The Embodied Eye by David Morgan
Offers an integrated theory of the study of religion as visual culture. Providing key tools for scholars across disciplines studying the materiality of religions, this title gives an overview including case studies of the ways seeing is related to touching, hearing, feeling, and such ephemeral experiences as dreams, imagination, and visions.
"This rewarding book will provoke thought and re-vision.. Highly recommended." Choice "Excellent analysis of the social dynamics of the visual field." -- Monique Scheer, Universitat Tubingen Journal Of Religion In Europe "Morgan's clever and penetrating academic analysis of case studies provides his text with profundity and interest." -- Jeremy W. H. Arnold Religious Studies Review "A first-rate work of scholarship... Anyone piqued by these subjects will find David Morgan's pioneering vision deeply satisfying." Image
