New Open Access Publication by HASP - Among Tibetan Materialities: Materials and Material Cultures of Tibet and the Himalayas

Avatar of Katrin Bender Katrin Bender - 29. Oktober 2025 - Aktuelles

Among Tibetan Materialities, edited by Emma Martin, Trine Brox and Diana Lange makes an intervention into Tibetan studies by critically engaging with material culture. It opens up new sources, methodologies and frameworks for studying, thinking and writing about material culture, materials and materiality in Tibet and the Himalayas. It highlights novel ways that Tibetan and Himalayan worlds can be made relevant beyond their local contexts. Spanning historical and contemporary contexts this collection of ongoing research disrupts current approaches to Tibetan and Himalayan materiality by considering socially constructed materiality and the materials constituting things, from their conception and production to their end of life and afterlife.

The complete PDF of the book as well as the individual chapters are available for free download on our HASP platform. A hardcover edition has also been published and can be purchased from bookstores and online booksellers.
