Specific case studies, emphasizing the ancient Near East but including treatments also of the European Middle Ages and ancient Greece, elucidate the nature and implications of this intersection: What is the relationship between the divine and the particular matter or physical form in which it is materially represented or mentally visualized? How do sacral or divine "things" act, and what is the source and nature of their agency? How might we productively define and think about anthropomorphism in relation to the divine? What is the relationship between the mental and the material image, and between the categories of object and image, image and likeness, and likeness and representation? Drawing on a broad range of written and pictorial sources, this volume is a novel contribution to the contemporary discourse on the functioning and communicative potential of the material and materialized divine as it is developing in the fields of anthropology, art history, and the history and cognitive science of religion. 410 0$aStudies in ancient Near Eastern records ;$vVolume 8. 606 $aReligion and culture 606 $aMaterialism$xReligious aspects 615 0$aReligion and culture. 615 0$aMaterialism$xReligious aspects. 676 $a202/.117 702 $aPongratz-Leisten$b Beate 702 $aSonik$b Karen 702 $aBenzel$b Kim 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996234837103316 996 $aThe materiality of divine agency$92420832 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04686nam 2200745 a 450 001 9910971060103321 005 20251017110024.0 010 $a9786613278807 010 $a9780309216692 010 $a0309216699 010 $a9781283278805 010 $a1283278804 010 $a9780309216678 010 $a0309216672 035 $a(CKB)2550000000053472 035 $a(EBL)3378886 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000643480 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11384111 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000643480 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10653667 035 $a(PQKB)10994394 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3378886 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3378886 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10500220 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL327880 035 $a(OCoLC)923284541 035 $a(Perlego)4738152 035 $a(DNLM)1581881 035 $a(BIP)36114822 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000053472 100 $a20111104d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBuilding the 21st century $eU.S.-China cooperation on science, technology, and innovation : summary of a symposium /$fNational Research Council of the National Academies 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cNational Academies Press$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (224 p.) 300 $a"Charles W.

One means of facilitating such growth and improving national competitiveness is to improve the operation of the national innovation system. This involves national technology development and innovation programs designed to support research on new technologies, enhance the commercial return on national research, and facilitate the production of globally competitive products. Understanding the policies that other nations are pursuing to become more innovative and to what effect is essential to understanding how the nature and terms of economic competition are shifting. Building the 21st Century U.S.-China Cooperation on Science, Technology, and Innovation studies selected foreign innovation programs and comparing them with major U.S. programs. This analysis of Comparative Innovation Policy includes a review of the goals, concept, structure, operation, funding levels, and evaluation of foreign programs designed to advance the innovation capacity of national economies and enhance their international competitiveness. This analysis focuses on key areas of future growth, such as renewable energy, among others, to generate case-specific recommendations where appropriate. 606 $aInternational cooperation$vCongresses 606 $aTechnological innovations$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aTechnological innovations$zChina$vCongresses 615 0$aInternational cooperation 615 0$aTechnological innovations 615 0$aTechnological innovations 676 $a327.73051 701 $aWessner$b Charles W$0857991 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Comparative National Innovation Policy: Best Practice for the 21st Century. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPolicy and Global Affairs. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971060103321 996 $aBuilding the 21st century$94359016 997 $aUNINA
