Le Pays des neiges, dont le Ve dalaï-lama fut le premier à exercer les pouvoirs spirituel et temporel, a nourri les rêves les plus fantaisistes des Occidentaux. Ses hautes montagnes ont dissimulé une civilisation d'une richesse inouïe, longtemps demeurée méconnue. Le Tibet des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles a engendré une activité intellectuelle et artistique foisonnante et transformé les institutions politiques, lui conférant un caractère unique qu'il a conservé jusqu'à l'invasion chinoise de 1950. C'est ce Tibet qu'évoque ce guide, un Tibet parfois déroutant, souvent attachant et toujours exceptionnel

Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia… This vast area has experienced significant changes following political and socio-cultural upheavals: the Chinese occupation of Tibet since the 1950's; the opening of Nepal to the world in 1951 and the influx of large numbers of Tibetan refugees into its territory; the end of the communist era and the transition to a market economy in Mongolia, and more generally the confrontation with modernity and globalisation. Revisiting Rituals in a Changing Tibetan World examines the changes rituals have undergone and offers the reader the result of recent research based on both fieldwork and textual studies by researchers who have worked in these countries. Contributors include Hildegard Diemberger, Fabienne Jagou, Thierry Dodin, Fernanda Pirie, Nicola Schneider, Mireille Helffer, Alexander von Rospatt, Marie-Dominique Even, Robert Barnett, Katia Buffetrille

Which places does Tibet include? Are people Tibetan merely because of living in those places? Territory and Identity are notions that are widely present in academic and popular discourses on Tibet. In 1992 a group of French and Austrian researchers who had studied some of the mountain deities and sacred landscapes of Tibet began meeting to discuss the links between territory and identity in Tibetan culture. Eight years later an interdisciplinary group of scholars met in Leiden in Holland to consider these questions in more detail. This book contains some of their findings, based on case studies carried out across the Tibetan and Himalayan regions. The authors look at the role of local deities, kinship, economy, politics and administration using approaches from across the social sciences to try to work out how a community constructs and reconstructs its idea of itself, and how its members think about and are affected by the land on which they were reared.
