Pure Land Buddhism in Modern Japanese Culture de Elisabetta Porcu

Pure Land Buddhism in Modern Japanese Culture: Numen Book Series, cartea 121

Autor Elisabetta Porcu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iul 2008
Despite being one of the most influential forms of Japanese Buddhism, the Pure Land tradition, and notably its impact on the development of Japanese cultural history, has often been overlooked outside Japan. Taking into account recent scholarship on orientalism and occidentalism, this book, written from the perspective of the Study of Religions, provides an analysis of the impact that the Pure Land tradition, in particular Shin Buddhism, has exerted on mainstream forms of artistic expression (especially creative arts, literature and the tea ceremony) in modern and contemporary Japan.

Recenzii

"Porcu’s ground-breaking study is an indispensable resource for rebalancing Western perceptions of contemporary Japanese religion."
Galen Amstutz, Religious Studies Review 35:4

"Porcu’s work can thus be added to the list of exemplary works of critical self-reflection on the study of Buddhism, and while the importance of Porcu’s critical study applies specifi cally to the case of Japan, it is in fact much more widely relevant."
Richard K. Payne, Institute of Buddhist Studies, Berkeley, California, Japanese Religions 35:1-2

"Elisabetta Porcu's Pure Land Buddhism in Modern Japanese Culture brings much-needed attention to Buddhism's impact on Japanese Culture in the twentieth century [...] a well-researched and significant book that deserves to be read widely by scholars of modern Japan, whatever their subfield."
Richard M. Jaffe, Duke University, USA, Journal of Japanese Studies 36:1

"Porcu has assembled an impressive and engaging array of sources and resources that demonstrate the presence of Pure Land concepts in iconic examples of Japanese art and culture [...] She has produced a significant contribution to the literature on the relationship between Japanese art and religion."
Nancy Stalker, The Eastern Buddhist 41:1
