SUMMARY:Seeing and Being Seen: The Cultural Roles of Tibetan Thangka
DESCRIPTION:\n	Yi Na (Yeshi Lhamo) (Associate Professor\, Institute of Ethn
 ic Literature\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\; HYI Visiting Scholar 
 2018-19)\n	Chair/discussant: Gregory Nagy (Francis Jones Professor of Clas
 sical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature\, Harvard U
 niversity)\n\n	*Please note early (10 am) start time*\n\n	Co-sponsored wit
 h the Fairbank Center\n\n\n	Thangka originally is a kind of scroll paintin
 g depicting Tibetan Buddhism images on textile. There are always contradic
 tions that seem impossible to reconcile in contemporary Thangka art caused
  by differentiated cultural roles of Thangka. Thangka’s cultural meaning
  and role are disparate for different people: In the eyes of ordinary art 
 admirers\, Thangka is a painting full of Tibetan characteristics. In the e
 yes of traditional Thangka artists\, Thangka's drawing process is the prac
 tice procedure\, and finished product and placement environment forms a re
 ligious setting. Commonly\, people will concentrate on how to "see" Thangk
 a\, as well as how to understand what Thangka “say.” However\, the lea
 doff meaning of Thangka includes the coexistence and symbiosis of seeing a
 nd being seen. Through the eyes of Buddhas\, we can observe how the viewed
  field is constructed by these two.
