Workshop 1: Research Progress
Date: July 16, 2020 9:30-12pm (Beijing time)
Venue: Online with Peking University
Abstract:
Due to the COVID-19, our research group organized two online workshops instead of normal lecture series: one for group members to share their textual work up-to-date, the other for an extended group of scholars to exchange ideas beyond the Indian traditions. Both sessions were mainly convened by Prof. Zhou Liqun, which turned out to be highly appreciated by every participant. Therefore, we plan to continue with more in the coming new year.
The purpose of the first workshop is to update each other, within the project group, what we have done in the past year. Research fellows residing at different continents were able to join the discussion through WeMeet. Dr. Wang Lina (National Library, Peking University Research Center for Buddhist Texts and Art) and Prof. Shen Liyan (Nankai University) gave the opening remarks. Then, ten scholars presented their current work (Fu Chong, Hua Liyu, Chen Lilin, Duan Nan; Zhu Chengming, Zhuang Jing, Chi Mingzhou, Wu Weilin, Li Can, Zhou Liqun), which form two thematic parts of the workshop: a) Translation and research of the classical arts and literary theories in Sanskrit texts; b) New approaches to Indological and Buddhist Studies. The presentations covered a wide range of topics, from Sanskrit philosophy of grammar to modern guruśiṣya system in music education, from poetry to visual arts, Buddhist scriptures to Indian astronomy. The workshop ended with a heated discussion among the sixteen members who participated the meeting, towards a consistent translation of terms, and potential collaborations.
