        <![CDATA[
        <p class="resume" dir="ltr">Cet article étudie la perception que les Mongols ont de Kangxi (Mong. Engke Amu<span style="letter-spacing:-8.0E-4in;">γu</span>lang r. 1662-1722), deuxième empereur de la dynastie mandchoue des Qing, à travers des histoires et des représentations visuelles. Loin de le présenter en despote étranger opprimant son peuple, les Mongols le considéraient comme un souverain parfaitement légitime, voire même, comme un empereur mongol. Bien que la plupart de ces légendes, collectées par des ethnographes et des folkloristes dans la deuxième moitié du <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">xx</span><sup>e</sup> siècle, ne puissent généralement pas être datées, cet article tente de comprendre d’où viennent ces histoires, comment et dans quel milieu elles ont circulé, et quelle est la responsabilité du pouvoir impérial dans la transmission d’images positives de Kangxi. La comparaison avec des histoires semblables qui circulaient en Chine, et en particulier sur la montagne bouddhique du Wutaishan, permettra de montrer dans quelle mesure les Mongols les ont reprises, transformées, amalgamées et prolongées.</p>]]>

      <title>The representation of the Mongolian shaman deity Dayan Deerh in invocations and in a Buddhist scroll painting</title>

        <![CDATA[
        <p class="abstract" dir="ltr">The material discussed here is part of the records of the Hungarian-Mongolian Expedition for the Research on Dialects and Folk Culture. One of the main aims of the expedition was to investigate the relics of the traditional Mongolian folk culture and to document its present-day tran<a id="InMacro"></a><a id="bkmInMacro"></a>sformation. The folk religious practices are vivid among many ethnic groups in Mongolia and their pantheon is a remarkable cultural phenomenon. Dayan Deerh is one of the best known deities, even beyond the boundaries of the region where it is worshipped (Cagaan Üür in Hövsgöl province). The present paper is based on fieldwork material and investigates the living tradition of Dayan Deerh’s worship, comparing an illustrated source (a Buddhist thangka painting) and the oral tradition (shamanic invocations).</p>]]>

      <title>Skirting the Bodhisattva: Fabricating Visionary Art</title>
      <link>http://emscat.revues.org/index1803.html</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[
        <p class="abstract" dir="ltr">This essay explores the image-text relationship between the ca. 12-century monumental Maitreya bodhisattva sculpture within a narrow tower in the village of Mangyu and passages from the <em>Gaṇḍavyūha Sūtra</em>. Paintings on the <em>dhotī </em>of the sculpture resemble themes described within a <em>kūtāgāra</em>-tower in the text related to Maitreya, and also depict one of the prominent <em>jātaka</em> associated with the Buddha, the Starving Tigress, or Vyāghrī <em>jātaka</em>. The essay suggests the <em>jātaka</em> was deployed to demonstrate Maitreya’s recapitulation of the course of Śākyamuni’s path of self-sacrifice, and that the resemblance between text and image was intentional on the part of the 12th-century builders in Ladakh, on the far western reaches of cultural Tibet.</p>]]>

      <title>Le chamanisme aujourd’hui : constructions et déconstructions d’une illusion scientifique</title>

        <![CDATA[
        <p class="resume" dir="ltr">Les mots « chamane » et « chamanisme » s’emploient couramment comme concepts, mais ils sont u<a id="InMacro"></a><a id="bkmInMacro"></a>tilisés de multiples façons, souvent dans un sens si général qu’ils ne définissent rien de précis. D’après l’auteur, la question est de savoir si « chamane » et « chamanisme » sont véritablement utiles comme concepts comparatifs. Il conclut que le temps est venu d’abandonner ces termes, à l’exception des contextes où ils sont utilisés comme auto-désignation.</p>]]>

      <title>The Horse-Riding and Target-Shooting Contest for Lay Officials (drung ’khor rtsal rgyugs): Reflections on the Military Identity of the Tibetan Aristocracy at the Beginning of the 20th Century</title>
      <link>http://emscat.revues.org/index1850.html</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[
        <p class="abstract" dir="ltr">Based on autobiographical written and oral accounts by Tibetan aristocrats, this article aims to discuss the Horse-Riding and Target-Shooting Contest for Lay Officials (<em>drung ’khor rtsal rgyugs</em>). Its origins, its evolutions during the first half of the 20th century, and its significance help to understand the link between the Tibetan aristocracy and the military domain. Though the Tibetan aristocracy was mainly an administrative elite and can therefore not be described as exercising a “defensive function” during this period, there are elements indicating a privileged relationship with the army. The permanence of this compulsory contest in the 20th century might be explained by its symbolic efficiency in linking the aristocracy to Tibet’s military glorious past and to a past probably, more warlike identity.</p>]]>
