This book explores how magical images are expected to work with the shamans and spirit mediums who tend and use them in contemporary South Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bali, and elsewhere in Asia. It considers how such things are fabricated, marketed, cared for, disposed of, and sometimes transformed into art-market commodities and museum artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Kendall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520298667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520298668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Laurel Kendall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993485213951,"sku":"9780520298668","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b973a4b-f71b-4020-9ab9-2dc76c473937.jpg?v=1683324596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mediums-and-magical-things-laurel-kendall-9780520298668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
