CMRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture: "Image and Exposition: Iconography and Doctrine in Medieval East Asian Buddhism"
4:00PM
In Royce 314
Focusing especially on the esoteric traditions of medieval Chinese and Japanese Buddhism, in which images most clearly vie with doctrinal formulations for the attention of both the believer and the scholar, this presentation by CMRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar Robert M. Gimello (Visiting Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University, and Professor Emeritus, East Asian Studies, University of Arizona) will explore— against the background of modern theory, and from a somewhat comparative perspective—Buddhist thought and practice in a period when questions about the relationship between word and image seemed, in one way or another, especially urgent.-- submitted by Brett Landenberger (cmrs@humanities.ucla.edu)
