已被许多城市居民视为未经改造的灵魂的家园。但这棵树的历史和关于它存在的叙述早于20世纪60年代初医院的建造,并指的是法国殖民时期来自印度的移民的到来。在这篇文章中,我探讨了牛棚树是如何成为一个通过祈祷和奉献创造和培养生者和死者之间情感关系的地方,从而成为一个感觉和物质在这个世界和其他世界之间进行调解的地方。本文以牛棚树上流行的宗教习俗的表现为人种学的例子,旨在为正在进行的关于社会主义晚期越南城市神圣性以及快速转型时期不幸死亡和纪念的辩论做出贡献;它也有助于最近对城市环境中人类、树木和精神之间关系的研究。

Nothing to Declare… Apart from Holy Water: Sacralizing Borders and Securitizing Spiritual Things in Fiji 除了圣水,没有什么可宣布的:斐济的边界神圣化和精神物品安全化

Abstract This article uses the case study of Fiji’s border restrictions on Holy Water to think about how even the supernational (like spiritual things) remains subject to international border regimes. In this case, we consider how Fiji’s borders have actually been sacralized in order to securitize Holy Water—inhibiting its importation into the country. Holy Water as a spiritual thing plays an important role in spiritual practices across the globe, and certainly within the vibrant religious and political landscape of Fiji. In this article, we explore the border restrictions on Holy Water in Fiji. Exportation of the Miracle/Healing Water from Fiji over the last few years to New Zealand shows that while Fiji is sacralizing its borders to securitize Holy Water, New Zealand remains highly secularized. In this piece, we propose that research focused on the relationship between the circulation of spiritual things and their crossing of international borders is required so we can better understand how secular borders are negotiated by spiritual things and their people.
摘要本文以斐济对圣水的边界限制为例,思考即使是超国家(如精神事物)如何仍然受制于国际边界制度。在这种情况下,我们考虑到斐济的边界实际上是如何被神圣化的,以使圣水安全化——阻止其进口到该国。圣水作为一种精神物质,在全球的精神实践中发挥着重要作用,当然在斐济充满活力的宗教和政治景观中也是如此。在这篇文章中,我们探讨了斐济对圣水的边境限制。过去几年斐济向新西兰出口的奇迹/治疗水表明,尽管斐济正在牺牲其边界以使圣水安全化,但新西兰仍然高度世俗化。在这篇文章中,我们提出,需要研究精神物质的流通与其跨越国际边界之间的关系,这样我们才能更好地理解精神物质及其人民是如何协商世俗边界的。

When the Medium was the Mission: The Atlantic Telegraph and the Religious Origins of Network Culture 当媒介是使命:《大西洋电讯报》与网络文化的宗教渊源

