“…people as possible analogies" is salutary, especially as we, in our capacities as instructors, navigate the tricky terrain of familiarity and foreignness with our students, attempting to help them feel connected to the past without allowing them to overwrite the past with their perceptions of the present (2015, 26;cf. Pagels 1979;Clark 1998;Frank 2000;Brakke 2003;Burrus 2003). While we may not want to ask our students to share their own comparable experiences (see below), by using responsible ethnographic comparanda we can validate the multiplicity of perspectives and imaginaries that might be helpful to analyzing course material, thus subtly sanctioning students' own.…”

Debate about whether the academy functions to indoctrinate students in a liberal agenda frequently presumes a conception of political identity as binary, discrete, or mappable along a single spectrum, and as doxastic, in that it is reducible to one’s professed beliefs. Such an assumption, however, ignores the ways in which power dynamics and hierarchies that exist outside the classroom also operate within it. We propose here that the critical examination of positionality within the classroom, and of how classroom activities can contest, reinforce, and reconfigure such power dynamics, offers an alternative way of conceiving the political. We argue that the methods and literature from the academic study of religion offers a particular contribution to make in such a project.

The editors would like to thank the CRC 933 "Material Text Cultures", financed by the German Research Foundation / Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, for supporting this volume. The generous financial assistance of the CRC 933 enabled two collaborators, Katja Schulz and Christine Neufeld, to spend several months at Heidelberg University as Mercator Fellows in 2015 and 2016. Their work was indispensable for this book project, which had to break new ground in many respects. We would also like to thank Eastern Michigan University for Christine Neufeld's 2018 Summer Research Fellowship supporting her work on this project. Furthermore we express our deepest gratitude to Michael R. Ott for his unstinting generosity, not just as a contributor, but as an important collaborator in this endeavour. We also gratefully acknowledge the efforts of Maria Krümpelmann, Tamara Ludwig and Björn Thesing, who have helped to prepare the manuscript for publication and have entered numerous references into our database. We thank the Editorial Board of the CRC 933 for including the volume in the MTK series and Nicolai Schmitt for diligently typesetting the manuscript.

“…No obstante, si recordamos el proyecto civilizatorio griego, es de esperarse que el tatuaje lo leyeron y lo pasaron a la posteridad como una práctica de barbarie, puesto que proyecta una otredad. De hecho, la palabra "estigma" se origina en la Antigua Grecia para referirse a la marca dejada en la piel de criminales y esclavos (castigo y posesión): "The tattoo is, then, a sign of shame and subjugation, whereby the body is marked by another and also marked as 'other'" (Burrus, 2003).…”

“…En la era paleocristiana del Imperio Romano, los cristianos que eran perseguidos y condenados necesitaban identificarse entre sí a través de símbolos que solo ellos podrían reconocer como comunidad, por lo que no era extraño que se tatuaran cruces, ichthys, peces y demás. Según Burrus (2003), los antiguos cristianos subvirtieron los símbolos de sumisión y se apropiaron de la identidad del esclavo o criminal (de un Cristo crucificado y estigmatizado), y de esta forma lograban traducir la marca humillante de la subyugación política en una inscripción de elección divina. Sin embargo, una vez legalizado el cristianismo, se prohibió esta práctica bajo mandato de Constantino (siglo IV) y luego por los padres de la iglesia, pues veían en el tatuaje resabios de paganismo (Martí, 2012).…”

Reflexiones sobre la historia, legitimación e inserción del tatuaje en el arte contemporáneo

Más que un recorrido cronológico por la historia del tatuaje, nos proponemos descubrir cómo algunos hitos de esta historia, aún en construcción, todavía no muy clara del todo, está llena de contradicciones, de uso del poder, de estatus sociales, políticos y religiosos; pero siempre con un elemento de segregación, exclusión y distinción de individuos y grupos, sea a través de marcas voluntarias y consensuadas, o no. En ocasiones, como veremos, se ha vivido esta práctica según una doble moral o un doble discurso que nos permite problematizar –contrario a lo que el estigma social sostiene– que los tatuajes no son solo un signo de desviación. Posteriormente, terminaremos con una discusión acerca de la inserción del tatuaje dentro del paisaje del arte contemporáneo, a partir de categorías extrapoladas desde el concepto histórico y “oficial” del Arte.
