Temples dedicated to Confucius are found throughout China and across East Asia, dating back over two thousand years. These sacred and magnificent sanctuaries hold deep cultural and political significance.This book brings together studies from Chin-shing Huang’s decades-long research into Confucius temples that individually and collectively consider Confucianism as religion. Huang uses the Confucius temple to explore Confucianism both as one of China’s “three religions” (with Buddhism and Daoism) and as a cultural phenomenon, from the early imperial era through the present day. He argues for viewing Confucius temples as the holy ground of Confucianism, symbolic sites of sacred space that represent a point of convergence between political and cultural power. Their complex histories shed light on the religious nature and character of Confucianism and its status as official religion in imperial China. Huang examines topics such as the political and intellectual elements of Confucian enshrinement, how Confucius temples were brought into the imperial ritual system from the Tang dynasty onward, and why modern Chinese largely do not think of Confucianism as a religion.A nuanced analysis of the question of Confucianism as religion, Confucianism and Sacred Space offers keen insights into Confucius temples and their significance in the intertwined intellectual, political, social, and religious histories of imperial China.

Entre les années 1979 et 1989, plusieurs fouilles furent conduites au coeur du vieux Fréjus, aux abords immédiats de la cathédrale et même à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Sur des parcelles parfois difficiles d'accès, les résultats obtenus sont souvent complexes mais ont permis, pour la première fois, de mettre en évidence quelques portions de l'agglomération coloniale de Forum Iulii, d'abord établie dans ce secteur sud-est de la ville selon un schéma urbain original (réseau A). La relation que cette occupation primitive entretient avec le reste de la ville, organisée dans des directions différentes (réseau B), est riche d'enseignements. De ces recherches découlent les découvertes, entre autres, du forum de la ville mais aussi d'une portion du cardo maximus et d'un secteur monumental sous l'emprise de la cathédrale. Il faut également souligner la mise au jour, sous la place formigé, d'une domus dont les murs conservent leurs peintures sur près de 2 m de hauteur, ce qui représente un site remarquable pour la Gaule. Cet ouvrage, qui voit le jour après de longues années de recherhce et de réflexion, constitue la publication scientifique de ces différents chantiers de fouilles. Il tente de présenter ces acquis de façon pratique en livrant des monographies aussi exhaustives que possible pour chacun de ces sites, avec en particulier l'étude des différents mobiliers (céramique, monnaies, verre, etc.) ; inscrits dans le centre ancien de Forum Iulii.

In the thirteenth century, mendicant orders introduced new ways of religious life that engaged the laity through preaching and conversion. Moreover, they founded new movements for religious women dedicated to prayer and contemplation, such as the Dominican nuns and the Poor Clares. In their churches, both friars and nuns were separated from the laity, either in choir precincts situated behind architectural screens, or in upper galleries raised above ground level. Before the widespread removal of these furnishings, therefore, medieval and early modern mendicant church interiors did not resemble the unified spaces we encounter today. This volume presents a series of European case studies which use textual and material evidence to reconstruct and analyze the internal divisions of churches between the thirteenth and the sixteenth century. Thus, the authors provide a broad understanding of the variety, function, and meaning of the internal divisions that once conditioned the spiritual experience, function and meaning of sacred space for the laity as well as for the religious community.

The building of religious structures represents a rare opportunity for the architect to concentrate on the creation of volume, space, and form. Sacred architecture is far less determined than other building tasks by functional requirements, norms, and standards. As a rule, it is free to unfold as pure architecture. Thus in design terms this building task offers enormous freedoms to the architect. At the same time, however, the special atmospherics of sacred spaces call, on the part of the architect, for a highly sensitive treatment of religion and the relevant cultural and architectural traditions. In a systematic section, this volume introduces the design, technical, and planning fundamentals of building churches, synagogues, and mosques. In its project section, it also presents about seventy realized structures from the last three decades. Drawing upon his in-depth knowledge of the subject and his many years of publishing experience, the author offers a valuable analysis of the conceptual and formal aspects that combine to create the religious impact of spaces (e.g., the ground plan, the shapes of the spaces, the incidence of light, and materiality).
