TEXTS
Both Buddhism and Christianity rely on religious texts as an important part of their history, beliefs, and practices. Rich perspectives can be gained when we look at one another’s texts through our respective tradition’s eyes. Often we find rich resonances. We also find provocative differences.

Specimen Daze: Whitman’s Photobiography, p. 477
Sean Meehan
Whitman’s use of photography throughout his career plays a key role in the conception of his work’s autobiographical nature. Focusing on and around his prose autobiography Specimen Days (1882), this essay argues that Whitman incorporates photography (in both image and word) to produce a faithful version of his autobiography, but at the same time, that Whitman writes with an understanding of the dy-namic play of the process of photographic representation that serves to question the accuracy and completion presumed in photographs. In Specimen Days, Whitman thus uses photography against its own positivist grain, provoking the recognition of the relationship between the positive identity represented and the means of its representation.

The Incantation of Semar Smiles: A Tarling Musical Drama by Pepen Efendi
Translated and introduced by Matthew Isaac Cohen, p. 139
Many of the rich cultures of Indonesia have yet to receive adequate attention by scholars. This translation of “The Incantation of Semar Smiles” provides an introduction to one of these genres–tarling, performed primarily in north-coastal West Java. This musical melodrama, with book, lyrics, and music by Pepen Effendi and released by the audiocassette company Prima in 1994, represents a new development in the history of the theatrical form. Dialogue for all previous live stage productions and recordings is largely improvised and songs are stock. In contrast, Fendi’s operetta of jilted love and magical revenge is almost completely prescripted and musically through-composed.

Virginia Woolf, Leslie Stephen, Julia Margaret Cameron, and the Prince of Abyssinia: An Inquiry into Certain Colonialist Representations, p. 323
Panthea Reid
Only a fragment of Virginia Woolf’s 1940 account of the 1910 “Dreadnought Hoax” has survived. Her brother Adrian Stephen has little to say about her involvement. Thus her masquerade as a prince of Abyssinia has been open to wildly varied readings. However, a chain of connections between the political journalism of her father, Leslie Stephen, the photography of her great-aunt, Julia Margaret Cameron, nineteenth-century Anglo-Abyssinian history, and Virginia’s 1910 work on her first novel, The Voyage Out, provides documentary evidence for the reasons behind her disguise. This evidence suggests that Virginia was aware of ways in which Abyssinians had been well- and mis-represented in words and images (some of which are reproduced here). The Abyssinian disguise which she and others adopted, then, can be read as a protest against colonialist stereotypes of Africans and as an expression of solidarity with a princely victim of English imperialism.
