- Additional information
- This is a co-edited volume comprising 12 full-length chapters based on in-depth original research, totalling 255 pages. It brings together 14 scholars from a range of fields, including history, art history, museum curatorship and social anthropology to compare how different faith communities (Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Buddhist) interacted with the Early Modern material world. The volume represents complex comparative and highly interdisciplinary research spanning five years to investigate religious materiality in great depth, integrating and comparing the findings of the contributions across a variety of global and faith contexts over four centuries from different disciplinary perspectives. Ivanic is one of the three editors of this volume and has co-written the introduction (31 pages, S. Ivanic, M. Laven, A. Morrall). The book is organized in three sections, each curated by one of the three co-editors. Ivanic has curated section 3, “Transformation” (pp. 177-247, totalling 70 pages, about 30% of the volume). In this section she has also single-authored one chapter “Religious materiality in the Kunstkammer of Rudolf II”, pp. 177-192 (15 pages). This chapter examines late sixteenth-century objects from Rudolf II’s Kunstkammer, exploring interactions between religion and the natural world and seeing how natural objects were re-used in liturgical practices at the Habsburg court.
