In doing so, it covers more than two and a half millennia and a broad geographical area, documenting a practice found in nearly every corner of the world. Its transcultural approach aims at gaining insights into cultural dynamics and consistent networks and defining new historical mindmaps; it examines reciprocal effects and aspects of interwovenness in art and architecture with a view to reconceptualizing their established realms. The collection opens a window on a phenomenon in the history of art and architecture that has never before been considered from this perspective. The book focuses on a transcultural iconography of aerial spirits, goddesses and gods in art history, pursuing a methodologically innovative approach in order to redefine and develop the practice of identification and classification of motifs as a means to understanding meaning, and attempting to challenge the categories defined by academic disciplines. 000724596 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 3, 2015). 000724596 650_0 $$aChristian art and symbolism. 000724596 650_0 $$aGods in art. 000724596 7001_ $$aGutschow, Niels,$$eeditor. 000724596 7001_ $$aWeiler, Katharina,$$eeditor. 000724596 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tSpirits in transcultural skies.$$dCham : Springer, c2015$$z9783319116310$$w(DLC) 2014956659$$w(OCoLC)898460660 000724596 830_0 $$aTranscultural research-- Heidelberg studies on Asia and Europe in a global context. 000724596 852__ $$bebk 000724596 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-11632-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000724596 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:724596$$pGLOBAL_SET 000724596 980__ $$aEBOOK 000724596 980__ $$aBIB 000724596 982__ $$aEbook 000724596 983__ $$aOnline 000724596 994__ $$a92$$bISE
