Nalanda, Srivijaya and Beyond: Re-exploring Buddhist Art in Asia - Thryft

Uncovering the hidden stories of Buddhist art.

This book would be a good read for those interested in delving deeper into the history and cultural significance of Buddhist art in Asia. Through a collection of essays and archaeological data, it offers fresh perspectives on the process of localization and the interplay between intellectual, cultural, aesthetic, and economic exchanges. From ancient monastic centers to temples, this book uncovers the hidden stories behind the text-image-inscription correlation, revealing the diverse patterns of Buddhist practice and artistic expressions across Asia.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Recent studies of intra-Asian trade and Buddhist networks have brought fresh perspectives to the understanding of the pre-modern interaction between South and Southeast Asia. Through centuries of selective adaptation and localization of intellectual, cultural, aesthetic, and economic exchanges Buddhist art in Asia has continued to thrive. Fresh research and archaeological data help locate centres of exchange which catalysed the process of localization. This collection of essays, based on a conference held in conjunction with On the Nalanda Buddhism in India, China and Southeast Asia, an exhibition organized by the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore, is a re-exploration of Buddhist art, archaeology, and epigraphy. Focussing on ancient monastic centres and temples such as Nalanda, Mainamati, Kizil, Kedah, Dulesi, and Longxingsi Dabeige, papers in this volume offer newer perspectives on aspects of text-image-inscription correlation. This volume is an attempt at interdisciplinary study of cross-cultural trails that lead to localized Buddhist practice patterns and artistic diversities.
