| 附註項 | Sraman Mukherjee, PhD (Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, and University of Calcutta), 2010, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual Arts at Ashoka University (Sonepat, India). Trained as a historian of colonial and early postcolonial South Asia, his work explores the interface between the past and the present in the constitution of the disciplinary and institutional domains of art history, archaeology, and museums; biographies of material traces (sites, objects, and monuments); and histories of the inter-Asian circulation of objects, ideas, and people. Before joining Ashoka University, Sraman held postdoctoral research positions at the International Institute of Asian Studies (Leiden), the Royal Netherlands Institute for Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV, Leiden), and the Department of Art History and the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis); and teaching positions in the Department of History at Presidency University (Calcutta, India) and the School of Historical Studies at Nalanda University (Rajgir, India). His published articles and book chapters have appeared in peer-reviewed journals, edited volumes, conference proceedings, and institutional newsletters. Sraman’s ongoing research explores the possibilities of translation in art history, mapping material reconstitutions of circulating Buddhist objects and images across South and Southeast Asia. |
| 摘要 | This paper explores the possibility of reading the shifts in locations of objects as processes of translation and change in art history. The study focuses on the journeys and material reconstitutions of ancient Buddhist corporeal relics as they travelled from an archaeological site in British India, Piprahwa Kot, to a new relic temple in Bangkok, the capital of the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand), during the late nineteenth century. Mapping the shifting locations of the Piprahwa relics across changing geographical, institutional, cultural, and political spaces, the paper traces the changing materiality and multiple identities that accrued around these objects. This study does not ascribe these new identities of Buddhist relics solely to the “inventive” capacity of the cultural politics of British colonialism. Rather, it seeks to bring out the complexities of antiquarian collecting and market, connoisseurship, display, and scholarship; rituals of state diplomacy; and religious reclamations across transnational Southern Buddhist worlds, as constitutive of the new and multiple identities of ancient Buddhist corporeal relics. |
