| 抄録 | The contributors to this volume analyze different conceptions of space in various traditions of the Himalayan region by relying on linguistic and cultural evidence. Linguistic approaches raise questions about the underlying cognitive models which are inscribed in grammatical systems and are relevant in everyday speech practice. Anthropological analysis complements this perspective by looking at cultural patterns which become particularly apparent in ritual action (such as shamanist journeys) and mythological discourse. In comparing the findings about different traditions, two basic spatial models emerge in various local constellations and blends: the 'mandalaic' model takes up a common South Asian theme and systematically conflates body-centred orientation with cardinal directions. The 'geomorphic' model invokes more territorial notions and is strongly bound to the hilly and mountainous landscape of the region. In their detailed studies the authors explore the complexities of these models and related practices. The cultural horizons for conceptualizing space and the practices informed by these horizons prove to be crucial for an understanding of both tradition and change in the social and political settings of the Himalayan region. |
