Lord Hastings's journal of his travels from Calcutta to the Punjab in 1814-1815, records the events and views of this journey accompanied by 200 large watercolour illustrations by Sita Ram. This book includes an edited version of the journal charting his passage through the India of the early nineteenth century. Though Sita Rams picturesque paintings were a sharp departure from the accurate Company views of Indian monuments, they nonetheless revealed his eye for architectural detail. Taking the readers along as part of Lord Hastings's party, J.P. Losty brings alive the seventeen-month long expedition in a flotilla of 220 boats from Barrackpore past Patna, Benares, Allahabad and Cawnpore, and then overland to Lucknow, Delhi and the Punjab, through Sita Rams never-before-published paintings of Colonial India.

Throughout Indian history, many authors and performers have produced, and many patrons have supported, diverse tellings of the story of the exiled prince Rama, who rescues his abducted wife by battling the demon king who has imprisoned her. The contributors to this volume focus on these "many" Ramayanas. While most scholars continue to rely on Valmiki's Sanskrit Ramayana as the authoritative version of the tale, the contributors to this volume do not. Their essays demonstrate the multivocal nature of the Ramayana by highlighting its variations according to historical period, political context, regional literary tradition, religious affiliation, intended audience, and genre. Socially marginal groups in Indian society--Telugu women, for example, or Untouchables from Madhya Pradesh--have recast the Rama story to reflect their own views of the world, while in other hands the epic has become the basis for teachings about spiritual liberation or the demand for political separatism. Historians of religion, scholars of South Asia, folklorists, cultural anthropologists--all will find here refreshing perspectives on this tale.

Religiöse Orte werden erst durch diskursive Strategien als solche konstruiert und wahrgenommen. Auf der Grundlage jüngerer Theorien zu mehrfach gemeinsam genutzten religiösen Orten zeigt sich, dass historisch kontingente Orte mehrdeutige Räume sein können: Am Kloster Sveti Naum überlappen sich interreligiöse Aushandlungen mit Tourismus, Wirtschaft und Politik. Anhand empirisch-qualitativer Daten ihrer einjährigen Feldforschung zeigt Evelyn Reuter Kontinuitäten und Brüche im Wandel dieses Klosters auf und kontextualisiert sie in der regionalen Religionsgeschichte bis zur Gegenwart postsozialistischer Transformationsprozesse.
