  • The relics of the Southeast Asian civilizations in the first phase are found with the relics from India, China, and even further West of Persia and Rome. These relics are the historic marks of the ancient interactions of various continents, mainly through the maritime trade. The traces of the indic culture, which appears in the historic age, are represented in the textual records and arts, regarded as the essence of the India itself. The ancient Hindu arts found in various locations of Southeast Asia were thought to be transplanted directly from India. However, Neither did the Gupta Hindu Art of India form the mainstream of the Gupta Art, nor did it play an influential role in the adjacent areas. The Indian culture was transmitted to Southeast Asia rather intermittently than consistently. If we thoroughly compare the early Hindu art of India and that of Southeast Asia, we can find that the latter was influenced by the former, but still sustained Southeast Asian originality. The reason that the earliest Southeast Asian Hindu art is discovered mostly in continental Southeast Asia is resulted from the fact that the earliest networks between India and the region were constructed in this region. Among the images of Hindu gods produced before the 7th century are Shiva, Vishnu, Harihara, and Skanda(the son of Shiva), and Ganesha(the god of wealth). The earliest example of Vishnu was sculpted according to the Kushan style. After that, most of the sculptures came to have robust figures and graceful proportions. There are a small number of images of Ganesha and Skanda. These images strictly follow the iconography of the Indian sculpture. This shows that Southeast Asians chose their own Hindu gods from the Hindu pantheon selectively and devoted their faiths to them. Their basic iconography obediently followed the Indian model, but they tried to transform parts of the images within the Southeast Asian contexts. However, it is very difficult to understand the process of the development of the Hindu faith and its contents in the ancient Southeast Asia. It is because there are very few undamaged Hindu temples left in Southeast Asia. It is also difficult to make sure that the Hindu religion of India, which was based on the complex rituals and the caste system, was transplanted to Southeast Asia, because there were no such strong basis of social structure and religion in the region. "Indianization" is an organized expansion of the Indian culture based on the sense of belonging to an Indian context. This can be defined through the process of transmission and progress of the Hindu or Buddhist religions, legends about purana, and the influx of various epic expression and its development. Such conditions are represented through the Sanskrit language and the art. It is the element of the Indian culture to fabricate an image of god as a devotional object. However, if we look into details of the iconography, style, and religious culture, these can be understood as a "selective reception of foreign religious culture." There were no sophisticated social structure yet to support the Indian culture to continue in Southeast Asia around the 7th century. Whether this phenomena was an "Indianization" or the "influx of elements of Indian culture," it was closely related to the matter of 'localization.' The regional character of each local region in Southeast Asia is partially shown after the 8th century. However it is not clear whether this culture was settled in each region as its dominant culture. The localization of the Indian culture in Southeast Asia which acted as a network connecting ports or cities was a part of the process of localization of Indian culture in pan-Southeast Asian region, and the process of the building of the basis for establishing an identity for each Southeast Asian region.

  • Textiles in Bali have traditionally played a vital role in the social economic and religious life of the people. Textiles defined the status of the individual in term of both costume and wealth. Use of the various textiles is in Balinese tradition dictated primarily by rules of the Hindu-Balinese faith. Cloths and clothing are employed in worship of God and the ancestors. Gold songket patterned textiles are perceived as symbol of wealth and prestige and provide a fitting display of affluence at important cerenlonial events. The specialized pieces of clothing, temple banners and hangings are unique to each tribal group ranging from weft -patterned textiles in Bali. The impact of Indian ideas and techniques was important in the field of textiles, and many of the characteristics in Bali's fabric design derived from Hindu-Buddhist mythology that has furnished subject-matter for songket textile art. The purpose of this study is to examine the background of Balinese culture and to define the characteristics of Hindu-Balinese textiles. The songket textile design also analyzes by examing the techniques of songket weaving and the meaning of design, pattern, and motif. Many design and motifs convey important messages significant only to those familiar with the particular social religious principle of people who have produced them. It is only by seeing cloths in their cultural context that we can begin to understand their true value and meaning.

  • This essay is for a study on the survey of buddhist cultural literary document about the Southeast Asia by Nanqishu(南齊書), Liangshu(梁書), Chiu T'angshu(舊唐書), Hsin T'ang shu(新唐書) which are included in the Chinese Official History and Jí-shénzhōu-sānbăo-găntōng-lù(集神州三寶感通錄), Weioshu Shilao Ji (魏書 釋老志). These documents allows us to imagine next some historical states. First, these documents are recording this area, especially Funan, as a plentiful diggings of gold, silver, tin, copper, etc. These are important materials for gilt bronze sculptures. Further, this local produced gold called 'Yangmai(楊邁)' is recognized as same as Zĭmòjīn(紫磨金) in china, and these documents explains the process of producing the bronze images and golden ornaments in Southeast Asia. Specially, this plentiful materials leads them to make a 10 wei(圍) tall golden-silver image which worshiped as hindu god or sometimes buddhist images. Second, Vietnam and Funan in Northern and Southern Dynasty periods were in antagonistic relationship not only in the political but also in religious between Vietnamese Hinduism and Funan's Buddhism. Under this situation, the monk Nagaxian(那伽仙) who had came from India was accredited to Southern Qi court as a delegate to build a good relationship by the common religion Buddhism. It means the Buddhism of Southeast Asia also took a role of diplomacy. Third, these documents proved the active Southeast Asian cultural exchange in early 3th century. At this time, Funan delegate Suwu(蘇物) visited the court of Kushan Dynasty in India and he is seemed to travel the city of Pātaliputra. It oppressed us to extend our outlook which have been restricted in the relationship between Southern india and Southeast Asia to more broaden area. In addition, the buddhist art of Southern India and Bodhgaya temple was imported to Southeast Asia directly to send to Southern China. For example, the wooden buddha image, Bodhgaya stupa image, and Sri Lanka style's buddha images are looked be introduced to Southern China at this time throughout the Southeast Asia. At last, we got to know that the court music of Kucha in the northern silk route was imported to the Southeast Asia in early middle age. Even it may be introduced by China, but this document is very important to make the surmise is not unreasonable that the buddhist culture of northern silk route imported to the Southeast Asia accompanied with Kucha music. The buddha images in Gandharan style which are excavated from some site of Southeast Asia may demonstrate this literary sources is authentic.

