Reading a 1908 Buryat Schoolbook on Buddhism in the Light of its Socio-Cultural Setting
Reading a 1908 Buryat Schoolbook on Buddhism in the Light of its Socio-Cultural SettingThis article is devoted to the text entitled A Concise Teaching of Buddha Shakyamuni’s Religion for Instructing the Buryat Children, published in 1910 by Lama Danja-a Erdeniyeb. The study attempts to trace its complex discursive story, which shows the way the religious didactic narrative was transformed into a textbook for secular Buryat schools of the time. Th…
‘Chińczyki trzymają się mocno.’ Dynamika obrazu Chińczyka w Polsce (1988-2018)
Artykuł jest poświęcony analizie kształtu i historycznej dynamice stereotypu Chińczyka w społeczeństwie polskim. Oparty jest na badaniach sondażowych zespołu Ewy Nowickiej (1988 i 2018) oraz na nielicznych wynikach badań ilościowych i jakościowych innych autorów. Wizerunek Chińczyka uznaliśmy za szczególnie interesujący w badaniach nad społecznym dystansem jako klasyczny stereotyp zbiorowości „obcego nieznanego”, zbudowany na informacjach pośredn…
A Heap of Leaves or Fellow Travellers: Kinship and Family Life in the Buddhist Texts for the Buryat Laity (Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Centuries)
Much has been written about the role of 'shamanism' in the making of Mongol kinship. This article aims to explore the role of Buddhism in constructing kinship, which has received less scholarly attention. In particular, I investigate the ways the 'anti-family' orientation of Buddhism was propagated in Buryat society, which had assigned great social importance to kinship networks. In didactic texts compiled by Buryat lamas for the laity in the nin…
Born in the body of beasts. Animals and the social order in didactic Buddhist literature of Buryat-Mongols (XIX- beg. XX century)
This paper engages with current discussions concerning the ways in which human cultures construct the sphere labelled as “social” against that of the broadly defined environment. I contribute to these discussions with an analysis of the didactic Buddhist literature of Buryat-Mongols (19th–beg. 20th century), focusing on the image of non-human animals and their position in the social/universal order. With the emergence of environmentalist trends i…
Alternative History: Creation, Use and Interpretation of Buryat Genealogies
Group identities are often built on genealogies. Buryat culture appears to conform to this general rule. Elaborate Buryat historical genealogies have been written and preserved. Today, scholars regard them as a key source of insight into the structure and character of Buryat society. Most scholars treat Buryat genealogies exclusively as descriptions of kinship systems. In keeping with a rich anthropological literature, Buryat culture appears to f…
A Military Zone in a Dwelling of the Buddhas: Appropriation and Re-appropriation of the Cultural Landscape in Transbaikalia
This article considers a place as being filled with the symbolic meanings of the different groups controlling that place in different periods of history. It focuses on the example of the Soviet military zone in Transbaikalia, which was created on the site of the Buryat Buddhist monastery of Tsugol in the early 1930s. The military zone went on to replace the previous identity of the place by appropriating the meanings and symbols attached to the m…
The Human Being in Social and Cosmic Orders. Categories of Traditional Culture and the Problems of Contemporary Buryat Identity
Kwestia porządku społecznego była zwykle rozwijana w teoriach poziomu makro, takich jak funkcjonalizm czy marksizm, które postrzegały porządek jako konstruowany przez wspólne normy, wartości, podział pracy, władzy czy własności. Książka jest próbą przyjrzenia się za pomocą metody interpretatywnej koncepcjom porządku społecznego w kulturze buriackiej, a także jego metaforycznej strukturze przedstawianej jako wspólnotowe dążenie do zrozumienia świa…
