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

以爪哇-巴厘文字系统为例，这个民族学项目考察了非排版和排版文字文化之间的关系，作为宗教、知识、世界解释和权力的竞争范式的媒介。最重要的是文本人类学的基础研究，研究巴厘岛的神秘书写习俗。在第三个资助期，这项研究将通过比较深奥的书面象形文字（modr<s:1>）、巴厘岛经文护身符（rerajahan）和关于救赎论、身体和治疗的经文概念，与古代爪哇文学和南亚医学文献中的早期形式进行深入研究。该项目的目的是让人们看到，一方面是巴厘岛深奥的圣经实践，另一方面是政治强加的现代宗教概念，作为一种规范的书面教义。此外，讨论巴厘文字力量的深奥棕榈叶手稿（tutur）将被翻译成英文并数字化。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.
