THE VISUAL SHAPES OF RITUALS AND BELIEFS
Every society and culture that produced visual art has
used it for fixing, memorizing and transmitting its intellectual and
spiritual traditions. This is happening in Christian churches, Hindi
temples, Buddhist monasteries, in decorated caves and in rock art
sites, among literate and non-literate societies alike. Wherever
human beings were present, they may have left behind cult figurines
and statues, engravings and paintings on portable materials such as
stone tablets, wood or bone, leaves and animal skins, images on the
surfaces of rocks or on walls of caves. Whatever survived of this heritage
is recording 50,000 years of human creativity, imagination, memory and
emotions as well as 50,000 years of conceptual experiences.
The relation between art and religion is the topic of a forthcoming
issue of EXPRESSION, colleagues and friends concerned with prehistoric
and tribal art, and those concerned with religious studies, are
cordially invited to propose their papers.
The comparative outlook of the many facets of imagining the invisible
is enriched by the contributions of new documentation, new ideas and
new thinking, considering a site, a culture, a period, a fashion or a
style. Papers may focus on specific cases as well as on general
trends, on the description of the images, on myths and traditions, or
on rituals and religious beliefs as revealed by the images, in both
prehistoric and historic cultures. Submission of papers is welcome,
and their publication would allow your ideas and your discoveries to
reach readers and institutions in over 82 countries.
Enclosed a complimentary copy of EXPRESSION 31 where additional
information is pupplied on how to present a paper to this quarterly
journal.
