Book Synopsis The Embodiment of Bhakti by : Karen Pechilis Prentiss
Download or read book The Embodiment of Bhakti written by Karen Pechilis Prentiss and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an interpretive history of bhakti, an influential religious perspective in Hinduism. Prentiss argues that although bhakti is mentioned in every contemporary sourcebook on Indian religions, it still lacks an agreed-upon definition. "Devotion" is found to be the most commonly used synonym. Prentiss seeks a new perspective on this elusive concept. Her analysis of Tamil (south Indian) materials leads her to suggest that bhakti be understood as a doctrine of embodiment. Bhakti, she says, urges people towards active engagement in the worship of God. She proposes that the term "devotion" be replaced by "participation," emphasizing bhakti's call for engagement in worship and the necessity of embodiment to fulfill that obligation.

Book Synopsis Performance at the Urban Periphery by : Cathy Turner
Download or read book Performance at the Urban Periphery written by Cathy Turner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume considers performance in its engagement with expanding Indian cities, with a particular focus on festivals and performances in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The editors ask how performance practices are affected by urbanisation, the effects of such changes on their cultural economy, and the environmental impacts of performance itself. This project also considers how performance responds to its context, and the potential for performance to be critical of the city’s development, and of its own compromises. Bringing together perspectives from the humanities, natural and social sciences, the book takes a multi-faceted analytical view of live performance, connecting contemporary with heritage forms, and human with more-than-human actors. The three sections, themed around heritage, everyday life, and future ecologies, will be of great interest to students and scholars in performance, heritage studies, ecology and art history.
