  • La Lorraine Artiste: Nature, Industry, and the Nation in the Work of Émile Gallé and the École De Nancy
    La Lorraine Artiste: Nature, Industry, and the Nation in the Work of Émile Gallé and the École de Nancy By Jessica Marie Dandona A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby, Chair Professor Anne Wagner Professor Andrew Shanken Spring 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Jessica Marie Dandona All rights reserved Abstract La Lorraine Artiste: Nature, Industry, and the Nation in the Work of Émile Gallé and the École de Nancy by Jessica Marie Dandona Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby, Chair My dissertation explores the intersection of art and politics in the career of 19th-century French designer Émile Gallé. It is commonly recognized that in fin-de-siècle France, works such as commemorative statues and large-scale history paintings played a central role in the creation of a national mythology. What has been overlooked, however, is the vital role that 19th-century arts reformers attributed to material culture in the process of forming national subjects. By educating the public’s taste and promoting Republican values, many believed that the decorative arts could serve as a powerful tool with which to forge the bonds of nationhood. Gallé’s works in glass and wood are the product of the artist’s lifelong struggle to conceptualize just such a public role for his art. By studying decorative art objects and contemporary art criticism, then, I examine the ways in which Gallé’s works actively participated in contemporary efforts to define a unified national identity and a modern artistic style for France.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 954. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/954 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/954 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Concept of 'Dhamma' in Thai Buddhism: A Study in the Thought of Vajiranana and Buddhadasa Abstract Dhamma is one of the most important and most difficult concepts in Pali Buddhism. Its significance lies in the fact that the term points to both the essence and the goal of Buddhism. Its ambiguity, however, results from the variety of the term's interpretations depending on its contexts. This dissertation analyzes the concept of dhamma in the writings of the two foremost interpreters of Thai Buddhism in the modern and contemporary periods, Vajiranana (1860-1921) and Buddhadasa (1906- ), who, in differing ways, attempt to recover the original teaching of the Buddha's dhamma. The study first describes the anger of meanings of the term in the Pali canonical materials, and selected western interpreters, before focusing on its normative and popular significance in Thai Buddhism. After discussing the historical context in which Vajiranana and Buddhadasa have worked, the dissertation then provides a detailed exposition of their interpretations of dhamma.

  • Enlightened – the Realm of the Buddhas
    Enlightened – The Realm of the Buddhas The Buddha seated on a lotus throne is one of the oldest and to date best-known representa- tions of Buddhism. Buddhist teachings emerged in northern India in the last pre-Christian millennium. From there it spread across Central and East Asia as far as Indonesia within a matter of 1,200 years. Today, Buddhism has over 380 million followers spread over the entire globe. Who was the Buddha and what was his message? How many Buddhas are there and how do they differ from one another? Is a Buddha always male? What is understood by enlightenment? The exhibition invites visitors to follow up on these and similar questions and explore the immense variety of Buddhism. At the centre stand the Three Jewels: the Buddha, his teachings, and the Buddhist community. The encounter with numerous Buddhas from South, Central, and East Asia will reveal that representations of the Buddha do not merely have a decorative function. They form the pillars of a spiritual practice and convey complex and intricate teachings. On his journey from prince to religious founder, Buddha Shakyamuni searched for the origin of suffering and for ways of overcoming it. Since his pursuit began roughly 2,500 years ago, a multitude of symbols and images of him and his teachings have emerged. What a Buddha had to look like was defined very early in various Indian writings. Unto this day, artists still follow these templates which makes recognizing a Buddha quite easy. At the same time, one is surprised again and again at the huge variety of representational modes which emerged with the spread of Buddhism and its encounter with local artistic expressions and ideas.
