Abstract

Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, whose angles correspond to the sites of three ancient kingdoms, may be likened to the floor of an ocean of history that is mantled with successive layers of sculpted, inscribed stonework. This is a holy place and comprises such evocative names as Abhayagiri Vihara, Dambulla, Jetavana, Kandy, Polonnaruva and Sigiriya. Teams of archaeologists have been engaged here since 1980 on a vast project to uncover the spiritual footmarks of countless generations at this busy historical crossover between East and West. --

Abstract

"This book provides both an erudite and intimate look at how Buddhism is lived in Sri Lanka. While India is known as the birthplace of Buddhism, Sri Lanka is its other home; Buddhism extends back over twenty-five hundred years on the island and remains at the center of its spiritual traditions and culture. Throughout the book, author Swarna Wickremeratne incorporates a personal view, sharing stories of herself, her family, friends, and acquaintances as they "lived Buddhism" both during her Sri Lankan girlhood and during more recent times."--Jacket

Abstract

Over the past few decades a series of Catholic shrines have sprung up in Sri Lanka which draw hundreds of pilgrims. Although best known as centres for the exorcism of the demonically possessed, their miraculous efficacy also extends to helping people find jobs and preferment, and to alleviating suffering. Dr Stirrat, who has worked in Sri Lanka over a long period, is interested both in how people behave at the shrines, and in the historical and social contexts in which the shrines have appeared. He argues that an understanding of their religious importance is intricately connected with power, religious and political. This view challenges the conventional distinction between 'religion' and 'politics', and accordingly, religious suffering is seen as a complex metaphor linking together various social domains and a means through which conflicts over power and authority can be expressed.

Abstract

Amma est le 7ème et dernier volet du projet au long-cours de Vasantha Yogananthan, A Myth of Two Souls, qui propose une relecture contemporaine du Ramayana. S’inspirant de l’iconographie générée par le mythe et sa prégnance dans la société indienne, Vasantha Yogananthan a retracé l’itinéraire emprunté par les héros de l’épopée du nord au sud de l’Inde. Amma est centré sur la princesse Sita et traite du concept de “pureté”. Loin d’être une fin heureuse, la fin du Ramayana nous oblige à remettre en question le comportement de Rama et son obéissance aux règles établies par une société patriarcale. En revanche, les croyances et les actions de Sita sont libres de toute culture. Sita signifie sillon en sanskrit, elle est la fille de la Terre. Les images qui composent Amma nous emmènent du littoral du Sri Lanka à la ville d’Ayodhya en passant par la jungle du Bihar, en Inde. Leur gamme chromatique recrée un monde où la civilisation disparaît progressivement pour laisser place à un espace purement métaphysique. Le Ramayana n’a ni fin ni commencement. Il représente le cercle de la vie et sera donc toujours là.
