Noelle Giuffrida Discussion

Saturday, July 31, 9:00 am EDT (9:00 pm HKT)

This webinar introduces Advancing Daoism: Epigraphic and Archeological Materials as Sources for Daoist Lived Religion 道教考古石刻研究項目. This multi-year project, funded by the Luce Foundation, aims at advancing the study of Daoism through the use of archaeological and epigraphic materials, including statues, stele inscriptions, cave shrines, temple inscriptions, and inscribed tomb epitaphs. The speakers will introduce and use these understudied material sources to augment canonical textual sources in understanding the social history of Daoism and to explore developments and changes in ritual practices that are often invisible in written records.

Gil Raz 李福 (Dartmouth College): Introduction to Project 

Gil Raz 李福 (Dartmouth College): Stele-Statues and Texts: Two Examples

Bai Bin  白彬 (Sichuan University):  Survey of Sources 

Host:  Richard Wang 王崗 (University of Florida)
