Author Biography

S. Brent Plate, Hamilton College

S. Brent Plate is visiting associate professor in Religious Studies at Hamilton College. His teaching and research focus on how ways of seeing affect ways of being religious. What humans look at, the type of images created, and how humans learn to see images, are all shaped by cultural, biological, and religious environments. Investigating "religious visual culture" his work is interdisciplinary, moving between developments in cultural anthropology, art history, film studies, and increasingly cognitive science, alongside his home discipline, religious studies. Book-length publications include, most recently, Religion and Film (Wallflower Press, 2008), The Religion and Film Reader (Routledge, 2007), Blasphemy: Art that Offends (Black Dog Publishing, 2006), Walter Benjamin, Religion, and Aesthetics (Routledge, 2005), Re-Viewing the Passion: Mel Gibson's Film and Its Critics (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004), and Representing Religion in World Cinema (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003). Plate is also Co-Founder and Managing Editor of the journal, Material Religion: The Journal of Objects, Art, and Belief.
