Goddess on the Frontier pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Dali is a small region on a high plateau in Southeast Asia. Its main deity, Baijie, has assumed several gendered forms throughout the area's history: Buddhist goddess, the mother of Dali's founder, a widowed martyr, and a village divinity. What accounts for so many different incarnations of a local deity?
Goddess on the Frontier argues that Dali's encounters with forces beyond region and nation have influenced the goddess's transformations. Dali sits at the cultural crossroads of Southeast Asia, India, and Tibet; it has been claimed by different countries but is currently part of Yunnan Province in Southwest China. Megan Bryson incorporates historical-textual studies, art history, and ethnography in her book to argue that Baijie provided a regional identity that enabled Dali to position itself geopolitically and historically. In doing so, Bryson provides a case study of how people craft local identities out of disparate cultural elements and how these local identities transform over time in relation to larger historical changes—including the increasing presence of the Chinese state.
Megan Bryson is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Tennessee.
一本jb书。先预设前提的把民族,白民族,汉民族和中国给你定义了,再把柏洁夫人的形象深深印刻在脑海里,然后作者挨个给解构了。不愧是bernard faure的学生,一样的垃圾。
评分非常认真细致的研究,感觉隐晦地回应了新清史的许多看法。同意作者的质疑,即南诏大理国时代以及元明时期大理精英的self-expression到底适不适合放进ethnic的范畴来思考?以及很感兴趣的是大理地区的邪龙形象似乎有从女性到男性的转变,可惜作者没有讨论……
评分作者的人类学和宗教学基础都不错,关键在一个更广阔的层面上来探讨有关问题,眼界和观点就不一样了。前面看过白美安的几篇论文,国产学者的那些东西不得不提,但对没凭据自己扯一套的“创见”不无隐隐的嘲讽。希望她研究大理佛教的书尽快出版。
评分一直拖着,返校以后终于读完。简单来说就是从白姐历史形象流变看大理地方社会和外来势力的互动那种,前面部分比较无聊,因为基本文献就那些,大概都能猜出来会写成什么样,不过到当代做田野的部分,感觉就很亲切了,田野里面天天看大家初一十五拜本主,但大部分老经母真的不知道拜的是谁,“本主老爷”“本主”“神”,没有“religious“也不存在“ethnic”。
