Refiguring East Asian Religious Art: Buddhist Devotion and Funerary Practice
Edited by Wu Hung and Paul Copp
Essays in this book Refiguring East Asian Religious Art: Buddhist Devotion and Funerary Practice explore the powerful transformations that took place within ancient Buddhist societies when the life of an individual came to an end and took on new life in unique forms of religious art and architecture. Dealing with concrete historical examples, these essays not only delve deep into the tightly woven interpersonal relationships, loyalties, and intense devotion that led to the creation of these religious and societal practices, but also challenge both the modern scholar and general reader to see with fresh eyes and refigure how we experience, conceptualize, and understand East Asian religious art.
