Art and Objects -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexStories centering on the lovelorn ghost (Mae Nak) and the magical monk (Somdet To) are central to Thai Buddhism. Historically important and emotionally resonant, these characters appeal to every class of follower. Metaphorically and rhetorically powerful, they invite constant reimagining across time. Focusing on representations of the ghost and monk from the late eighteenth century to the present, Justin Thomas McDaniel builds a case for interpreting modern Thai Buddhist practice through the movements of these transformative figures. He follows embodiments of the ghost and monk in a variety of genres and media, including biography, film, television, drama, ritual, art, liturgy, and the Internet. Sourcing nuns, monks, laypeople, and royalty, he shows how relations with these figures have been instrumental in crafting histories and modernities. McDaniel is especially interested in local conceptions of being "Buddhist" and the formation and transmission of such identities across different venues and technologies. Establishing an individual's "religious repertoire" as a valid category of study, McDaniel explores the performance of Buddhist thought and ritual through practices of magic, prognostication, image production, sacred protection, and deity and ghost worship, and clarifies the meaning of multiple cultural configurations. Listening to popular Thai Buddhist ghost stories, visiting crowded shrines and temples, he finds concepts of attachment, love, wealth, beauty, entertainment, graciousness, security, and nationalism all spring from engagement with the ghost and the monk and are as vital to the making of Thai Buddhism as venerating the Buddha himself.BuddhismSocial aspectsThailandHistoryBuddhist monksThailandElectronic books.BuddhismSocial aspectsHistory.Buddhist monks294.34309593McDaniel Justin1025788MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457776203321The lovelorn ghost and the magical monk2451258UNINA05218nam 2200661 450 991078865690332120170828133210.00-8218-7885-9(CKB)3240000000069821(EBL)3112995(SSID)ssj0000712506(PQKBManifestationID)11433874(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000712506(PQKBWorkID)10644591(PQKB)10765039(MiAaPQ)EBC3112995(WaSeSS)Ind00039851(RPAM)12703641(PPN)197106226(EXLCZ)99324000000006982120020314h20022002 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFluid flow and transport in porous media mathematical and numerical treatment : proceedings of an AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Fluid Flow and Transport in Porous Media, Mathematical and Numerical Treatment, June 17-21, 2001, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts /Zhangxin Chen, Richard E.
