En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the intersection of Indian visual culture and cognitive science, this book contextualizes Tantric imagery through classical Indian aesthetics and contemporary Western philosophy. It employs theories of metaphor, metonymy, and cognitive blend to analyze myth and image formation, while also applying the classical concept of rasa to decode opaque visuals. This unique approach offers fresh insights into Indian cultural materials, bridging traditional aesthetics with modern cognitive theories to enhance understanding of visual expression.
