Becoming Guanyin: artistic devotion of Buddhist women in Late Imperial China
The goddess Guanyin began in India as the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, originally a male deity. He gradually became indigenized as a female deity in China over the span of nearly a millennium.

Zusammenfassung: | The goddess Guanyin began in India as the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, originally a male deity. He gradually became indigenized as a female deity in China over the span of nearly a millennium. By the Ming (1358–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) periods, Guanyin had become the most popular female deity in China. In Becoming Guanyin, Yuhang Li examines how lay Buddhist women in late imperial China forged a connection with the subject of their devotion, arguing that women used their own bodies to echo that of Guanyin. Li focuses on the power of material things to enable women to access religious experience and transcendence. In particular, she examines how secular Buddhist women expressed mimetic devotion and pursued religious salvation through creative depictions of Guanyin in different media such as painting and embroidery and through bodily portrayals of the deity using jewelry and dance. These material displays expressed a worldview that differed from yet fit within the Confucian patriarchal system. Attending to the fabrication and use of "women’s things" by secular women, Li offers new insight into the relationships between worshipped and worshipper in Buddhist practice. Combining empirical research with theoretical insights from both art history and Buddhist studies, Becoming Guanyin is a field-changing analysis that reveals the interplay among material culture, religion, and their gendered transformations |

He gradually became indigenized as a female deity in China over the span of nearly a millennium. By the Ming (1358–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) periods, Guanyin had become the most popular female deity in China. In Becoming Guanyin, Yuhang Li examines how lay Buddhist women in late imperial China forged a connection with the subject of their devotion, arguing that women used their own bodies to echo that of Guanyin. Li focuses on the power of material things to enable women to access religious experience and transcendence. In particular, she examines how secular Buddhist women expressed mimetic devotion and pursued religious salvation through creative depictions of Guanyin in different media such as painting and embroidery and through bodily portrayals of the deity using jewelry and dance. These material displays expressed a worldview that differed from yet fit within the Confucian patriarchal system. Attending to the fabrication and use of "women’s things" by secular women, Li offers new insight into the relationships between worshipped and worshipper in Buddhist practice. Combining empirical research with theoretical insights from both art history and Buddhist studies, Becoming Guanyin is a field-changing analysis that reveals the interplay among material culture, religion, and their gendered transformations Guanyin (DE-588)118987739 gnd rswk-swf ART / Asian / Chinese bisacsh Buddhist women Women in Buddhism Mingdynastie (DE-588)4101004-8 gnd rswk-swf Anbetung (DE-588)4142376-8 gnd rswk-swf Buddhistin (DE-588)4631816-1 gnd rswk-swf Qingdynastie (DE-588)4088875-7 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Guanyin (DE-588)118987739 p Mingdynastie (DE-588)4101004-8 s Qingdynastie (DE-588)4088875-7 s Buddhistin (DE-588)4631816-1 s Anbetung (DE-588)4142376-8 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-231-19012-1 (DE-604)BV048622406 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-231-19013-8 (DE-604)BV048622406 https://doi.org/10.7312/li--19012 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
