Welcome to Res

Res is a journal of anthropology and comparative aesthetics dedicated to the study of the object, in particular cult and belief objects and objects of art. The journal brings together, in an anthropological perspective, contributions by philosophers, art historians, archaeologists, critics, linguists, architects, artists, and others. Its field of inquiry is open to all cultures, regions, and historical periods.

Res also seeks to make available textual and iconographic documents of importance for the history and theory of the arts.

The publication of Res is made possible by a generous donation from the Fanny and Leo Koerner Charitable Trust. We also gratefully acknowledge long-term support from the Pinewood Foundation.
