Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers a challenge to any simple understanding of the role of images by looking at aspects of the reception of image worship that have only begun to be studied, including the many hesitations that Asian religious traditions expressed about image worship. Written by eminent scholars of anthropology, art history, and religion with interests in different regions (India, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia), this volume takes a fresh look at the many ways in which images were defined and received in Asian religions.

Download or read book The Modern Anthropology of India written by Peter Berger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Modern Anthropology of India is an accessible textbook providing a critical overview of the ethnographic work done in India since 1947. It assesses the history of research in each region and serves as a practical and comprehensive guide to the main themes dealt with by ethnographers. It highlights key analytical concepts and paradigms that came to be of relevance in particular regions in the recent history of research in India, and which possibly gained a pan-Indian or even trans-Indian significance. Structured according to the states of the Indian union, contributors raise several key questions, including: What themes were ethnographers interested in? What are the significant ethnographic contributions? How are peoples, communities and cultural areas represented? How has the ethnographic research in the area developed? Filling a significant gap in the literature, the book is an invaluable resource to students and researchers in the field of Indian anthropology/ethnography, regional anthropology and postcolonial studies. It is also of interest to students of South Asian studies in general as it provides an extensive and critical overview of regionally based ethnographic activity undertaken in India.

Download or read book Animal Sacrifice, Religion and Law in South Asia written by Daniela Berti and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents original research on the controversies surrounding animal sacrifice in South Asia through the lens of court cases. It focuses on the parties involved in these cases: on their discourses, motivations, and contrasting points of view. Through an examination of judicial files, court decisions and newspaper articles, and interviews with protagonists, the book explores how the question of animal sacrifice is dealt with through administrative, legislative, and judicial practice. It outlines how, although animal sacrifice has over the ages been contested by various religious reform movements, the practice has remained widespread at all levels of society, especially in certain regions. It reveals that far from merely being a religious and ritual question, animal sacrifice has become a focus of broader public debate, and it discusses how the controversies highlight the contrast between ‘traditional’ and ‘reformist’ understandings of Hinduism; the conflict between the core legal and moral principles of religious freedom and social progress; and the growing concern with environmental issues and animal rights.

Download or read book Till Kingdom Come written by Lokesh Ohri and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hinduism, as is well known, has taken a multitude of shapes and forms. Some Hindu "little traditions" have remained obscure or understudied to this day due to their regional remoteness. One such offshoot is the influential cult of Mahasu, which has existed since medieval times in a part of the western Himalaya. The deity at the core of the cult takes the form of four primary Mahasus with territorial influence, installed in various far-flung temples. Their geographical center is the village of Hanol, and the larger territory is integrated into the Mahasu politico-religious system by a peripatetic deity with loyal followers across a considerable domain. Mahasu remains influential in the region, its ritual practices having remained quite distinct despite social change. An anthropological survey was conducted in its terrain during British times, but Till Kingdom Come is the first book to offer a detailed framework, a fine-grained history, and an analytically nuanced understanding of one of the rarest branches of Hindu worship.

Download or read book Encounters with the Invisible written by Marie Lecomte-Tilouine and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers spirit possession in the Himalayas and the various ways in which invisible powers are made present. It does so by examining material representations of these powers through artefacts, animals, plants and natural substances, while also focusing on narratives of people’s encounters with the invisible that may help them to reconfigure reality. Through these two approaches, the contributions examine new phenomena associated with the concepts of "possession" and "shamanism", which otherwise tend to lead research into well-worn furrows. The book addresses a range of themes, including the gods of the Western Himalayas, death and ritual dissolution among Hyolmo Buddhists in Nepal, gods and rivers as legal persons in India, and the problem of conversion disorder in Nepal. Rich in ethnography, this book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of anthropology, religion, spiritualism, sociology of religion, Himalayan studies, sociology and South Asia.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Asie du Sud, la possession par des divinités ou des esprits, entendue comme cette présence étrangère à soi en soi, n'a guère été prise en compte dans la réflexion générale s'intéressant à ce type de manifestation. Dans le sous-continent lui-même, son étude s'est focalisée sur les zones géographiques périphériques et concentrée majoritairement sur les « tribus ». De plus, nombre d'interprétations l'ont réduite à une catégorie autonome, perdant de vue qu'il s'agit de l'une de ces interactions parmi tant d'autres, à la croisée des idiosyncrasies et des symboles partagés, par lesquelles les acteurs mettent en forme leur monde. En articulant leur réflexion sur la parole, le corps et le territoire, les quinze auteurs de ce volume ont voulu restituer la multiplicité des significations et la variété de ses liens avec toute une série de pratiques sociales et d'institutions, de discours et d'émotions. La possession, comme trajectoire de vie, perception des espaces propres aux dieux et aux hommes et représentation de la société, y compris dans ses dimensions identitaires et politiques, est à la fois mode de pensée et d'action. Ainsi apparaît-elle, par excellence, comme un « travail de la culture » qui lie intimement perception individuelle, modèle cognitif et société
