"This anthology is an edited selection of some of the contributions to the cross-cultural dialogue, organised during the Images of Asia festival, which took place in Denmark in August and September 2003. Images of Asia aimed at varying Danish perceptions of contemporary Asia and at strengthening understanding, cooperation, and dialogue.... The 17 contributions come from South Asia, South East Asia and East Asia, and are [by] artists, journalists, scientists, educators, politicians, diplomats, and civil society activists. Each offers his or her specific, subjective perspective on cultural changes in contemporary Asia." --from the Preface by Olaf Gerlach Hansen, director, Danish Center for Culture and Development The contributions to this anthology mirror the many fundamental changes affecting a variety of Asian countries seen in the arts, media, civil society, and cultural economy.

This collection offers a challenge to any simple understanding of the role of images by looking at aspects of the reception of image worship that have only begun to be studied, including the many hesitations that Asian religious traditions expressed about image worship. Written by eminent scholars of anthropology, art history, and religion with interests in different regions (India, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia), this volume takes a fresh look at the many ways in which images were defined and received in Asian religions.
