Abstract

Le Tibet a de tous temps fait rêver les Occidentaux. la frustration, née de la fermeture du pays des neiges à la curiosité étrangère, a engendré une quantité de clichés qui circulent encore de nos jours à propos de cette région : vallées himalayennes inaccessibles dont les habitants respirent le bonheur de vivre, moines et mystiques dotés de pouvoirs surnaturels, dépositaires d'une sagesse oubliée des Occidentaux, farouche Yéti plus régulièrement évoqué dans les revues que vraiment aperçu. Tous ces clichés ont largement contribué à forger l'image d'un pays où le merveilleux côtoie le quotidien. Maintenant que le Tibet est ouvert au tourisme, de nombreux voyageurs peuvent découvrir par eux-mêmes la réalité du pays au-delà des clichés. Ils doivent s'apprêter à faire davantage un voyage dans le temps que dans l'espace, ce qui demande un plus grand effort de préparation que pour une destination plus classique. Ce livre propose des exposés d'introduction à la géographie très particulière du Tibet et à son extraordinaire civilisation, ainsi que des descriptions de sites disséminés sur toute l'aire culturelle tibétaine. D'une façon générale, et plus spécialement sur le plan pratique, cet ouvrage a été conçu dans le but de permettre l'autonomie de ses utilisateurs. Il devrait pouvoir servir aussi bien le voyageur qui part avec un groupe guidé, que le voyageur individuel ou le curieux qui souhaite s'informer sur le Tibet sans aborder directement des ouvrages spécialisés.

Abstract

The papers in this volume all result from field work in the Indian Himalayas and the TAR conducted by the Interdisciplinary Research Unit, Austrian Science Fund. While the research goals were established within the framework of transdisciplinary research, each scholar approaches scientific problems according to the methodologies associated with their respective disciplines: philology, philosophy, history, art history, linguistics, and anthropology. In the contribution published here, Steinkellner, Klimburg-Salter, Widorn, and Jahoda explicate the structure, methods, and advantages of transdisciplinary research. Lasic and Tauscher analyse two different philosophical questions on the basis of manuscripts from Tabo (Spiti) and Gondhla (Lahaul). Pasang Wangdu, Tropper and Ponweiser each examine a Buddhist monument from a different perspective: Keru (TAR), Wanla (Ladakh), and Tabo. Papa-Kalantari and Hein discuss respectively an iconographic problem and oral traditions from Spiti and upper Kinnaur.

Abstract

The study of the rise and institutions of the Tibetan empire of the seventh to ninth centuries, and of the continuing development of Tibetan civilization during the obscure period that followed, have aroused growing interest among scholars of Inner Asia in recent decades. The six contributions presented here represent refinements in substance and method characterizing current work in this area. A chapter by Brandon Dotson provides a new perspective on law and divination under the empire, while the post-imperial international relations of the Tsong kha kingdom are analyzed by Bianca Horlemann. In “The History of the Cycle of Birth and Death”, Yoshiro Imaeda’s investigation of a Dunhuang narrative appears in a revised edition, in English for the first time. The problem of oral transmission in relation to the Tibetan Dunhuang texts is then taken up in the contribution of Sam van Schaik. In the final section, Matthew Kapstein and Carmen Meinert consider aspects of Chinese Buddhism in their relation to religious developments in Tibet.

Abstract

Tsering Woeser and Wang Lixiong are widely regarded as the most eloquent, insightful writers on contemporary Tibet. Their reportage on the economic exploitation, environmental degradation, cultural destruction and political subjugation that plague the increasingly Han Chinese-dominated Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is as powerful as it is profound, ardent and analytical in equal measure, and not in the least bit ideological. Voices from Tibet is a collection of essays and reportage in translation that captures the many facets of an unprecedented sea change wreaked by a rising China upon a scar
