Abstract

Abstract A box has the potential to be opened and closed and to contain something; as such, it is a form uniquely suited to conveying ideas of concealment, revelation, and the containment of the sacred in matter. This was especially true of a small, fifth-century ivory box in the form of a casket, carved in relief with scenes of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. As an object, it incorporated kinaesthetic analogies—through the way it was moved and manipulated and through the agency of its material—in order to convey the mystery of the Incarnation.

包含不包含:动觉类比与早期基督教盒子

摘要一个盒子有可能被打开和关闭，并包含一些东西；因此，它是一种独特的形式，适合于传达隐藏、揭示和包容物质中神圣的思想。尤其是一个五世纪的棺材形式的小象牙盒，上面浮雕着基督的激情、死亡和复活的场景。作为一个物体，它通过其被移动和操纵的方式以及其材料的代理，结合了动觉类比，以传达化身的神秘性。
