A Course by guest lecturer Valentina Punzi on Tibetian Sacred Geography
A new course Tibetian Sacred Geography (HVKU.04.005; 3 ECTS) by Dr Valentina Punzi ("L'Orientale", University of Naples) can be taken as an optional course by all PhD, MA and BA students. Lectures will be held from 6th to 14th February 2017.
This course will offer an introduction to Tibetan sacred geography, by discussing on both past and contemporary Tibetan cultural expressions of the relationship between people and the environment on the Tibetan plateau and in the Himalayan regions. Reflections on the sacralization of the land, practice of pilgrimages and emic concepts of mandala and "hidden lands" will be theoretically framed by Ingold's phenomenological approach to the perception of the environment.
