Index. Throughout history the peoples of Asia have been known for their mobility and interactions. The notion of territorially defined nations is historically recent. There was a continuing dialogue between Asian cultures which functioned at both the spatial and the temporal level propelled by the movement of the great religions of Asia across continents via trading communities clergies Buddhist and Sufi scholars and communities of artisans. The present volume explores the aesthetic theories underlying many genres of the Asian arts. These characterize the dialogue between and amongst different Asian regions. The same Asian notions of space and time are manifested in architectural form as also in a wide variety of visual arts. The contributors in this volume identify the multi layered discourse comprising the nature of monuments as also the movement of motifs and symbols through sculptured and picturised representation. Some essays focus on fundamental notions such as Sunyata as common to the India Korean and other Asian countries Also the papers bear testimony to the phenomena of dialogue and distinctiveness continuity and change. This is evident in architectural structures sculptural forms particularly in iconography and of course in the performing arts. The IIC Asia Project in its second phase has with purpose traced the trajectory of transmission systems in Asian civilization in different domains and at different levels be it the vertical transmission from generation to generation in education or the artistic transmission and diffusion through the arts. This volume will add to the meager literature that exists on the subject and will stimulate further research and study. 396 pp.
