Abstract

This book provides an in-depth examination of the Yungdrung Bon religion in light of globalization. In its global dimension, Bon has been attracting a growing number of Westerners, particularly to its Dzogchen teachings and meditation practices. In this expansion, Bon operates in a dynamic context where forces that create changes in the tradition coexist, sometimes in tension and sometimes in tandem, with other forces that aim to preserve it. In tracing the process through which Bon has become a global religion, this monograph narrates the story of the principal figures who initially facilitated this transmission, following their journey from Tibet to India and Nepal. The narrative then moves to explore the dynamics taking place in the transmission and reception of Yungdrung Bon in Western countries, opening up a new viewpoint on the expansion of Tibetan religious traditions into the West and painting a comprehensive picture of the modern history of the Yungdrung Bon religion as narrated by its participants. In so doing, it makes an invaluable contribution to the study of Tibetan traditions in the West as well as to the wider history of religions, social anthropology, psychology, and conversion studies.

Abstract

In Bon Jovi: America's Ultimate Band, Margaret Olson chronicles the history and music of the band from its inception to present day. She closely examines Bon Jovi's musical and social relevance to listeners past and present, exploring the remarkable ways the band has emerged as the expression and product of deep cultural needs and how, within a few years of commercial success, it has made a lasting impact on Generation X, the music business, and American culture. Through opportunities offered by cable television (particularly M

Abstract

"In 2008, an international team of climbers discovered a large collection of Tibetan manuscripts in a cave complex called Mardzong, in Nepal's remote Mustang district. The following year, the entire cache-over five thousand folios from some sixty different works of the Buddhist and Bön religions, some more than seven centuries old-were removed to the safe keeping of a monastery, where they were later examined by experts from different disciplines. This book is the result of their findings. The authors present what they have been able to discover about the content of these manuscripts, their age, the materials with which they were made, the patrons who commissioned them and the scribes and artists who created them. Contributors include: Agnieszka Helman-Ważny, Charles Ramble, Nyima Drandul Gurung, Naljor Tsering, Sarah Skumanov, Emilie Arnaud-Nguyen and Bazhen Zeren"--

Abstract

L’éclat et l’énergie des énoncés inconvenants et paradoxaux tiennent à la façon dont ils attaquent soit la logique ou le bon sens, soit la civilité ou la morale, soit les deux à la fois. Subtils ou agressifs, ils interrogent et relativisent l’aspiration ou la prétention au sérieux dans la pensée. Bien qu’ils n’aient pas été toujours produits au sein de l’institution littéraire, ils apparaissent comme des manifestations particulièrement exemplaires de la créativité langagière, et à ce titre de la poéticité. C’est pourquoi les littéraires en général et les stylisticiens en particulier peuvent les considérer comme d’excellents candidats pour illustrer ce que l’art littéraire ou la fonction poétique « font » à la pensée, et ce que la pensée fait à la forme. La question clé qui sous-tendait ce 4e colloque de l’AIS (Association Internationale de Stylistique), qui a eu lieu à l’automne 2018 à Aix-en-Provence, engageait ainsi deux notions a priori hétérogènes : le paradoxe, notion logique bien balisée, et l’inconvenance, qui relève du jugement de valeur, de nature morale. La problématique comportait également deux aspects à l’articulation délicate : d’abord s’interroger sur les formes et les enjeux du charme de ces énoncés, aux fonctions fort diverses et qui sont inclus soit dans des textes mais détachables, soit dans des phrases sans texte au statut encore plus incertain ; mais, plus intéressant, se demander en quoi ces énoncés pourraient relancer la quête d’une définition de la fonction poétique.
