Der Hinduismus
Der Hinduismus ist nach Christentum und Islam die drittgrößte Weltreligion und für Europäer sicher die fremdartigste. Der renommierte Indologe Axel Michaels erklärt anschaulich Traditionen und kanonische Texte des Hinduismus, seine Riten und Feste, Götter und Tempel, das Kastensystem sowie die hinduistischen Vorstellungen vonTod, Wiedergeburt und Erlösung. Nicht zuletzt geht er der Frage nach, was die Modernisierung Indiens für den Hinduismus bed…
The Rājyābhiṣeka Manual for the Coronation of King Birendra of Nepal (1975). Introduction and Facsimile Edition , by Michael Witzel
What we Indologists owe to anthropologists
The following text is a reaction and an objection to Gérard Toffin’s contribution titled ‘Merging perspectives on classical Hinduism and popular Hindu religion’, which was published in the previous issue of EBHR (No 57) as a foreword to the translation of ‘Festivals, time and space: the structure of the Indo-Nepalese version of the Hindu calendar’ by Marc Gaborieau. Toffin references my article ‘“At the point of confluence of Sociology and Indolo…

At the point of confluence of sociology and Indology
In this article, I aim to show how Louis Dumont's famous claim that 'the condition for a sound development of Sociology of India is found in the establishment of the proper relation between it and classical Indology' has become obsolete and was from the beginning a problematic postulate. I first develop the historical background of the denigration of anthropological approaches in India against the rise of an idealising Indology as a philological …
Cultural hybridity and transculturality 1
Hybridity has become the normal status quo, and contributes to a positive connotation of many objects, practices and phenomena. In cultural studies, hybridity developed into a key term associated with ‘one of the most widely employed and disputed terms in postcolonial theory’. Hybridity was therefore mostly limited to phenomena in the context of cultural colonization and globalization. Moreover, there are particularly positioned persons who promo…

"Religious" Approaches to Heritage Restoration in Post-Earthquake Kathmandu
In the aftermath of the 2015 earthquakes of Nepal we noticed two key attitudes towards preserving and restoration of monuments of cultural heritage among archeologists, architects, conservationists
Nepalese History in a European Experience
In March 2013, a group of German, Nepalese, and Swiss historians, Indologists, and an architectural historian gathered for a workshop in Nepal to develop a new approach to the understanding of South Asian historiography, especially the Nepalese chronicles from the nineteenth century. The outcome is the present collaboratively written article. It is argued that, in the past, the analysis of South Asian historiography has been preoccupied by argume…
Zeichensysteme Warum ist die Indusschrift noch nicht entziffert?
Auf etwa fünf tausend kleinen Siegeln und anderen Objekten der Induskultur (ca. 3.-2. Jahrtausend v. Chr.) befindet sich eine piktographische Zeichenansammlung, deren Sinn noch immer nicht entziffert ist. Die Entdeckung dieser Kultur im Nordosten Indiens und Pakistans im Jahre 1922 war eine Sensation. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt konnte sich niemand vorstellen konnte, dass es vor der Einwanderung der Indo-Arier dort eine hochentwickelte Zivilisation g…

Gesten
Gesten gehören zu den frühesten und wichtigsten Darstellungs- und Ausdrucksformen. Sie sind allen Menschen gemeinsam und sind zugleich historisch und kulturell unterschiedlich. Gesten sind Handlungen ohne Worte. Als soziale und ästhetische Darstellungs- und Ausdrucksformen bringen sie den Körper in Erscheinung. Sie sind dynamisch und performativ; sie spielen eine zentrale Rolle in: bildender Kunst, Film und Musik; Theater, Performance und Tanz; s…
Sacred Landscape of the Himalaya
Where the mountains can be gods it seems obvious to talk about the sacredness of landscape: The proceedings of an international seminar at Heidelberg in May 1998 present nine case studies covering the entire range of the Himalaya, from Ladakh and Garhwal in India, to Humla and Mustang in Nepal as well as Bhutan. The focus is on space-related architectural and/or anthropological analysis of the built environment and its location in landscape â a t…

Gift and Return Gift, Greeting and Return Greeting in India
In a remarkable, often quoted footnote of his famous "Essai sur le don," Marcel Mauss wonders that traditional Hindu law does not really prescribe the obligation to return a gift (Skt. dāna). According to some authors (J. Parry, Th. Trautmann, G. Raheja et al.) Mauss has demonstrated by this footnote his lack of a firm grasp of the theory of dāna since he did not notice that a dāna contains too much impurity or inauspiciousness to return to its d…
