内容説明
Studies in Orissan Society, Culture and History Series 1 Twenty years after the publication of The Cult of Jagannath (Eschmann, Kulke and Tripathi eds. 1978, Manohar) a conference was held in Heidelberg, Germany at which some of the past foci of Orissan research were reconsidered. By thus revisiting Jagannath, it was considered whether, in what respect and to what degree a shift in methods, theories, paradigms or intellectual interests has taken place during the past two decades. The articles published in this book represent rewritten versions of papers held at this conference. They include contributions from social anthropology, history, Indology, religious studies, archaeology, and political science, discussing topics as diverse as religious practices among Orissan adivasis, the renewal of the body of Jagannath, the history of Mahima Dharma sect, the ritual politics of a Dhenkanal village, and the rebellious attitude of a jungle king, Compared with the Jagannath volume of 1978, a certain shift in interest can be discerned, away from the centre and the dominant groups to (apparently) peripheral or marginal areas or groups.
Thus, for example, the present volume features contributions on little kings rather than the Gajapatis, on west Orissa rather than the central Mahanadi delta, on fishermen rather than Brahmans, and on village cults rather than the Puri temple. And even where Jagannath is re-investigated, it is his worship by subaltern groups rather than the scriptural, orthodox view that is the present focus of study.
