Fausto delves into analyses of the body, aerophones, ritual masks, and anthropomorphic effigies while making a broad comparison between Native visual regimes and the Christian imagistic tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing on his extensive fieldwork in Amazonia, Fausto offers a rich tapestry of inductive theorizing in understanding anthropology's most complex subjects of analysis, such as praxis and materiality, ontology and belief, the power of images and mimesis, anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, and animism and posthumanism. \u003cem\u003eArt Effects\u003c\/em\u003e also brims with suggestive, hemispheric comparisons of South American and North American Indigenous masks. In this tantalizing interdisciplinary work with echoes of Franz Boas, Pierre Clastres, and Claude L?vi-Strauss, among others, Fausto asks: how do objects and ritual images acquire their efficacy and affect human beings? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Fausto \u003c\/strong\u003eis a professor of anthropology at the National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil\u003cstrong\u003e, \u003c\/strong\u003eand a Global Scholar at Princeton University.
