This research examines 44 images of Minoan tree cult as depicted in sphragistic jewellery, portable objects and wall paintings from Late Bronze Age Crete, mainland Greece and the Cyclades. The study also compares the Aegean images with evidence for sacred trees in the Middle and Late Bronze Age Levant, Egypt and Cyprus. The purpose of this investigation is the production of new interpretations of Minoan images of tree cult. Each of the chapters of the book looks at both archaeological and iconographic evidence for tree cult. The Aegean material is, in addition, examined more deeply through the lenses of modified Lacanian psychoanalytic modelling, "new" animism, ethnographic analogy, and a Neo-Marxist hermeneutics of suspicion. It is determined that Minoan images of tree cult depict elite figures performing their intimate association with the numinous landscape through the communicative method of envisioned and enacted epiphanic ritual. The tree in such images is a physiomorphic representation of a goddess type known in the wider eastern Mediterranean associated with effective rulership and with the additional qualities of fertility, nurturance, protection, regeneration, order and stability. The representation of this deity by elite human females in ritual performance functioned to enhance their selfrepresentation as divinities and thus legitimise and concretise the position of elites within the hegemonic structure of Neopalatial Crete. These ideological visual messages were circulated to a wider audience through the reproduction and dispersal characteristic of the sphragistic process, resulting in Minoan elites literally stamping their authority on to the Cretan landscape and hence society.

This edited volume is the first work to engage with religious materiality comparatively across the early modern world. It demonstrates how artefacts can provide their own bodies of material evidence about the nature of early modern religious practice and belief - and the nature of religious change - that can test, or even run counter to conventional, text-based narratives. Across twelve chapters this volume offers an unprecedented survey of early modern religious materiality in all its diversity. It brings together scholars of Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic and Buddhist practices from a range of areas of expertise, including history, art history, museum curatorship and social anthropology. At the same time, the volume emphasizes cultural encounter and exchange. In keeping with broader trends in the history of religion, the studies range from the use of objects prescribed by religious authorities to interactions with religious matter in the context of everyday lay beliefs

Que nous disent les textiles, sculptures, parures, masques, amulettes,instruments de musique, encensoirs ou missels de nos musées? Comment percevoiraujourd'hui les usages et la densité de vie dont ces objets, déracinés de leurcontexte d’origine et magnifiés dans des dispositifs muséographiques élaborés,sont porteurs? Passant d’objets cultuels à objets culturels, tous ont pourtanten commun d’avoir participé à un moment de leur histoire à une pratiquerituelle accompagnée de croyances, de gestes, de paroles, de sons, d’odeurs.Toutes ces composantes s’inscrivent dans un ensemble d’actions qui donnentsens aux objets, au sein d’un espace et d’un temps déterminés, dans unesociété particulière.Art & Rite dévoile la beauté et l’étrangeté de ces objets témoins de lacréativité rituelle et artistique de l’homme. Nouant un dialogue entrecultures, ces objets content l’histoire des pratiques rituelles de l’humanité.Mais l’ouvrage interroge aussi la perte de sens qu’engendre leur «embaumement»dans un musée, et observe dès lors un nouveau phénomène de ritualisation ou de«re-sacralisation» des objets à travers leur recontextualisation en milieumuséal.Ce catalogue, coordonné par Caroline Heering et Anne-Marie Vuillemenot,commissaires de l’exposition Art & Rite. Le pouvoir des objets, publie pluslargement aussi le résultat des travaux interdisciplinaires menés dans lecadre du projet: «Enseignement et recherche au coeur du Musée-laboratoire»(Louvain 2020 – UCLouvain).

Kerken, kloosters en andere religieuze gebouwen herbergen samen misschien wel de grootste verzameling kunstvoorwerpen en historische objecten van de Lage Landen. Het gaat om zeer bijzonder erfgoed dat van een rijke historie getuigt en waarin zich meer dan alleen de kerkelijke geschiedenis weerspiegelt. Onder erfgoedbeheerders en liefhebbers in Nederland en Vlaanderen bestaat al enige tijd behoefte aan een gestandaardiseerde trefwoordenlijst van religieuze objecten. Dankzij een grootschalige inventarisatie van dit kunst- en cultuurbezit was het mogelijk om termen en foto's te verzamelen van de meest uiteenlopende objecten. Zo zijn er voorwerpen beschreven die een rol spelen in de liturgie - zoals avondmaalszilver en gewaden - en in het kerkelijk en kloosterlijk leven. Van schilderijen, beelden, glas-in-lood en devotionalia tot minder geloofsgebonden zaken zoals een stovenkar en een zerkenlichter. Ook elementen in de directe omgeving van kerk of klooster, zoals bijzondere graven of een Lourdesgrot, zijn gefotografeerd en beschreven. Dit fraai geïllustreerde lexicon bevat Nederlandse en Vlaamse benamingen van voorwerpen die zich kunnen bevinden in of nabij kloosters en kerken van alle gezindten. Kunsthistoricus dr. Mieke van Zanten standaardiseerde alle termen en formuleerde eenduidige objectbeschrijvingen. De uitgave bevat naast uitleg over kunstenaarstechnieken ruim 900 duidelijke kleurenfoto's van vrijwel alle beschreven objecten.
