DESCRIPTION:Internationale conference in cooperation with the Institut d'A
 sie Orientale\, Università degli Studi di Perugia\, Ens de Lyon and the 
 École française d’Extrême-Orient.\n\nThe conference aims to evaluate 
 the relevance of concepts such as syncretism\, hybridity\, mélange\, mét
 issage and bricolage used to describe the processes of transmission of Bud
 dhism by comparing case studies from various Asian cultural areas and from
  different historical periods. Of paramount importance in the conference i
 s the contextualisation of the processes of transmission of Buddhism. Rega
 rdless of the period under examination\, the transmission of Buddhism from
  one cultural context in Asia to another is always dependant on specific l
 ocal circumstances and needs\; thus\, teachings and practices are always r
 einterpreted locally. Therefore\, the transfer of Buddhism never results i
 n the conservation of a supposedly authentic tradition\, but rather is a d
 ynamic process of constant renewal. In a nutshell\, the goal of the confer
 ence is to typologize the historical\, cultural and societal factors that 
 induce religious innovation by considering global as well as local framewo
 rks. Through specific case studies\, cultural and religious complexities w
 ill become visible as dynamic phenomena which move beyond boundaries.\n\nV
