LECTURE/SEMINAR PROGRAMME Two 1-hour lectures per week, plus one 1-hour tutorial. Unless otherwise noted, all required readings will be made available on MyAberdeen.

Further suggestions for readings on specific topics can be provided on request.

PART ONE: AND COLONIALISM WEEK 1: Introduction 1. Course overview (11 Sep) 2. and Hinduism: the basics (13 Sep) The first two lectures will present an overview of the structure and aims of the course and give a brief introduction to the historical and religious context. Students are not expected to have any prior academic familiarity with Hinduism or Buddhism, and the second lecture is intended as a reference point for the rest of the course. This will outline key concepts such as and dharma, and give a brief overview of some of the key terms that will be used throughout.

No tutorial.

WEEK 2: The ‘invention’ of Hinduism 2019

- 1. Orientalism and Oriental studies (18 Sep) 2. The construction of Hinduism (20 Sep) 2018 European understandings of Hinduism emerged with the development of ‘Oriental studies’ in the nineteenth century, and with the gradual translation of Hindu texts into European languages. It has been argued that this produced a skewed image of the religion, and even that it contributed to the wholesale ‘construction’ or ‘invention’ of Hinduism as a doctrinally unified, DRS Course Guide Course DRS

rationalised religion. Beyond academic study and textual translation, Western understandings of Asian religious practice have often been described in relation to Said’s conception of ‘Orientalism’: the representation of Middle Eastern or Asian cultures (‘the Orient’) as irrational, primitive or inferior, as a means of ‘dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the Orient’ (1978: 11).

WEEK 3: Hinduism and colonialism 1. The East India Company (25 Sep) 2. Thuggee and the representation of Hinduism (27 Sep) Contact between early orientalists and Hindu religion first occurred in the context of British colonial expansion, initially through the activities of the East India Company and later through direct British rule of much of the Indian subcontinent. British encounters with Hindu practice in the nineteenth century were often driven by the proselytising zeal of Christian

missionaries, and focused on efforts to reform and regulate local religious life. In many cases (as with the attempted suppression of sati and the 2019 - eradication of the murderous thuggee ‘cult’) this was aided by the

2018 production of distorted representations of Hindu religion, contributing to an

image constructed in opposition to Christian ideals.

WEEK 4: Hindu philosophy in the West 1. Hindu philosophy and German Idealism (2 Oct) 2. The Romantics (4 Oct) As Hindu religious and philosophical texts made their way to Europe and America, they began to have an impact on nineteenth century intellectual life. German philosophers such as Schopenhauer and Schlegel responded directly to third-hand translations of Hindu ideas, with their influence spreading through art and music; at the same time, Romantic poets such as Coleridge and Shelley began to incorporate Hindu imagery in their work. Later poets such as Emerson and Yeats continued this trend, typically by drawing on European interpretations of Hindu philosophy.

WEEK 5: A brief history of yoga 1. Yoga and colonialism (9 Oct) 2. The commodification of yoga (11 Oct) The popular image of yoga as system of physical exercises is, in many ways, a divergence from older understandings of the term. It has been argued that this shift followed the Indian nationalist reaction against colonial (and Orientalist) descriptions of Indians as feeble and degenerate; the development of Indian forms of physical culture emerged first as a way of challenging these characterisations, and later aided in the popularisation of forms of yoga focused on asana (posture) and pranayama (controlled breathing). These maintain an uneasy and often contested relationship with Hinduism and Hindu tradition, something that has become highly politicised in modern India.

6

The figure of the Buddha and his teachings were initially popularised in Victorian Britain by poets such as Edwin Arnold, who sought to translate a foreign religion and its philosophy into terms that would be amenable to European Christians. This somewhat distorted understanding of Buddhism later contributed to the early popularity of the hugely influential Theosophical Society, a new religious movement founded in 1875 that claimed to present the true and scientific tradition standing behind the doctrines of all major world religions. Even today, Western understandings of Buddhism still show the influence of Theosophical interpretations.

WEEK 7: ‘Scientific Buddhism’ 1. ‘Protestant Buddhism’ and Buddhist modernism (23 Oct) 2. Mindfulness and meditation (25 Oct) , veteran of the American Civil War and co-founder of the

Theosophical Society, arrived in Sri Lanka in 1880 and was horrified by what he saw as the degenerate state of Buddhism on the island. His reformed 2019 - vision of Buddhism would come to shape twentieth century representations

2018 of the religion outside Asia: he described an individualistic, rationalised and

quasi-scientific conception of the Buddhist dharma, allied to a concern with world peace and unity. This trend was continued with ‘Buddhist modernist’ movements in the twentieth century, and contributed to the popularisation of meditation and ‘mindfulness’ techniques beyond Buddhist practice.

WEEK 8: Buddhism, Christianity and Tibet 1. Buddhism and the Buddhist dharma (30 Oct) 2. ‘Lamaism’ and Tibetan Buddhism (1 Nov) Western attempts to characterise different forms of Buddhism have tended to focus on the relationship between Buddhist practice and the teachings of the Buddha, often through comparison with sectarian distinctions in Christianity. This is nowhere more evident than with descriptions of Tibetan Buddhism, which has been presented, at different times, as both the most authentic and most degenerate form of the religion – or even as a different religion entirely, under the name of ‘Lamaism’. Yet there is no direct

analogy, and the distinctions between Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism cannot be easily mapped onto a Catholic/Protestant comparison. 2019 -

WEEK 9: The many lives of the Tibetan Book of the Dead 1. The invention of the Tibetan Book of the Dead (6 Nov) 2. The Psychedelic Experience (8 Nov) The work now known as ‘the Tibetan Book of the Dead’ was first presented under this title by the American Theosophist Walter Evans-Wentz in 1927; yet it has been argued the book was largely constructed through the process of translation, and that the text did not possess any great significance before this point. Since then it has gained a popularity it never knew in Tibet, influencing Beatles songs, the TV series Twin Peaks and the works of Carl Jung, Aldous Huxley and the LSD evangelist Timothy Leary among others – but these interpretations of the book typically owe more to the Theosophical of Evans-Wentz than to the ritual techniques of Tibetan Buddhism.

1. The Dharma Bums: Buddhism and the Beats (13 Nov) 2. The Sixties (15 Nov) Western enthusiasm for Asian religions and philosophy flourished after the Second World War, reaching their height in the late 1960s. Buddhism exerted a direct influence on the Beat Generation in the USA, where writers such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac identified the teachings of Zen with the rebellious spirit of the emerging counter-culture. Later, the Beatles’ adoption of Transcendental Meditation in the Indian ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi tapped into (and helped to fuel) the growing surge of interest in Asian religious practice, much of it driven by ideas of Buddhism and Hinduism constructed in opposition to the familiar norms of Christianity.

WEEK 11: Asian religions and the West today 1. Religion in postcolonial South Asia (20 Nov) 2. New religious movements in the West (22 Nov) South Asian reactions against colonial constructions of Hindu religion in the

early twentieth century led to the development of the nationalist ‘Hindutva’ movement, now the dominant political ideology within India, and to an 2019 - increasing focus on racial and cultural definitions of ‘Hindu-ness’. In

2018 contrast, Buddhist groups in Asia have often tended to embrace modernist

representations of Buddhism for their own ends. The influence of the colonial encounter spread in both directions, and the twentieth century witnessed the flourishing of many new religious movements in Europe and America based on Hindu and Buddhist ideas: groups such as the
