The Anthropology of Art.
Constructed as a theory of agency or of the mediation of agency by indexes understood/conveyed through material entities which motivate/create inferences, responses and interpretations.
For Gell, art is not 'axiomatic' about a 'matter of meaning communication' but rather it is about doing that is theorized as agency in a process involving indexes and effects. Art, its actions and their effects are similarly not discrete expressions of individual will, but rather the outcomes of a mediated practice in which agents and recipients are all implicated in complex 'participations, ways of relations and their diffractions.
Artists/Prototypes/Things/Recipients/Affect/Generative Relations.
Practical Experience/Cognitive Knowledge/Analysis.
Art and its complex participation/phenomena is distributed by an agent with other agents, the artist attempts to distribute elements of their own efficacy amongst others.
Artists are those who are considered to be immediately causally responsible for the existence and characteristics of indexes, artists/a person both distributed and implicated may also be vehicles of the agency of others.
