讲座题目：The Narrative of the Buddha’s Life in Gandharan Art— Between Storytelling and Performance（佛陀生平物语在犍陀罗艺术中的表现：在故事叙述和表演之间）

讲座时间：2021年2月19日 14:00 （美国GMT-8，太平洋时间）2月20日6:00（北京时间）

内容概要：

In the Kushan period (1st- 3rd c. CE) Gandharan artists created a large body of narrative sculpture depicting the Buddha’s life story in a chronological and sequential manner. The Buddha’s actions in these pictorial narratives display a dramatic and cohesive thread that has no precedents in Indian art. The lecture intends to explore how this radically new way of narrating the Buddha’s life in Gandharan art may have been informed by modes of representations established in theatre. Textual and visual evidence speak for the early development of Sanskrit theatre and Buddhist drama in the Northwest of the Indian Subcontinent in the first centuries CE. Recent archaeological discoveries from Swat, Pakistan show how images associated with western theatrical performances were seamlessly integrated within the decoration of Buddhist stupas. All of the above evidence suggests that the performative tradition may have played a key role in the process of formulation and codification of Buddhist narrative art in the region.

讲座题目：Gandhāran Buddhist Reliquaries and Gandharan Buddhis（犍陀罗的遗物和圣物）

讲座时间：2021年3月12日 14:00 美国GMT-8，太平洋时间；3月13日6:00（北京时间）

内容概要：

Hundreds of Buddhist reliquaries from the Gandhara region are held in public and private collections around the world. Besides their wide variety and visual appeal, the inscriptions on them reveal the nature of Buddhist devotion and filial piety in ancient Gandhara, while also serving as a principal source of information on the social and political history of the region. The illustrated lecture will present several representative and unusual specimens and explain their special significance.

第四场

讲座题目：Where Was Wine Drunk in Gandhara?New Insights into Reveling Scenes in the light of a Stylistic Analysis（古犍陀罗人何处饮红酒？借助文本分析狂欢场景的新见解）

讲座时间：2021年4月16日 14:00 （美国-8，太平洋GMT时间，3月13日5:00（北京时间）

内容概要：

This presentation will outline some of the results of research on the identification and characterization of Gandharan sculptural styles and highlight how a traditional stylistic analysis can contribute to broader questions about Gandharan art, from the provenance of the artefacts to the signification of the scenes they represent. As a preamble, it will present the methodological approach underlying the stylistic study and sketch a map of the sculptural languages circumscribed across Gandhara. It will subsequently examine a case-study – the depiction of reveling scenes – and illustrate how an emphasis on patterns of geographic distribution may add to the discussion on phenomena of cultural and religion interaction in the region. It will further show how attention to formal and iconographic variations can – perhaps predictably – inform us on the provenance of pieces found outside of archaeological contexts and thereby invite to reflect on the methodological frameworks within which we approach
