Orthodox Christian Material Culture

Orthodox Christian Material Culture

By Timothy Carroll

0 - Default Title
Description
Drawing from and building upon Gell's work, Carroll comprehensively explores the uses and purposes of material culture in Eastern Orthodox Christian worship. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a small Antiochian Orthodox Parish in London, Carroll focusses on a study of ecclesiastical fabric but places this within the wider context of Orthodox material ecology in Britain. This ethnographic exploration leads to discussion on the role of materials in the construction of religious identity, material understandings of religion, and pathways of pilgrimatic engagement and religious movement across Europe.
