Stag and Stone is a timely and innovative evaluation of the interdisciplinary dialogue between religious studies and archaeology. Investigating the core concepts of materiality, perception, ritual and agency, this volume redefines conceptual categories and argues for the need of 'critical bewilderment' as a unique scholarly practice.

Examines the subtle body - a model of subjectivity found in esoteric, eastern and western religious and philosophical traditions - from a transdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. This book considers this radical form of self as enabling an innovative reconsideration of the dualisms at the heart of western discourse.
