With its cross-cultural stance, the book concerns itself with the unusual task of creating links between the symbolic representations of gender in the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism, and contemporary western thinking in relation to identity politics and intersubjectivity. A wide range of sources are drawn upon in order to build up arguments concerning the complexities of individual gender roles in Tibetan society, alongside the symbolic spaces allocated to the male and female within its cultural forms, including its sacred institutions, its representations and in the enactment of ritual. And in the light of Tibetan Buddhisms popularity in the west, timely questions are raised concerning gender and the potential uses and abuses of power and secrecy in Tibetan Tantra, which, with its unique emphasis on guru-devotion and sexual ritual, is now being disseminated worldwide. What is made clear in this new edition, however, is that Campbell's ultimate aim is to elucidate, through the use of a psychoanalytical perspective, something of the dynamic inter-relationship between the inner lives of individuals, their gender identities in society, and the belief systems which they create in order to provide cohesion, continuity and meaning, whether it be in the east or the west."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWomen in Buddhism$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region 606 $aWomen$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism 606 $aWomen$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aPsychoanalysis and religion 606 $aReligion: general$2bicssc 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xReligion 615 0$aWomen in Buddhism 615 0$aWomen$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism. 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and religion. 615 7$aReligion: general 676 $a294.3923082 700 $aCampbell$b June$01579675 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796809803321 996 $aTraveller in space$93859925 997 $aUNINA
