DESCRIPTION:Internationale Konferenz in Kooperation mit dem Institut d'Asi
 e Orientale\, Università degli Studi di Perugia\, Ens de Lyon und der É
 cole française d’Extrême-Orient.\n\nThe conference aims to evaluate th
 e relevance of concepts such as syncretism\, hybridity\, mélange\, métis
 sage and bricolage used to describe the processes of transmission of Buddh
 ism by comparing case studies from various Asian cultural areas and from d
 ifferent historical periods. Of paramount importance in the conference is 
 the contextualisation of the processes of transmission of Buddhism. Regard
 less of the period under examination\, the transmission of Buddhism from o
 ne cultural context in Asia to another is always dependant on specific loc
 al circumstances and needs\; thus\, teachings and practices are always rei
 nterpreted locally. Therefore\, the transfer of Buddhism never results in 
 the conservation of a supposedly authentic tradition\, but rather is a dyn
 amic process of constant renewal. In a nutshell\, the goal of the conferen
 ce is to typologize the historical\, cultural and societal factors that in
 duce religious innovation by considering global as well as local framework
 s. Through specific case studies\, cultural and religious complexities wil
 l become visible as dynamic phenomena which move beyond boundaries.\n\nVer
 anstaltungsort: Institut d’Asie Orientale\, École Normale Supérieure d
