Karin Altmann stellt Bhutans Textilien in ihrer Vielfalt vor: sie sind Kleidung und Alltagsobjekt, Währung und Handelsware, markieren als Geschenke wichtige Ereignisse im Laufe eines Lebens und bezeugen den sozialen Status einer Person. Sie sind aber auch integraler Bestandteil bei sakralen Festen, Tänzen und Ritualen, gewähren einen Einblick in die mystische und religiöse Weltanschauung der bhutanischen Bevölkerung und reflektieren zugleich die Konzeption von Gender in der bhutanischen Gesellschaft. Das Buch erzählt so auch die Geschichte eines Landes, das in einer globalisierten Welt sensibel nach einer Balance zwischen Tradition und Fortschritt sucht. 330 $aThis extensive work dedicated to the unique textile art of Bhutan is an impressive illustration of how closely art, spirituality, and life are interwoven in the last of the Buddhist kingdoms in the Himalayas. It gives new insight into Bhutanese cosmology, worldview, culture, and society, which is associated with a variety of historical, philosophical, religious, social, and artistic perspectives. The remote mountain location, low-key foreign policy, and basic principles of Buddhism has made it possible for Bhutan, the last of the Buddhist kingdoms in the Himalayas, to preserve a remarkable form of textile art that is interwoven with all aspects of life. Karin Altmann shows us Bhutan textiles in their diversity: they are clothes and everyday objects, currency and commodity, mark important events as gifts during life, and are testament to the social status of a person. But they are also an integral aspect of religious festivals, dances, and rituals that provide insight into the mystical and religious beliefs of the Bhutanese people, and reflect the concept of gender in Bhutanese society. The book also tells the story of a country that is searching for a sensitive balance between tradition and progress in a globalized world. 410 0$aEdition Die Angewandte, University Press. 606 $aTextile fabrics, Bhutanese 606 $aTextile fabrics$zBhutan 606 $aTextile crafts$zBhutan 607 $aBhutan$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aTextile fabrics, Bhutanese. 615 0$aTextile fabrics 615 0$aTextile crafts 676 $a746.095498 686 $aLC 12390$2rvk 700 $aAltmann$b Karin$01645305 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827801303321 996 $aFabric of life$93991678 997 $aUNINA
