This book pays particular attention to the transformation of religious symbolism under modernization and the rise of a culture of the printed book. Among the topics addressed are: - ritual repetition and the poetics of ritual performance- magic and the belief in a natural (iconic) language- Protestant literalism and iconoclasm- disenchantment and secularization- Holiness, arbitrariness, and agencyBuilding from the legacy of structuralism while interrogating several key doctrines of that movement, "Semiotics of Religion" both introduces the field to a new generation and charts a course for future research.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
