Wykład online "A New House for the God in Teṅkāśī: Divine Dreams, Revelations and Kings in 15th- and 16th-century Pāṇḍya Inscriptions and Sanskrit Courtly Production"
03.05.2021
dr David Pierdominici Leão (Instytut Orientalistyki UJ): Jaṭilavarman Arikesari Parākrama (1422-1463 CE) is one of the foremost monarchs of the later phase of the Pāṇḍya dynasty, ruling from an ‘exiled’ kingdom in the Tirunelveli district (Tamil Nadu). His reign marked the apogee and the splendour of the 15th-century Pāṇḍya court, despite the undisputed dominion of the Vijayanagara Empire (1336-1565) in the South. The sovereign is acknowledged to have built the majestic complex of the Kāśīviśvanātar temple in Teṅkāśī; its building circumstances and phases are testified to by three important Tamil inscriptions. In the epigraphical narrative, Śiva appeared in a dream to the King and commanded to build for him a new house in the Tamil land. The same episode is retold by a 16th- century Sanskrit mahākāvya, the Pāṇḍyakulodaya, authored by Maṇḍalakavi. In this ‘historical’ poem, the author sensibly modified the narrative sequence, charging the event and Arikesari’s action with a completely different value than the inscriptions, which are so centred on the divine intervention.

Wykład online "W drodze na tron królestwa literatury. Kobiety w indyjskiej sztuce skupienia"
07.03.2021
dr Hermina Cielas (Instytut Orientalistyki UJ): Początki awadhany (avadhāna – „koncentracja”), wciąż praktykowanej indyjskiej sztuki performatywnej opartej na umiejętności osiągnięcia nadzwyczajnego skupienia, sile ludzkiej pamięci, kreatywności i wielozadaniowości, datować można przynajmniej na XII-XIII wiek. Od stuleci ci, którym udaje się pomyślnie przejść przez stawiane przed nimi w trakcie występu zadania, zdobywają tytuł awadhaniego (avadhānī), będący gwarancją sukcesu i wysokiego statusu społecznego. Jedynie nielicznym kobietom udało się dołączyć do tego grona.

Authorship attribution and authorship verification in Indology: traditional philology and computational stylometry
25.09.2019
Prof. Ivan Andrijanić (University of Zagreb): The term stylometry, as introduced by Polish philosopher and philologist Wincenty Lutosławski in 1890, implies the measurement of textual stylistic affinities in order to address different literary issues such as authorship, chronology, or text-history. In authorship studies, the stylistic characteristics of a text of unknown authorship are compared to the determined profiles of known authors. This type of categorisation is usually referred to as authorship attribution in authorship studies. In the past 30 years, computational stylometrics has seen significant progress and numerous techniques have been proposed, culminating in machine-learning classification models. In authorship attribution studies, authorial profiles are selected and compared to the profile of a text by an unknown or disputed author in order to identify a matching candidate.

"Phenomenology and Hermeneutics. Mircea Eliade and the magic of interwar years in Bucharest"
02.05.2019
Prof. Mihaela Gligor (Rumuńska Akademia Nauk): Mircea Eliade, was one of the most influential scholars of religion of the 20th century and one of the world’s foremost interpreters of religious symbolism and myth. Nowadays Eliade is more studied than ever. Whether one refers to his literary or scientific works, or to his journalistic works from the inter-war period, and his political shift towards the extreme right, Eliade - his oeuvre as well as his personal life - is still taken up by specialists and the public.
From 1934 until the middle of 1938, Mircea Eliade worked as an unpaid assistant to Nae Ionescu, Professor of Metaphysics and Logic at the University of Bucharest. For Eliade, this interval was, as Mac Linscott Ricketts recognizes, “a period of maturation and success [...], in his work as a writer of fiction and religious historian”. The lecture will be focused on Mircea Eliade’s Romanian past and his intellectual evolution during the period 1934-1938.

"Morally questionable episodes in Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa"
02.05.2019
Prof. Krešimir Krnic (Uniwersytet w Zagrzebiu): One of the usual epithets which Vālmīki uses exclusively to describe the epic hero of the Rāmāyaṇa is dharmabhṛtām varaḥ -the most righteous one, the best among those who are righteous. Righteousness is Rāma’s characteristic attribute. But there are a few places even in the original Vālmīki's epic that make us wonder why this paragon of the righteousness has made certain actions. We will explore a couple of these places and put it on the balance with the usual side of Rāma's character. We will see that, at least for our standards, some of Rāma's actions are morally questionable, and that they deserve good attorney to be accepted as the deeds of the one who is supposed to be the role-model for many. So besides listing the questionable episodes, we will have a look also in the traditional defence of them from the mouth of some of Rāmāyaṇa commentaries.
