以失恋的鬼魂(Mae Nak)和神奇的僧侣(Somdet To)为中心的故事是泰国佛教的核心。这些角色具有历史意义和情感共鸣,吸引了每一类追随者。它们在比喻和修辞上都很强大,它们会随着时间的推移不断地重新想象。贾斯汀·托马斯·麦克丹尼尔 (Justin Thomas McDaniel) 专注于从 18 世纪晚期到现在的鬼魂和僧侣的表现形式,通过这些变革性人物的动作来解释现代泰国佛教实践。他在传记、电影、电视、戏剧、仪式、艺术、礼仪和互联网等各种流派和媒体中追踪鬼和僧的化身。他寻找修女、僧侣、外行和皇室成员,展示了与这些人物的关系如何在创造历史和现代性方面发挥了重要作用。麦克丹尼尔对当地的“佛教徒”概念以及这种身份在不同场所和技术中的形成和传播特别感兴趣。麦克丹尼尔将个人的“宗教剧目”确立为一个有效的研究范畴,通过魔术、预言、形象制作、神圣保护、神鬼崇拜等实践来探索佛教思想和仪式的表现,并阐明了多种文化配置的含义。 .聆听流行的泰国佛教鬼故事,参观拥挤的神社和寺庙,他发现依恋、爱情、财富、美丽、娱乐、仁慈、安全和民族主义的概念都源于与鬼和僧人的接触,对使泰国佛教成为尊崇佛陀本人。Stories centering on the lovelorn ghost (Mae Nak) and the magical monk (Somdet To) are central to Thai Buddhism. Historically important and emotionally resonant, these characters appeal to every class of follower. Metaphorically and rhetorically powerful, they invite constant reimagining across time.Focusing on representations of the ghost and monk from the late eighteenth century to the present, Justin Thomas McDaniel builds a case for interpreting modern Thai Buddhist practice through the movements of these transformative figures. He follows embodiments of the ghost and monk in a variety of genres and media, including biography, film, television, drama, ritual, art, liturgy, and the Internet. Sourcing nuns, monks, laypeople, and royalty, he shows how relations with these figures have been instrumental in crafting histories and modernities. McDaniel is especially interested in local conceptions of being "Buddhist" and the formation and transmission of such identities across different venues and technologies.Establishing an individual\’s "religious repertoire" as a valid category of study, McDaniel explores the performance of Buddhist thought and ritual through practices of magic, prognostication, image production, sacred protection, and deity and ghost worship, and clarifies the meaning of multiple cultural configurations. Listening to popular Thai Buddhist ghost stories, visiting crowded shrines and temples, he finds concepts of attachment, love, wealth, beauty, entertainment, graciousness, security, and nationalism all spring from engagement with the ghost and the monk and are as vital to the making of Thai Buddhism as venerating the Buddha himself.