During the global pandemic, the publication of new books proved challenging for authors and readers alike. Many texts missed the wider audience they deserved, and readers lost the opportunity to delve into groundbreaking texts. Jenna SuppMontgomerie’s When the Medium Was the Mission: The Atlantic Telegraph and the Religious Origins of Network Culture was one of these books that, if you missed it in 2021, it is time to circle back. A part of the New York University Press’ excellent North American Religion series, When the Medium was the Mission makes significant contributions to the study of religion and material culture by combining media theory, network and infrastructure studies with religious studies, Supp-Montgomerie offers a game-changing study in four chapters that include a preface, introduction, and epilogue. She reorients the story of the telegraph, US Protestant missions, religion, and the media. The introduction opens with a familiar moment in the history of the United States and the telegraph, Samuel Morse’s successful electric telegram between Washington DC and Baltimore, Maryland, in 1844 and the famous message, “What hath God wrought.” Supp-Montgomerie argues that historians looking for religion often focus on content and practice as “sites of meaning” and by doing so, they overlook the ways technological infrastructure relocates “meaning from content to technology” (167). When the Medium Was the Mission provides a corrective to this approach by “taking infrastructural religion seriously” and, in the process, remakes the history of science and religion (12). Materiality plays a principal role in Supp-Montgomerie’s book. She demonstrates how religion and media are deeply intertwined materially, culturally, and politically. Supp-Montgomerie reminds us that a telegraph cable without an operator is just a line with electricity running in bursts through it (26). Religion, particularly US Protestantism, played a central role in developing network culture through the expansion of the telegraph. Media and religion were co-constitutive. She provides a genealogy of network culture and the hopes and dreams that permeated it. She excavates to the absences and silences of those excluded from these dreams of unity. These network culture imaginaries remain active in the twenty-first-century networks. Four chapters flow from a “global to local” perspective centering on the United States in a larger global context that considers the emerging national context (30). The first chapter introduces many of the storylines that unfold throughout the book. Supp-Montgomerie employs new materialist theory to show the ways US Protestant missions directed the expansion of telegraphy (37). She clearly shows the ways US Protestants utilized the telegraph as a symbol of civilization and technological savvy that missionaries employed to promote white superiority in colonial settings. In the American West, the telegraph was used as a tool of domination over the Nati
在全球大流行期间,出版新书对作者和读者都具有挑战性。许多文本错过了应有的更广泛的读者,读者失去了深入研究开创性文本的机会。珍娜·苏普·蒙哥马利的《当媒介是使命:大西洋电报和网络文化的宗教起源》是这些书中的一本书,如果你在2021年错过了,是时候再来看看了。作为纽约大学出版社优秀的北美宗教系列的一部分,当媒介是使命时,通过将媒体理论,网络和基础设施研究与宗教研究相结合,对宗教和物质文化的研究做出了重大贡献,supp - montgomery提供了一个改变游戏规则的研究,分为四个章节,包括前言,引言和结语。她重新定位了电报、美国新教传教、宗教和媒体的故事。引言以美国和电报历史上一个熟悉的时刻开始,1844年塞缪尔·莫尔斯在华盛顿特区和马里兰州巴尔的摩之间成功地发了一封电报,并发出了著名的信息:“上帝创造了什么?”supp - montgomery认为,寻找宗教的历史学家经常把内容和实践作为“意义的场所”,这样做,他们忽视了技术基础设施将“意义从内容转移到技术”的方式(167)。当媒介是使命时,通过“认真对待基础宗教”对这种方法进行了纠正,并在此过程中重塑了科学和宗教的历史(12)。物质性在苏普·蒙哥马利的书中起着主要作用。她展示了宗教和媒体是如何在物质、文化和政治上紧密交织在一起的。Supp-Montgomerie提醒我们,没有操作员的电报电缆只是一条电流通过的线路(26)。宗教,尤其是美国新教,通过电报的推广,在发展网络文化方面发挥了核心作用。媒体和宗教是共同构成的。她提供了网络文化的谱系,以及渗透其中的希望和梦想。她挖掘那些被排除在这些统一梦想之外的人的缺席和沉默。这些网络文化想象在21世纪的网络中仍然活跃。四章从“从全球到地方”的角度出发,以更大的全球背景下的美国为中心,考虑到新兴的国家背景(30)。第一章介绍了贯穿全书的许多故事情节。supp - montgomery运用新唯物主义理论来展示美国新教使命指导电报扩张的方式(37)。她清楚地展示了美国新教徒如何利用电报作为文明和技术娴熟的象征,传教士在殖民地环境中利用电报来促进白人的优越感。在美国西部,电报被用作控制美洲原住民部落的工具。印第安人与美国政府之间签订的条约和其他协议包括“电报线路的通行权和对建设电报线路所需的自然资源(如木材)的额外权利”(101)。这些例子颠覆了人们对网络的熟悉描述,如“连接的、扩展的、技术的”、“公共的”和“政治中立的”,向我们展示了电报的另一面,即政治的、种族主义的、促进和支持白人至上主义的电报。美国新教基督教使命与科技之间的关系并非偶然。媒体成为了使命的一部分——一个宗教的、殖民主义的、帝国主义的使命。supp - montgomery在本章中展示了沟通如何不仅仅是联系;它是关于断开、破坏、断裂、失败和排斥。脱节是她贯穿全书的主题。第二章和第三章追溯了网络想象的诞生,以及伴随着国内外电报基础设施建设的乐观情绪。全球、国家和社会统一的梦想,以及距离和时间的根本转变,出现在媒体、公开演讲和乌托邦社区中。supp - montgomery探讨了新的电报想象是如何超越了其他电报想象的,比如唯心论的电报。第三章以奥奈达社区和其他乌托邦团体为中心,以及他们如何为电报注入意义物质宗教卷18,第3期,第384-385页©2022 Nicole C.

