Interplay of Things

Viac o knihe

The book theorizes religion as a technology that interrogates human experiences and the interplay between people and objects. Pinn shifts the focus from traditional views of religion to its role in revealing the interconnectedness of all things. He analyzes works by Nella Larsen and Richard Wright, highlighting how art and performance by Ron Athey and Clifford Owens illustrate cultural exchanges. Addressing themes of antiblack racism and societal hostility, Pinn explores how artists challenge boundaries, advocating for a recognition of the open, porous nature of existence.
