Buddha in the Marketplace : The Commodification of Buddhist Objects in Tibet by Alex John Catanese
Requirements: .PDF reader, 16 MB
Overview: Addressing the various societal and religious ramifications of these commercial practices, Catanese illustrates how such activity is leading to significant cultural and economic changes, transforming the 'moral economy' associated with Buddhist objects, and contributing to a reinterpretation of Tibetan Buddhist identity.
"A work of breadth and depth, this book touches on key issues in the study of the commodification of religious objects, the production of Buddhist art, patronage practices in premodern Tibet, and cultural tourism in minority areas of China today. It offers salient insights into the transformation and adaptation of Buddhist values and objects in contemporary Tibet. The book will be invaluable to those studying cultural tourism, Buddhist material culture, and minorities in China." - Holly Gayley, University of Colorado Boulder, author of Love Letters from Golok: A Tantric Couple in Modern Tibet
