Travelling Pasts
This introduction addresses the key methodological and theoretical issues against which the contributions to this volume have been written. It basically argues that ‘heritage’ is something which is produced, not simply given. This social construction (and selection) of ‘heritage’ out of a great reservoir of possible historical events, processes, persons and material remnants is not a straightforward matter. The heritagization of some elements of …
Travelling Pasts
Travelling Pasts, edited by Burkhard Schnepel and Tansen Sen, offers an innovative exploration of the issue of heritage in the Indian Ocean world. This collection of essays demonstrates how the heritagization of the past has played a vital role in processes and strategies related to the making of socio-cultural identities, the establishing of political legitimacies, and the pursuit of economic and geopolitical gains.

Die drei Körper des Königs
Zur Dialektik von agency und patiency
In diesem Beitrag werden die beiden zentralen Begriffe des Symposiums, agency und patiency (respektive passio), zunächst ideengeschichtlich sowie anhand ethnographischer und historischer Beispielen erläutert. Daraufhin wird argumentiert, dass es vor allem die hierarchisch geordnete Dialektik von agency und patiency ist, die in einer auf Standpunkte der Akteure fokussierten Analyse unweigerlich in den Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung rückt. Diese diale…
Herrscherkult und Heilserwartung
Könige und Herrscher galten über die Zeiten hinweg als schlichtweg außergewöhnliche Menschen. Neben angeborenen Fähigkeiten bei der Staats- und Heeresführung wurden ihnen Heil- und Wunderkraft, übermenschliches Charisma, besondere Gottesnähe, ja eigene Göttlichkeit zugeschrieben. Das Buch zeigt, wie sich dieses sakrale Königtum gegen alle Alleinvertretungsansprüche der monotheistischen Religionen dauerhaft behaupten konnte. Dabei wird deutlich, d…

Jagannath Revisited
Studies in Orissan Society, Culture and History Series 1 Twenty years after the publication of The Cult of Jagannath (Eschmann, Kulke and Tripathi eds. 1978, Manohar) a conference was held in Heidelberg, Germany at which some of the past foci of Orissan research were reconsidered. By thus revisiting Jagannath, it was considered whether, in what respect and to what degree a shift in methods, theories, paradigms or intellectual interests has taken …

Twinned Beings
Durga and the King
This article discusses royal authority in Hindu India, and explores the relations and mutual dependencies between the domains of religion and politics. The data presented refer to one specific unit of political organization, the 'little kingdom' and, in particular, to the kingdom of Jeypore in south Orissa. Jeypore is further specified as a sub-type of the 'little kingdom', namely as a jungle kingdom', which is characterized by its remote locatio…
Tribal Thought and Culture, Essays in Honour of Shri Surajit Chandra Sinha
Continuity despite and through death
The paper re-analyses the problems raised by the Shilluk practice of regicide and the rituals associated with royal shrines. Using recent field data, older colonial texts and previous anthropological analyses, the author compares Shilluk ideas to the medieval notion of 'the king's two bodies' as described by the historian Kantorowicz and emphasises the crucial differences. Shilluk kingship, it is argued, is open, competitive and charismatic. Furt…
