Dear List members,
 
please find here information about a new publication on Indology:

Art, Myths and Visual Culture 
of South Asia. 
Edited by Piotr Balcerowicz in collaboration with Jerzy 
Malinowski. 
Manohar Publishers, Delhi 2011.

Description:
The 
volume presents a collection of papers linked by a common theme which 
incorporates various aspects of art, religion, myths, symbols, literature and 
visual culture of the region of South Asia, but in certain aspects goes beyond 
the geographical boundaries and reaches out to South-East Asia.
The 
collection offers an entirely new material which explores a range of important 
motives and themes concerned with the art and visual culture of the region of 
South Asia, and partially with South-East Asia. They comprise various aspects of 
South Asian art, including sculpture, painting and decorative art, related to 
religious practice, mythology and cult, politics and power as well as the 
history and spread of artistic and mythological motives from South Asia to other 
parts of the world.
