Cultural invisible conitnuity of exchange dynamics, or the areal classification facong reality : the history of a tantric cult between India and China
Résumé
Researchs made on the history and anthropology analysis of the Taoist cult to the Mother of the Dipper (Doumu 斗 姆), a female astral deity that both identity and ritual emerged in the 13th century from the cult to the Tantric goddess of Dawn named Mārīcī (« Ray of Light », Molizhitian 摩 利 支 天), conduct to deal with the hybridation process and cultural framework redrafting of religious symbols and inner meanings through the dialectical and changing frontier between endogenous and exogenous identities and representations within Taoist rituals in China. Thus epistemology quickly reachs here the critical point where concepts of meaning used in areal disciplines cannot rely anymore on fixed terms and notions as the historical process of religious facts is shaped in a continuous movement that overcrosses categories of areal delimitations and institutionalized ethnocultural identification, particularily when it deals within the multicultural changing context of the wide East Asian region during the Silk roads history. Indeed, this observation leads us to think the science of knowledge on « cultural space » and how we build and formulate our object of research in a multi-situated progressive development.
