Week FIFTEEN Class Notes: DUE by MIDNIGHT on MONDAY, DECEMBER 4!

Roger Sansi-Roca, “The Hidden Life of Stones”

This week you should post a discussion question that connects Sansi-Roca’s chapter on Candomblé objects to one of our previous class readings. Your question should be one that leads to further discussion, rather than a fact-based or a question that has a single answer. Ideally, your question will help us to better refine or produce further understandings of our class concepts (African diaspora, syncretism/hybridity, altars). Alternately, you can pose a question about the chapter that connects to how we study religion as an outsider, especially to our discussions of how Afro-Atlantic religious objects are displayed in the western art museum.

POST YOUR RESPONSES IN THE CLASS NOTES DOCUMENT! Be sure to include your name with your post so that you can receive credit for completing it.
