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-巴厘书写系统为例，探讨非印刷和印刷书写文化之间的关系，作为宗教、知识、世界解释和权力竞争范式的媒介。在前景是文本人类学的基础研究，对巴厘岛的深奥的写作实践。在第三个供资期，将通过将深奥的书面象形图（modré）、巴厘经文护身符（rerajahan）以及圣经中的救世论、身体和治疗概念与古代爪哇文学和南亚医学文本中的早期形式进行比较，深化这项研究。该项目的目的是使人们看到巴厘岛深奥的圣经实践与政治强加的现代宗教概念作为规范书面教义之间的根本差异。此外，讨论巴厘岛字符力量的深奥的棕榈叶手稿（tutur）将被翻译成英语并数字化。我们将把文本与相应实践的图像联系起来。

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.
