Sacred and Holy Scripture. On the Materiality and Function of Competing Systems of Writing in the Formation of the Religious Sphere in Bali (C07)

这个民族学项目以爪哇-巴厘语书写系统为例，考察了非排版和排版书写文化之间的关系，它们是宗教、知识、世界解释和权力等相互竞争的范式的媒介。前景是关于巴厘岛深奥写作实践的文本人类学基础研究。在第三个资助期内，将深化这项研究，将深奥的文字象形文字(modré)、巴厘文圣经护身符(Rerajahan)和圣经中关于鸡尾学、身体和治疗的概念与爪哇古代文献和南亚医学文献中的早期形式进行比较。该项目的目的是使巴厘岛深奥的圣经实践与政治强加的现代宗教概念作为一种规范的书面教义之间的根本区别显而易见。此外，讨论巴厘文文字力量的深奥的棕榈叶手稿(Tuut)将被翻译成英语并数字化。我们将把文字与相应做法的图像联系起来。

Drawing upon the example of the Javanese-Balinese writing system, this ethnological project examines the relationship between non-typographic and typographic writing cultures as media of competing paradigms of religion, knowledge, world interpretation, and power. In the foreground is text-anthropological basic research on the esoteric writing practices of Bali. In the third funding period, this research will be deepened by comparing esoteric written pictograms (modré), Balinese scriptural amulets (rerajahan) and scriptural concepts of soteriology, body and healing with earlier forms in ancient Javanese literature and South Asian medical texts. The aim of the project is to make visible the fundamental differences between Bali's esoteric scriptural practice on the one hand, and the politically imposed modern concept of religion as a canonical written doctrine on the other. In addition, the esoteric palm-leaf manuscripts (tutur) discussing the power of Balinese characters will be translated into English and digitized. We will link texts with images of the corresponding practices.
