The Silk Road: Border Crossing
duolezingen / in het Engels en Frans
The Silk Road: Border Crossing is een initiatief en experiment van het Belgisch
Instituut voor Hogere Chinese Studiën (BIHCS) in samenwerking met de
Educatieve en Culturele dienst en de Diffusion Culturelle van de Koninklijke
Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis (KMKG/MRAH), de KU Leuven, het International Dunhuang Project (IDP, British Library) en geniet de steun van Asian
Art in Brussels (AAB).
Doel van deze reeks duolezingen is mensen even uit hun comfortzone (China)
te halen en hen uit te nodigen tot ’border crossing’. Sprekers en toehoorders
worden meegenomen, niet alleen langs de beter bekende wegen van de
zijderoutes, maar ook aangemoedigd in de confrontatie en dialoog met andere
gebieden die traditioneel niet met China in verband gebracht worden, maar
wel ge-lijkaardige ontwikkelingen gekend hebben. Elke sessie bestaat uit
2x1 uur durende lezingen door specialisten uit verschillende maar verwante
vakgebieden van waaruit ze het onderwerp van de lezing belichten.
Deze unieke format van duolezingen werd uitgedacht en kreeg concreet vorm
dankzij de voorzitter van het BIHCS, sinologe en archeologe, Ilse Timperman,
die de verschillende sessies zal modereren. (Zie volgende pagina’s voor meer

conférences duo/ en anglais et en français
The Silk Road: Border Crossing est une initiative novatrice de l’Institut belge
des hautes études chinoises (IBHEC/BIHC) organisée conjointement avec
les services culturels et éducatifs des Musées royaux d’art et d’histoire
(MRAH/KMKG), le KU Leuven, le International Dunhuang Project (IDP, British
Library) avec le support de Asian Art in Brussels (AAB).
Le but de ces conférences en duo est d’inviter le public à sortir de sa
zone de confort (la Chine) et de participer à ’border crossing’, non seulement
le long des routes de la soie mieux connues, mais également pour les
confronter avec d’autres régions traditionnellement pas liées à la Chine, mais
ayant connu parallèlement des développements similaires. Chaque session
comprendra deux exposés d’une heure par deux spécialistes partageant un
même thème d’analyse, chacun à partir d’une région différente.
Cette méthodologie originale est proposée par la Présidente de l’IBHEC, Ilse
Timperman, sinologue et archéologue, qui assurera la tâche de modératrice
des sessions.(Pour plus de détails, voir pages suivantes)

The Silk Road: Border Crossing is and initiative and experiment of the
Belgian Institute for Advanced Chinese Studies in Brussels (BIHCS/IBHEC),
in co-organisation with the Educational and Cultural Department of the
Royal Museums of Art and History (KMKG/ MRAH), the KU Leuven, the
International Dunhuang Project (IDP), and is supported by Asian Art in
Brussels (AAB).
In this series of duo-lectures the audience is invited to step out of
their comfort zone (China) and participate in ’border crossing’, not only along
the better-known ’silk roads’ but also by confronting them with other areas
that are traditionally not connected with what is now China, and that have
known similar developments. Each session includes a 2x1 hour lecture by two
specialists on different areas but similar topics.
This unique lecture format is designed by the president of the BIHCS/
IBHEC, sinologist and archaeologist, Ilse Timperman, who will moderate the
different sessions. (See next pages for more information)

The Origins of the Silk Road in the Bronze Age:
Connecting Europe and China/India
Dr. Kristian Kristiansen (University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
&
Bronze Age Archaeology in the Taklamakan Desert (Xinjiang, China):
the site of Xiaohe
Dr. Idris Abdurusul (Honorary Director of the Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology,
P.R. China)
During the Bronze Age two wheeled chariots expanded both east and
west of the Urals, as well as south into Mesopotamia/Iran. It represented
the expansion of a new warrior aristocracy based on a pastoral economy,
which reached Xinjiang to the East, and central and northern EUrope to the
west. Material culture, as well as shared religion and rituals speaks of an
interconnected world across western Eurasia during this period. Trade was
also taking place, first and foremost in metals, but most likely also in woolen
textiles, as we find astonishing similarities between Tarim and Europe.
This duo lecture will highlight the archaeology of this formative period of the
later Silk Road. Dr. Kristiansen will do this from a European perspective on
the Bronze Age, while Dr. Abduressul will zoom in on the Bronze Age burial
site of Xiaohe in present-day Xinjiang (P.R. China), where dessicated bodies
with Europoid features clearly attest of western influence.

Early Monasticism and Anchoretic life in Egypt
Dr. Karel Innemée (Leiden University)
&
Early Monasticism on the Eastern Silk Road (Tarim Basin)
Dr. Susan Whitfield (International Dunhuang Project, British Library)
Convergences between the early monastic traditions of Christianity
and Buddhism have been noted previously and possible links between
them discussed, if never proven. Although contacts between the Eastern
Mediterranean and Central Asia are evident from before the Christian Era,
no indications for a Buddhist root of Christian monasticism seems to exist.
Did archaeologists overlook something or do we simply have a case of
independent developments?
This session will juxtapose caves, hermitages, and monastic complexes of
early Christian Egypt with Buddhist stupas, temples and cave temples of the
Taklamakan desert in present-day western China. Two field specialists, one on
Eastern Christian culture and the other historian of China and the Silk Road,
will ensure a unique experience.

