ABSTRACT
Chapter 8 considers the transformation of Niyousha-Christina (in Chapter 6) and the vesting process (from Chapter 7) in order to consider how we should understand what the human person is – in terms of its properties and affordances as a material entity – and what this means in terms of the Orthodox Christian relation to material culture. It advances an argument concerning the permeable and processual nature of the human being, and frames this within critical theory of the self and material culture.