  • 본 논문의 취지는 네 명의 여성사례에서 출현한 섬 이미지를 중심으로 자율적으로 기능하는 객체적인 정신의 역동성을 조명하기 위한 것이다. 이론적 배경으로 '섬'에 대한 심리학적 정의를 하고 섬이 지형학적인 차원의 의미가 아닌 감정적 형태로 표현되는 무의식적 콤플렉스의 표현 임을 부각하면서 창조신화의 상징적인 의미가 우주 시작에 관한 것에 머물지 않고 한 개인의 세상에 대한 깨달음의 시작으로 보는 폰 프란츠의 문헌을 소개한다. 이어서 자아콤플렉스의 출현이 섬이나 군도의 출현과 같다는 융의 문헌과, 연금술적으로 본 섬 출현의 의미는 뭔가 땅과 같은 물질로 굳히는 응고작업으로 자아영역과 연결되는 것으로 보는 문헌들을 소개한다. 그 외에도 힌두창조신화와 한국의 창조신화 <설문대할망>과 <산 이동설화> 중 연관되는 자료들을 소개하고 섬 출현 현상이 개개인의 의식성의 진화에서 다양한 형태로 나타나지만 '의식성의 배아' 라는 보편성이 있다는 관점을 제시하고 이를 임상사례에 적용한다. 사례 네 명 모두 중년여성들로서 A B C D라고 칭한다. 사례 A : 물 안개 속에 있는 거대한 수룡(水龍)을 발로 차서 죽이자 그 몸이 섬으로 변하는 꿈을 소개하고, 원초적인 존재의 표현이자 자율적인 무의식의 모체가 되는 수룡(水龍)이 가지는 메리쿠리우스의 영적인 측면과, 에스키모의 창조주가 물 속 괴물을 퇴치하고 그 시체로 섬을 만들었다는 신화 <독수리의 선물>과, 설문대할망, 그리고 바빌로니아 영웅 마르둑이 용의 형태를 한 티아마트를 발로 차서 죽인 후 우두머리 신이 되는 것과 연관하여 수룡이 섬이 되는 것을 사례가 경험하고 있는 우울(니그레도)로 볼 수 있는 원초적인 존재가 자아의 영역으로 육화되는 것과 관련이 있다고 보았다. 사례 B : 분석후반 모래상자에서 연속적으로 나타난 여섯 개의 섬의 이미지를 소개하기 앞서 분석초기에 나타난 연금술적인 '소 합일(신비의 분유)' 와 비견할 수 있는 거대한 뱀에 온몸이 휘감기는 꿈을 소개한다. 모래놀이에서 출현한 일련의 섬 이미지들은 신비의 분유 (플레로마) 상태에서 벗어나 굳은 땅이라 할 수 있는 자아영역을 창출하는 것으로 보았다. 섬을 단단하게 만들고 바다와의 경계도 확실하게 하는 견고한 땅을 만드는 현상을 융의 <죽은 자를 위한 설법>에서 언급되는 플레로마 (태초의 혼돈)가 크레아투르 (섬)가 되는 현상과 연관하였다. 사례 C : 일회적인 경험이라도 집중을 할 때 나타난 '섬' 이 정신적인 안정감을 준다는 점을 과도적인 혼란을 경험하던 여성을 통하여 소개한다. 적극적 상상에서 핏빛 하늘, 아래 검은 지평선 그리고 그 위의 작은 무엇에 집중하자 바위섬이 되고 그림을 그리면서 식물이 생기고 작은 섬 하나가 추가 되는 과정을 소개한다. 우유바다를 저어서 버터가 나오듯 세상이 만들어졌다는 힌두창조신화, 물속에서 흙을 건져 올려 섬을 만들었다는 체로키 원주민들의 창조신화, 창조주가 서있던 바위가 자라나 세상이 되었다는 사모아 창조신화, 그리고 산이 자라났다는 마이산의 전설을 사례와 연관시킨다. 또한 색상을 영혼의 울림이지 내면의 요구의 표현이라고 본 켄딘스키와 무의식적인 내용물에 형태가 부여될 때 안정감을 느끼게 된다는 융의 자서전을 인용한다. 사례 D : 임박한 죽음에 대하여 극심한 불안감을 호소하던 말기암환자의 섬 관련 꿈과 그것을 작품화한 후 편안하게 죽음 맞이한 경우를 소개하면서 불멸성과 최종적인 응고 (육화)의 상징으로서의 '섬' 의 의미를 논한다. 산 꼭대기에서 솟아난 물이 그 주변을 바다로 만든 섬(산) 꼭대기를 온 몸으로 껴안고 있었던 것과 위의 물이 아래의 물과 다르지 않다고 연상한 점에서 '하나의 물' 과 <현자의 장미원>의 <메리크리우스의 샘>과 연관하였다. 관련되는 연금술적인 문헌을 토대로 이 '영원한 물' 은 신성의 의미를 가진다는 것으로 마감한다.
