Dharma
ISBN: 9780195394238 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between 300 BCE and 200 CE, concepts and practices of dharma attained literary prominence throughout India. Both Buddhist and Brahmanical authors sought to clarify and classify their central concerns, and dharma proved a means of thinking through and articulating those concerns. Alf Hiltebeitel shows the different ways in which dharma was interpreted during that formative period: from the grand cosmic chronometries of kalpas and yugas to narratives about divine plans, gendered nuances of genealogical time, royal biography (even autobiography, in the case of the emperor...

Freud's Mahabharata
ISBN: 9780190878337 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Though Freud never overtly refers to the Mahabharata, many of the Sanskrit epic's themes are illuminated by Freud's thought and, conversely, many incidents in the epic can be used to illustrate Freud's theories. In Freud's Mahabharata, Alf Hiltebeitel offers what he calls a "pointillist introduction" to a new theory about the Mahabharata based on Freud.

The Cult of Draupadi
ISBN: 9780226340487 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 556 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This is the first volume of a projected three-volume work on the little-known South Indian folk cult of the goddess Draupadi and on the classical epic, the "Mahabharata," that the cult brings to life in mythic, ritual, and dramatic forms. Draupadi, the chief heroine of the Sanskrit "Mahabharata," takes on many unexpected guises in her Tamil cult, but her dimensions as a folk goddess remain rooted in a rich interpretive vision of the great epic. By examining the ways that the cult of Draupadi commingles traditions about the goddess and the epic, Alf Hiltebeitel shows the cult to be singularly...

The Ritual of Battle: Krishna in the Mahabharata
ISBN: 9780791402504 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a study of India's great epic, the Mahabharata, against the background of Indo-European myth, epic, and ritual. It builds upon the pioneering studies in these areas by Georges Dumezil and Stig Wikander to work toward the goal of understanding how this epic's Indo-European heritage is interpreted and reshaped within the setting of bhakti or devotional Hinduism. The book begins with a comparative typology of traditional classical epics, arguing that epic is a distinctive mythical genre, and that the Mahabharata in particular should be studied as part of an Indo-European epic...

Rethinking the Mahabharata: A Reader's Guide to the Education of the Dharma King
ISBN: 9780226340548 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The ancient Indian Sanskrit tradition produced no text more intriguing, or more persistently misunderstood or underappreciated, than the Mahabharata.

Employing a wide range of literary and narrative theory, Hiltebeitel draws on historical and comparative research in an attempt to discern the spirit and techniques behind the epic's composition. He focuses on the education of Yudhisthira, also...

Nonviolence in the Mahabharata: Siva's Summa on Rishidharma and the Gleaners of Kurukshetra
ISBN: 9781138646186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Indian mythological texts like the Mah bh rata and R m ya a, there are recurrent tales about gleaners. The practice of "gleaning" in India had more to do with the house-less forest life than with residential village or urban life or with gathering residual post-harvest grains from cultivated fields. Gleaning can be seen a metaphor for the Mah bh rata poets art: an art that could have included their manner of gleaning what they made the leftovers (what they found useful) from many preexistent texts into Vy sa s entire thought including oral texts and possibly written ones, such as...

Throughout India and Southeast Asia, ancient classical epics the "Mahabharata" and the "Ramayana" continue to exert considerable cultural influence. "Rethinking India's Oral and Classical Epics" offers an unprecedented exploration into South Asia's regional epic traditions.

The Destiny of a King
ISBN: 9780226169767 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The preeminent scholar of comparative studies of Indo-European society, Georges Dumezil theorized that ancient and prehistoric Indo-European culture and literature revolved around three major functions: sovereignty, force, and fertility. This work treats these functions as they are articulated through "first king" legends found in Indian, Iranian, and Celtic epics, particularly the "Mahabharata." Dumezil, drawing on an extraordinarily broad range of Indo-European sources from Scandinavia to India and offering an original and provocative analytic method, set a new agenda for studies in...

Is the Goddess a Feminist?: The Politics of South Asian Goddesses
ISBN: 9780814736197 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In India, God can be female. The goddesses of Hinduism and Buddhism represent the largest extant collection of living goddesses anywhere on the planet. Feminists in the West often draw upon South Asian goddesses as theological resources in the contemporary rediscovery of the Goddess. Yet, these goddesses are products of a male supremacist society. What is the impact of powerful female deities--their images, projections, textuality, and history--on the social standing and psychological health of women? Do they empower women, or serve the interests of patriarchal culture? Is the Goddess a... In India, God can be female.

Hair: Its Power and Meaning in Asian Cultures
ISBN: 9780791437414 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hair--whether present or absent, restored or removed, abundant or scarce, long or short, bound or unbound, colored or natural--marks a person as clearly as speech, clothing, and smell. It defines a person's gender, sexual availability and desirability, age, social status, and even political stance. It may also act as a basis for discrimination in treatment by others. While hair's high salience as both sign and symbol extends cross-culturally through time, its denotations are far from universal. Hair is an interdisciplinary look at the meanings of hair, hairiness, and hairlessness in Asian...
