The Speakers/演讲嘉宾

Youn-mi Kim

Assistant Professor of History of Art at Yale University

 

Professor Kim is a specialist in Chinese Buddhist art, but her broader interest in cross-cultural relationships between art and ritual also extends to Korean and Japanese materials. She is particularly interested in symbolic rituals, the interplay between visibility and invisibility in Buddhist art, and the sacred spaces and religious macrocosms created by religious architecture for imaginary pilgrimages. She is currently working on a book manuscript titled Art, Space, and Ritual in Medieval Buddhism: From a Liao Pagoda to Heian Japanese Esoteric Ritual.

 

金延美

耶鲁大学艺术史系助理教授

 

金教授是中国佛教艺术专家，但她对韩国和日本的艺术与仪式间跨文化关系有着广泛的研究兴趣。她对象征性的仪式、佛教艺术中“可见”与“不可见”的相互作用、以及宗教建筑中的空间和宏观宇宙尤为感兴趣。金教授目前正在写作《中世纪佛教的艺术、空间和仪式：从辽代宝塔到日本平安时代的神秘仪式》。

 

Mimi Yiengpruksawan

Professor of History of Art at Yale University

 

Mimi Yiengpruksawan received a Ph.D. in Japanese art studies from UCLA in 1988. In her research and writing Yiengpruksawan focuses on Buddhist art and iconography with emphasis on political and social perspectives in the analysis of devotional imagery and ritual. Her methodological approach has always been cross-regional and interdisciplinary in nature, with a strong interest in the impact of the nonlocal and the catastrophic (ecological, environmental) on cultural production.

 

Mimi Yiengpruksawan

耶鲁大学艺术史系教授

 

Mimi Yiengpruksawan 1988年从加州大学洛杉矶分校获得日本艺术研究博士学位。Yiengpruksawan教授的研究与写作以佛教艺术和造像为重点，强调从政治和社会角度分析宗教意象和仪式。她的研究方法一直具有跨区域和跨学科的特点，特别关注文化生产的非本地和灾难性（生态、环境）影响等方面。

The Event/活动简介

Dr. Kim and Dr. Yiengpruksawan will discuss recent discoveries from their trip in Northern China along the Silk Road, an ancient web of trade routes that connected eastern and western societies. Their work concerns the intersections between Buddhism and cultures across Asia, as well as how the study of these intersections allows for greater understanding of trade in the modern era. This most recent trip, into Tangut and Kitan territories, is part of a larger initiative called the Yale Silk Road, which was started by Yiengpruksawan in 2006 and is now directed by Kim. The project has assembled over 11,000 images of major sites in the Silk Road region. 

 

金博士和Yiengpruksawan博士将讨论她们近期中国北方之旅的新发现，她们的旅途沿着丝绸之路这一由连接东西方社会的贸易路线组成的古代商旅网络。两位教授的工作涉及亚洲佛教和文化间的交叉领域，以及这些交叉领域的研究如何加深现代世界对贸易的理解。两位教授对西夏和辽代领土的考察是“耶鲁丝绸之路”计划的一部分，这一计划由Yiengpruksawan教授于2006年发起，现由金教授领导。该项目已汇编丝绸之路地区主要遗迹的11,000多张照片。