Dr. Lukas Nickel (SOAS, University of London)
This session brings together the worlds of Alexander the Great and
more specifically his Hellenistic legacy with that of the First Emperor of China
and his terracotta army. In this controversial but fascinating encounter, the
audience will be able to look at Qin Shihuangdi’s terracotta army from an
entire new and fresh perspective. The speakers of this session include an
expert on ancient Greek art and a specialist in the art history and archaeology
of China and the Silk Road.

The Origins of the Silk Road in the Bronze Age:

Bronze Age Archaeology in the Taklamakan Desert
(Xinjiang, China): the Xiaohe burial site
Dr. Kristian KRISTIANSEN
(University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
Dr. Idris ABDURUSUL

During the Bronze Age two wheeled chariots expanded

in the Lop desert and the Keriya oasis in the southern
Taklamakan desert, both in Xinjiang (P.R. China). Xiaohe

Early Monasticism and Anchoretic life in Egypt
Early Monasticism on the Eastern Silk Road
(Tarim Basin)
Dr. Karel INNEMÉE (Leiden University)
Dr. Susan WHITFIELD (IDP, British Library)
Early monasticism in Egypt was a lay-movement with
a variety in ideals and ways to achieve these ideals. A
common point was abandoning society, possession and
physical pleasure, but for some this meant living an
austere life within a community, while others preferred
complete isolation, sometimes going to extremes when it
came to abstinence and self-imposed asceticism. Avoiding
all passions and everything that could lead to fluctuations in emotional life was high on the agenda of most
anchorites and monks. For the very beginning (3rd 4th centuries) we have mainly textual sources and little
archaeological evidence to corroborate these mostly hagiographical texts. From the late 4th century onwards
more archaeological information is available, illustrating
the variety in ways of living (caves, hermitages, monastic
complexes). The common aim of detachment from the
world and its practical consequences (a complete apatheia
for instance) was not always welcomed by the institutionalised Church. From the middle of the 5th century
on wards we see a gradual incorporation of the monastic
movement into the organisation of the Church, with a
modification of certain ideals as a consequence.
The convergences between the early monastic traditions
of Christianity and Buddhism have been noted previously and possible links between them discussed, if never
proven.
This talk will look at Buddhism as it spread from its
homeland north and east into Central Asia, considering
the growth and practice of monastic communities in the
kingdoms of the Tarim Basin, in present-day western
China. Here the sands of the Taklamakan have preserved
the buried ruins of numerous stupas and temples, while
the foothills of the mountains to the north are dotted with
richly decorated cave temples.
Susan Whitfield will give a brief history of the discovery of these sites before looking at some examples of the
architectural, artistic and textual legacy to consider the
life of Buddhist monks and nuns in these desert oases in
the first millennium AD. Her talk will be illustrated.

Hellenistic Sculpture East and West: Homogeneity Sculpture and the question of contacts between China
and the Hellenistic East
and Diversity
Dr. Judy BARRINGER (The University of Edinburgh)
Dr. Lukas NICKEL (SOAS, University of London)
At the time of Alexander the Great’s death in 323 B.C., virtually the entire known world from Greece eastward was
under his command, a patchwork of disparate cultures,
languages, religions, terrains, and climates. When the
Greek world finally fell under Roman control in 31 B.C.,
this Hellenistic period (c. 323-31 B.C.) had produced
some of the most extraordinary works of sculpture from
the ancient Greek world, when variety itself was a field of
artistic exploration.
In 221 BC the western Chinese state of Qin succeeded in
conquering the last of several competing polities in East
Asia. Its ruler declared himself First Emperor of Qin, Qin
Shi Huangdi. The event that was a turning point in history and laid the foundations of China as we know it today.
One can trace the stamp of Hellenism - its manifestations, uses, and adaptations to local cultures–but as one
moves further east, Greek flavor and style exert a less
assertive influence: Hellenism is present but muted in
deference to local needs, tastes, and traditions.
Judy Barringer received her Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from Yale University in 1990. She holds the position
of Professor of Greek Art and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, where she has been teaching since 2005.
To mark his achievements the First Emperor designed a
new iconography of power. He melted down the weapons
of the defeated armies and cast twelve giant bronze
sculptures which he placed in front of his palace. Thousands more terracotta sculptures of soldiers, acrobats,
and officials as well as bronze animals were made to
equip the chambers of his gigantic tomb. This paper will
examine the extraordinary role sculpture played in the
self-presentation of the empire. As it was a new form of
art in East Asia, there were no local artistic traditions to
draw upon. However, at the time, public and monumental
sculpture was widely employed in Central Asia, by the
Greek colonies in Bactria and the other successor states
to Alexander the Great’s empire. The question arises as
to whether the Emperor did find inspiration and skills
beyond China’s western borders? The lecture investigates
to what extent the emperor’s unprecedented interest in
sculpture may be explained by interactions with the contemporary Hellenistic world.
Her scholarly work centers on the archaeology, art, and
culture of Greece, particularly the intersection between
art, myth, and religion, from the Archaic through Hellenistic periods. More specifically, she is interested in why