A part of the New York University Press’ excellent North American Religion series, When the Medium was the Mission makes significant contributions to the study of religion and material culture by combining media theory, network and infrastructure studies with religious studies, Supp-Montgomerie offers a game-changing study in four chapters that include a preface, introduction, and epilogue. She reorients the story of the telegraph, US Protestant missions, religion, and the media. The introduction opens with a familiar moment in the history of the United States and the telegraph, Samuel Morse’s successful electric telegram between Washington DC and Baltimore, Maryland, in 1844 and the famous message, “What hath God wrought.” Supp-Montgomerie argues that historians looking for religion often focus on content and practice as “sites of meaning” and by doing so, they overlook the ways technological infrastructure relocates “meaning from content to technology” (167). When the Medium Was the Mission provides a corrective to this approach by “taking infrastructural religion seriously” and, in the process, remakes the history of science and religion (12). Materiality plays a principal role in Supp-Montgomerie’s book. She demonstrates how religion and media are deeply intertwined materially, culturally, and politically. Supp-Montgomerie reminds us that a telegraph cable without an operator is just a line with electricity running in bursts through it (26). Religion, particularly US Protestantism, played a central role in developing network culture through the expansion of the telegraph. Media and religion were co-constitutive. She provides a genealogy of network culture and the hopes and dreams that permeated it. She excavates to the absences and silences of those excluded from these dreams of unity. These network culture imaginaries remain active in the twenty-first-century networks. Four chapters flow from a “global to local” perspective centering on the United States in a larger global context that considers the emerging national context (30). The first chapter introduces many of the storylines that unfold throughout the book. Supp-Montgomerie employs new materialist theory to show the ways US Protestant missions directed the expansion of telegraphy (37). She clearly shows the ways US Protestants utilized the telegraph as a symbol of civilization and technological savvy that missionaries employed to promote white superiority in colonial settings. In the American West, the telegraph was used as a tool of domination over the Nati","PeriodicalId":18273,"journal":{"name":"Material Religion","volume":"18 1","pages":"387 - 388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44756809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part travelogue, part devotional bricolage, Imaging Pilgrimage: Art as Embodied Experience is a book as distinctive as the artwork it features. Religious art historian Kathryn Barush uses the practice of pilgrimage to bring contemporary artists into dialogue with each other, and with the spiritual explorers who engage their work. Barush’s knack for identifying uniquely resonant works is apparent in the creative case studies she features, each of which reflects on the relationship between artistic representation and the experience of pilgrimage. Richly illustrated and replete with testimonials from artists and pilgrims, Barush’s book argues for the transformative potential of an embodied spirituality and demonstrates the role that art and visual expression play in fostering it. The ambitious scope of the book is one of its strengths; each case study crosses geographical and temporal boundaries, and Barush navigates the crossings with ease. A South African artist who creates shadow boxes and tarot cards featuring Lourdes mementos and a cancer patient who reinterpreted the Camino de Santiago on an island in Puget Sound are just two of the eclectic assortment of artists and pilgrims featured. Barush is also broadly inclusive in terms of artistic genre. Chapter 3 focuses on the use of chant and song by members of the British Pilgrimage Trust as they connect their twenty-first century travels with those of past pilgrims. Chapter 4 features the work of artist Gisela Insuaste and the installations, sculpture,
一部分是游记,一部分是虔诚的拼凑,《想象朝圣:作为化身体验的艺术》是一本与它所展示的艺术品一样独特的书。宗教艺术历史学家Kathryn Barush利用朝圣的实践,让当代艺术家相互对话,并与从事他们工作的精神探索者对话。巴鲁什识别独特共鸣作品的技巧在她所做的创造性案例研究中表现得很明显,每一个案例都反映了艺术表现和朝圣体验之间的关系。巴鲁什的书插图丰富,充满了艺术家和朝圣者的感言,论证了一种具体精神的变革潜力,并展示了艺术和视觉表达在培养它方面所起的作用。这本书雄心勃勃的范围是它的优势之一;每一个案例研究都跨越了地理和时间的界限,Barush轻松驾驭了这些界限。一位南非艺术家创作了以卢尔德纪念品为特色的阴影盒和塔罗牌,一位癌症患者在普吉特湾的一个岛屿上重新诠释了圣地亚哥的卡米诺,这只是艺术家和朝圣者中的两位。巴鲁什在艺术类型方面也具有广泛的包容性。第3章重点介绍了英国朝圣信托基金会成员在将他们21世纪的旅行与过去朝圣者的旅行联系起来时使用的圣歌和歌曲。第四章介绍了艺术家Gisela Insuste的作品和装置、雕塑、,
