The ex voto—a material donation as a response to a divine miracle of intervention to a private health concern—negotiates the relationship between self-expression and public awareness. Drawing on the example of the (now demolished) Church of Sants Gervasi i Protasi in Barcelona, this text explores the use of the ex voto as a physical artifact that produces a shared narrative. A reflection on the ex voto as a commemorative practice can speak to the past as well as to the present, where contemporary public expressions of health-gratitude or health-awareness go beyond the divine, the shrine and their adjacencies.

生动的前投票：神圣的治疗、公开性和自我健康表达

前投票权——物质捐赠作为对干预私人健康问题的神圣奇迹的回应——协商了自我表达和公众意识之间的关系。本文以巴塞罗那（现已拆除）的 Sants Gervasi i Protasi 教堂为例，探讨了将ex voto用作产生共享叙事的物理人工制品的用途。将ex voto作为一种纪念活动进行反思，既可以反映过去也可以反映现在，当代公众对健康感恩或健康意识的表达超越了神、圣地及其邻接。
