Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion: Constructive-Reflective Studies

Loriliai Biernacki

听(Oxford University Press)

From the jury:

Loriliai Biernacki makes a fascinating case for the contemporary relevance of Abhinavagupta鈥檚 11th-century Indian philosophy, which she reads closely in conversation with questions and perspectives of New Materialism. By analyzing wonder (camatk膩ra) as rooted in the material rather than in a cognitive faculty,听The Matter of Wonder听is both striking and original in its approach. The links she draws with viruses and AI in particular make this work pertinent and fresh. It is overall a very sophisticated and provocative book.

Congratulations Loriliai!
