Fausto delves into analyses of the body, aerophones, ritual masks, and anthropomorphic effigies while making a broad comparison between Amerindian visual regimes and the Christian imagistic tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on his extensive fieldwork in Amazonia, Fausto offers a rich tapestry of inductive theorizing in understanding anthropology's most complex subjects of analysis, such as praxis and materiality, ontology and belief, the power of images and mimesis, anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, and animism and posthumanism. \u003ci\u003eArt Effects\u003c\/i\u003e also brims with suggestive, hemispheric comparisons of South American and North American indigenous masks. In this tantalizing interdisciplinary work with echoes of Franz Boas, Pierre Clastres, and Claude L騅i-Strauss, among others, Fausto asks: how do objects and ritual images acquire their efficacy and affect human beings? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlos Fausto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496220447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496220448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Carlos Fausto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941087478015,"sku":"9781496220448","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ab590f6a-8573-4a32-9d21-24acac62fe66.jpg?v=1681450834","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-effects-carlos-fausto-9781496220448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
