Zusammenfassung While the modern world has largely dismissed the figure of the saint as a throwback! we remain fascinated by excess! marginality! transgression! and porous subjectivity - categories that define the saint. This collection examines how modernity returns to the lure of saintly grace! energy! and charisma.
