Tantra Magic and Vernacular Religions in Monsoon Asia Texts Practices and Practitioners from the Margins

Tantra Magic and Vernacular Religions in Monsoon Asia Texts Practices and Practitioners from the Margins

This book explores the cross- and trans-cultural dialectic between Tantra and intersecting ‘magical’ and ‘shamanic’ practices associated with vernacular religions across Monsoon Asia. With a chronological frame going from the mediaeval Indic period up to the present a wide geographical framework and through the dialogue between various disciplines it presents a coherent enquiry shedding light on practices and practitioners that have been frequently alienated in the elitist discourse of mainstream Indic religions and equally overlooked by modern scholarship. The book addresses three desiderata in the field of Tantric Studies: it fills a gap in the historical modelling of Tantra; it extends the geographical parameters of Tantra to the vast yet culturally interlinked socio-geographical construct of Monsoon Asia; it explores Tantra as an interface between the Sanskritic elite and the folk the vernacular the magical and the shamanic thereby revisiting the intellectual and historically fallacious divide between cosmopolitan Sanskritic and vernacular local. The book offers a highly innovative contribution to the field of Tantric Studies and more generally South and Southeast Asian religions by breaking traditional disciplinary boundaries. Its variety of disciplinary approaches makes it attractive to both the textual/diachronic and ethnographic/synchronic dimensions. It will be of interest to specialist and non-specialist academic readers including scholars and students of South Asian religions mainly Hinduism and Buddhism Tantric traditions and Southeast Asian religions as well as Asian and global folk religion shamanism and magic. | Tantra Magic and Vernacular Religions in Monsoon Asia Texts Practices and Practitioners from the Margins

Retelling Time Alternative Temporalities from Premodern South Asia

Retelling Time Alternative Temporalities from Premodern South Asia

Retelling Time challenges the hegemony of colonial modernity over academic disciplines and over ways in which we think about something as fundamental as time. It reclaims a bouquet of alternative practices of time from premodern South Asia which stem from worldviews that have been marginalized. These practices relate to a range of classical and vernacular genres including alaṃkāra theravāda yoga rāmakathā tasawwuf āyāraṃga purāṇa trikā-tantra navya-nyāya pratyabhijñā carita kūṭīyāṭṭam and maṅgala kāvya. These represent multiple languages such as Sanskrit Persian Pali Prakrit Awadhi Malayalam Kannada and Bengali as well as diverse streams from Hinduism Jainism Buddhism and Sufi Islam to logic yoga tantra theatre and poetics. Retelling Time questions the modern Eurocentric belief in an empty homogenous abbreviated secular and irreversible time. It proposes instead that that premodern South Asia invested time with cultural function and value which ranged from the contingent to the transcendent the quotidian to the cosmic the fleeting to the eternal and the social to the spiritual. Accordingly time was reworked - stretched melded collapsed recursed rolled over and even extinguished. Sacred social aesthetic scientific fictional historical and performative South Asian traditions are seen here in conversation with one other mediated by an ethical paradigm. Their collective challenge is to decolonize our ways of knowing and being. This book will be of interest to scholars of South Asian history philosophy of history anthropology literature Sanskrit post colonial studies cultural studies studies of temporality and of the Global South. | Retelling Time Alternative Temporalities from Premodern South Asia
