Ex Voto: Image, Organe, Temps

Rate this book
Un filosofo e storico dell'arte s'interroga sul mistero e la singolarità delle pratiche e delle forme degli ex voto, immutate dall'antichità pagana a oggi e comuni alle società più diverse. La loro volgarità di forme anatomiche (mani, piedi, occhi, cuori, seni, genitali), il loro carattere ripetitivo e banale provocano infatti un certo malessere in chi ne ripercorre con lo sguardo le migliaia di esemplari.

Empiezo con lecturas para el TFG, y la verdad es que he encontrado este libro de casualidad porque el profesor me había recomendado otro. Pero que buen hallazgo
El concepto y la materialidad de los exvotos me parece tan interesante, y creo que esta a sido una buena lectura para irme adentrando en ello
Ahora quiero investigar equivalentes a los exvotos cristianos en otras culturas

Un saggio antropologico assolutamente illuminante sulla natura recondita della ritualità atavica e presente dell'ex voto.
