The Decline and Fall of Chinese Buddhist Literary Historical Consciousness
The problematic Sui-dynasty catalog Lidai sanbao ji 歷代三寶紀 is well known for its many incorrect translator attributions for early canonical Chinese Buddhist texts, attributions that in large measure were accepted by the later tradition and which have remained in place even within modern editions of the Chinese Buddhist canon. The question of how its compiler Fei Changfang 費長房 arrived at his information-and whether he acted in good or bad faith in …
Reading Indian Literature in Fourth-Century China
This article introduces new evidence concerning how the very earliest Chinese translations of Buddhist texts were read in early medieval China: a Turfan manuscript first made public in 2005 of an otherwise unknown interlinear commentary to the oldest Chinese translation of the Vimalakīrti Sutra . I show that the earliest (pre- ca. 350 CE ) translations of Indian Buddhist texts, well known for their problematic literary forms that frequently make …
As an Act of Protest and Emotional Catharsis About the Ugly Truth of Racism
In this edited interview, psychologists Eric Greene and Nisha Gupta interview filmmaker Dennis Leroy Kangalee about his film As an Act of Protest (2002), which is about a young African American actor named Cairo Medina who goes through a station-of-the-cross journey to find the meaning of his life and eradicate the racism and police brutality that continue to plague the world. In this conversation, Dennis shares the genesis of the film as a respo…
Introduction to the Special Issue on the Cultural Therapeutics of Film
This interdisciplinary special issue explores the synergy between psychotherapy and filmmaking—particularly how film can serve as a powerful healing function by bringing voice, representation, and light to the all-too-often overlooked and shadowed aspects of psychological and cultural life, similar to the work of psychotherapy. To understand the culturally therapeutic aspects of filmmaking, this issue features psychological and cinematic insights…
Inhabitation of Inhibition and Creative Freedom for Breastfeeding Mothers
In this edited interview, psychologists Nisha Gupta and Eric Greene interview Lori Jordan Fountain, psychology doctoral student and filmmaker of Inhabitation of Inhibition, an autophenomenological short film about the lived experience of breastfeeding in public. Despite the known benefits, antipathetic attitudes toward nursing in public persist, and “breastfeeding is perceived by many as dirty, sexual, embarrassing, and generally, something that …
Hot Girls Wanted and the Ethics of Critiquing Agency in Amateur Porn
In this edited interview, psychologists Nisha Gupta and Eric Greene have a conversation with filmmakers Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus about their documentary film Hot Girls Wanted (2015), which is a first-ever look at the realities of the professional amateur porn world and the 18- to 19-year old young women entering into it. This dialogue explores the relationships they developed with the young women they filmed, the ethical questions that arose w…
We the Animals and Honoring an Intimate Story of Brutal Love
In this edited interview, psychologists Nisha Gupta and Eric Greene interview filmmaker Jeremiah Zagar about We the Animals (2018), his film adaptation of the novel by Justin Torres. We the Animals is a coming-of-age story of an adolescent boy named Jonah who grows up with rambunctious brothers in a working class mixed-race family in upstate New York, and who must contend with both his volatile father and his emerging queer sexuality. Jonah’s mot…

Inequality for All and Activating Empowerment Amid Economic Despair
In this edited interview, psychologists Eric Greene and Nisha Gupta converse with filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth about his documentary film Inequality for All (2013), which is a passionate argument on behalf of the middle class. The film features Robert Reich—professor, best-selling author, and Clinton cabinet member—as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. The film is an intimate portrait of a m…
Maxamba and Memory-Making Amid Traumatic Displacement

MAXAMBA was created as a sensory ethnographic memory of inhabitants of Lisbon’s Quinta da Vitória neighborhood as they awaited the neighborhood’s final demolition. The film focuses on the daily life of an Indian Portuguese couple who emigrated from Mozambique (a former colony of Portugal) to Lisbon i…

Religion of Images
This paper explores how image worship was conceptualized and represented by Chinese authors during the first four centuries of Buddhist presence in China (to roughly 500 CE). Previous scholarship has argued that image worship was initially seen in China as a distinctively Buddhist practice, so much so that Buddhism was even known to the Chinese as the "Religion of Images" (xiangjiao 像教). By examining the history of the interpretation of this term…
The Mental Health Industrial Complex
Among the many sites on the battleground of the United States in which racism and classism rage is the all-too-overlooked mental health industrial complex. Over the past four decades, the mental health industrial complex has used the biomedical explanation for mental suffering. This focus on diagnoses that result from problems of the brain and not from social factors has contributed to an exponential increase of consumed medications and total rev…
Visions and Visualizations
Healing Breaths and Rotting Bones
This article examines the presentation and interpretation of Buddhist meditation in China during the Han and Three Kingdoms period. Previous scholarship has often claimed that during this period of time the Chinese were most attracted to those Indian Buddhist meditation practices that were seen, or had the potential to be seen, as similar to native Chinese breathing exercises, and that Buddhist meditation was accordingly interpreted through the l…
Death in a Cave
Another Look at Early Chan
As one of the earliest records pertaining to Bodhidharma, Daoxuan's Xu gaoseng zhuan is a crucial text in the study of so-called Early Chan. Though it is often thought that Daoxuan was attempting to promote the Bodhidharma lineage, recent studies have suggested that he was actually attacking Bodhidharma and his later followers. The present article suggests that such readings are in correct and that Daoxuan was in fact attacking the followers of t…
