While considering the invocation of painting in Sanskrit literature (with special reference to the work of K\u0101lid\u0101sa), the essay is particularly concerned with the Buddhist poet A\u015bvagho\u1e63a (fl. 1st-2nd century C.E.) and his use of this trope. As used by A\u015bvagho\u1e63a this trope functions as a figure of figuration, inviting us to think through two questions at once: firstly, what is it to be a human being? And secondly, what are the continuities between the kind of representation the arts of literature and painting make possible? Exploring these questions together\u2014while exploring the place of self-representation in our images of ourselves\u2014I argue that A\u015bvagho\u1e63a carefully modulates his use of such figures of figuration\u2014his invocation of painting in language\u2014to promote a radical model of literary attention or reading, and a radical experience of language.<\/p>\n<p><em>Abstract: Sonam Kachru \/ perspectivia.net<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>durchsichten.achmnt.eu\/m5n2u This essay explores the invocation of painting in a trope of Sanskrit literature which would have it that people can become like painted likenesses of themselves.
