Abstract

초록 · 키워드 목차 오류제보하기 This paper examines the historical background behind the recent surge in the scholarly interest in "Buddhist talismans," the talismans made and used in the Buddhist context. Although talismans formed an essential part of Buddhist practice in East Asia, the study of Buddhist talismans has remained an intellectual hiatus for a long time. As Buddhologists began to more actively study various Buddhist practices rather than doctrines and scriptures in the early 21st century, things and monuments used for Buddhist practices became new objects of study in the field of Buddhology. In the larger picture, this change is related to the "material turn" that has impacted the humanities and social science since the 1990s. The "material turn" is an academic movement that examines the ways in which things affect human action and society. Bruno Latour"s (1947-present) Actor-Network Theory and Graham Harman"s (1968-present) Object-Oriented Ontology and Speculative Realism have contributed significantly to promoting this movement. With these academic changes, Buddhologists and art historians are now paying more scholarly attention to diverse materials as well as texts used outside canonical Buddhism. With such changes, "Buddhist talismans" have become an excellent tool to illuminate the actual practices done by premodern Buddhists and to reveal the porous boundary between Buddhism, Daoism, and shamanism. The Buddhist talismans included in the medieval Dunhuang manuscripts have been discussed by some leading scholars abroad. On the other hand, Buddhist talismans excavated from Buddhist statues and tombs from Koryŏ and Chosŏn have little been known outside of Korea. Because some of the Buddhist talismans used in Koryŏ show connections with those included in the Dunhuang manuscripts, they will be an appropriate object to explore from the perspective of global history. By adopting the global historical approach, we will be able to avoid the pitfall of simply assuming the latter as the origins of the former. Instead, we should consider them as traces of the extensive network of Asian Buddhist talismans that once covered a large area from west China to the Korean peninsula. #불교부적 #지구사 #물질적 전회 #고려 #다라니 #Buddhist talisman #global history #material turn #Koryŏ #dhāraṇī 머리말1. 국제적 흐름에서 살펴본 불교부적 연구의 타당성2. 국내외 불교부적 연구 현황3. 한국 불교부적 출토 및 수집 현황4. 한국 불교부적의 융합적 연구방법 모색5. 한국 불교부적의 지구사적 연구방법 모색맺음말참고문헌Abstract
