296 Reports “Transforming Tibetan Anatomy,” Vienna, June 12-13, 2014. A Report KATHARINA SABERNIG This report is based on a symposium held in Vienna at the Institute for Social Anthropology (ISA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (AAS) in coopera- tion with the Department for Tibetan and Buddhist Studies of the University of Vienna. The meeting, organized by the present writer, was concerned with historical, etymological, metaphorical and other as- pects of Tibetan knowledge of the body within the general context of anatomical knowledge in Asia. The initial impulse for organizing such a sympo- sium was the remarkable development of medical texts and institutions in seventeenth-century Tibet The significant progress made at the time is closely connected with the name of Dar-mo sman-rams-pa BLO-BzAnG-CHos-GracGs (1638-1710?), an out- standing physician and anatomist who wrote a num- ber of medical texts and played an important role in advancing the Tibetan medical understanding of the body. Interestingly, similar developments took place in China at around the same period. Jesuits and other Christian missionaries who used anatomi- cal texts and paintings for their own purposes had a stimulating effect on medical knowledge, especially during the later Ming and early Qing Dynasties. These historical developments gave rise to the idea of studying the spread and development of medical knowledge and anatomical depictions in Asia in a broader perspective. Researchers of various disci- plines — physicians, historians, philologists, and an- thropologists endowed with skills in Sanskrit, Tibet- an, Chinese, Korean, Hebrew and even languages written in cuneiform, assembled from Korea, Rus- sia, India, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, England and the United States in order to discuss the scope, transfer and perception of anatomical knowledge in Asia, Some contributions focused on the under- standing of how anatomical knowledge was trans- ferred and transformed across Asia while others presented findings regarding points of contact and transmission. The interdisciplinary symposium was held as part of my project on the anatomical findings of the Tibetan physician mentioned above and has been supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF P 26129-G21). Additional support came from the Institute of Social Anthropology (ISA), the Univer- sity of Vienna, the Medical University of Vienna, the Austrian Ethnomedical Society, and the Padma AG of Switzerland.* Visit to Josephinum and Keynote Within the scope of the cultural side program the participants of the symposium visited a famous his- torical collection of elaborate eighteenth-century anatomical and obstetric wax models, which are permanently exhibited in the Josephinum, home of the Institute for the History of Medicine in Vienna. The following keynote lecture by JANET GYATSO entitled How to map the body—and how it mat- ters, hosted in the historical rooms at the Institute of Medical Ethics, was introduced by CHRISTIANE DRrRUuML, vice rector for clinical affairs and director of the collections of the Medical University of Vienna, and by KLAUS-DIETER MATHEs of the Department for Tibetan and Buddhist Studies. JANET GYATSO exam- ined the conflict between tantric Buddhist and em- pirical corporal perceptions. Anatomical concepts of the differing channels of the human body were contextualized in the light of both the intellectual history of Tibetan medicine and pan-Asian history of culture and medicine. The interesting contrast is described in more detail in her book “Being Hu- man in a Buddhist World: An Intellectual History of Medicine in early Modern Tibet” (Bookreview in Curare 39[2016]1). The panels were arranged in such a way as to approximate Tibetan anatomical knowledge histori- cally, geographically and linguistically. Welcoming speeches were delivered by Prof. KLAUS-DIETER MATHEs and by STEPHAN KLOoOs as a representative of the ISA. These were followed by introductory re- marks on the means and scope of my own project focusing on the anatomical achievements of BLO- BZANG-CHOS-GrRAGs, the medical vocabulary he used in his writings, and a database initiated with the aim of a better understanding of traditional Ti- betan terminology**, * Abstracts of the conference are available online at: http://www.katharinasabernig.at/anatomy-symposium/book-of-abstracts/. ** It is already freely accessible under the address: http://crossasia.org/en/service/lab/tibetanterms.html.
