要旨
The circulation of Buddhist ideas, texts, artistic forms, and individuals gave rise to—and continues to sustain—a network of interconnected yet heterogeneous spaces across Asia and beyond, conceptualized here as a “Buddhist cosmopolis.” This presentation critically explicates the concept of the Buddhist cosmopolis and examines how its circulatory processes and diverse practices may be analyzed within the emerging analytical framework of Global Asia. It focuses in particular on the transmission of knowledge, the dissemination of visual culture, and the movements of missionaries and pilgrims, in order to illuminate both the spatial and ideological linkages that connected distant regions, as well as the distinctive local traditions that emerged across multiple sites. The presentation argues that approaching the Buddhist cosmopolis through the lenses of “convergence,” “divergence,” “entanglements,” and “translocality” yields critical insights into the dynamics of mobility and connectivity central to Global Asian studies. More broadly, it suggests that the concept of the Buddhist cosmopolis enhances our understanding of transregional interactions, the transformative capacities of Buddhist circulatory networks, and the complex spatial and temporal imaginaries generated by Buddhist mobilities over the past two millennia.
