The Minds Eye focuses on the relationships among art theology exegesis and literatureissues long central to the study of medieval art yet ripe for reconsideration Essays by leading scholars from many fields examine the illustration of theological commentaries the use of images to expound or disseminate doctrine the role of images within theological discourse the development of doctrine in response to images and the place of vision and the visual in theological thought At issue are the ways in which theologians responded to the images that we call art and in which images entered into dialogue with theological discourse In what ways could medieval art be construed as argumentative in structure as well as in function Are any of the modes of representation in medieval art analogous to those found in texts In what ways did images function as vehicles not merely vessels of meaning and signification To what extent can exegesis and other genres of theological discourse shed light on the form as well as the content and function of medieval images These are only some of the challenging questions posed by this unprecedented and interdisciplinary collection which provides a historical framework within which to reconsider the relationship between seeing and thinking perception and the imagination in the Middle Ages

This richly illustrated book provides an anthology and summation of the work of one of the worlds leading historians of Chinese painting and calligraphy Wen Fong helped create the field of East Asian art history during a distinguished fivedecade career at Princeton University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art Few if any writers in English have such a broad knowledge of the history and practice of Chinese painting and calligraphy In this collection of some of his most recent essays Fong gives a sweeping tour through the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy as he offers new and revised views on a broad range of important subjectsThe topics addressed include art as history in which each art object preserves a moment in arts own significant history the museum as a place of serious study and education the close historical relationship between calligraphy and painting and their primacy among Chinese fine arts the parallel development of representational painting and sculpture in early painting history the greater significance of brushwork seen abstractly as a means of personal expression by the artist in later painting history the paradigmatic importance of the mastertofollower lineage as a social force in shaping the continuity and directing the subtle changes in Chinese painting history the role of collectors and the critical necessity of authenticated works for establishing an accurate art historyThroughout the book Fong skillfully combines close analysis and detailed contextualization of individual works to reveal how the study of Chinese painting and calligraphy yields deep insights about Chinese culture and history

Find tips, reviews, and features on The Impact of Buddhism on sold for 27.31 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
From the first century when Buddhism entered China the foreign religion shaped Chinese philosophy beliefs and ritual At the same time Buddhism had a profound effect on the material world of the Chinese This wideranging study shows that Buddhism brought with it a vast array of objects big and smallrelics treasured as parts of the body of the Buddha prayer beads and monastic clothingas well as new ideas about what objects could do and how they should be treated Kieschnick argues that even some everyday objects not ordinarily associated with Buddhismbridges tea and the chairon closer inspection turn out to have been intimately tied to Buddhist ideas and practices Long after Buddhism ceased to be a major force in India it continued to influence the development of material culture in China as it does to the present day At first glance this seems surprising Many Buddhist scriptures and thinkers rejected the material world or even denied its existence with great enthusiasm and sophistication Others however from Buddhist philosophers to ordinary devotees embraced objects as a means of expressing religious sentiments and doctrines What was a sad sign of compromise and decline for some was seen as strength and versatility by others Yielding rich insights through its innovative analysis of particular types of objects this briskly written book is the first to systematically examine the ambivalent relationship in the Chinese context between Buddhism and material culture

Discover information, advice, and prices for The Power of Denial Buddhism, priced at 44.23 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Innumerable studies have appeared in recent decades about practically every aspect of womens lives in Western societies The few such works on Buddhism have been quite limited in scope In The Power of Denial Bernard Faure takes an important step toward redressing this situation by boldly asking does Buddhism offer women liberation or limitation Continuing the innovative exploration of sexuality in Buddhism he began in The Red Thread here he moves from his earlier focus on male monastic sexuality to Buddhist conceptions of women and constructions of gender Faure argues that Buddhism is neither as sexist nor as egalitarian as is usually thought Above all he asserts the study of Buddhism through the gender lens leads us to question what we uncritically call Buddhism in the singular Faure challenges the conventional view that the history of women in Buddhism is a linear narrative of progress from oppression to liberation Examining Buddhist discourse on gender in traditions such as that of Japan he shows that patriarchyindeed misogynyhas long been central to Buddhism But women were not always silent passive victims Faure points to the central role not only of nuns and mothers and wives of monks but of female mediums and courtesans whose colorful relations with Buddhist monks he considers in particular Ultimately Faure concludes that while Buddhism is in practice relentlessly misogynist as far as misogynist discourses go it is one of the most flexible and open to contradiction And he suggests unyielding indepth examination can help revitalize Buddhisms deeper more ancient egalitarianism and thus subvert its existing gender hierarchy This groundbreaking book offers a fresh comprehensive understanding of what Buddhism has to say about gender and of what this really says about Buddhism singular or plural
