Bøger af Rajyashree Pandey

Presents a study in English of Kamo no Chomei, one of the most important literary figures of medieval Japan. The book offers an original reading of his texts, while at the same time casting a light upon intellectual preoccupations that were central to the times.

Explores the possibilities and limits of terms such as "body", "woman", "gender", and "agency" to analyse texts that come out of altogether different temporal and cultural contexts. Through close textual readings of a wide range of classical and medieval narratives, Rajyashree Pandey offers new ways of understanding such terms within the context of medieval Buddhist knowledge.
