Lecture by Dr Elisa Iori (University of Erfurt) on "Spatialising Buddhist Practices in Urban Spaces: A 'City-Lens' Approach" as part of the Monday Lectures in Religious, Social and Cultural Studies.

By moving beyond the walls of monumental religious architecture, this talk adopts a city-lens approach to the investigation of lived Buddhism in the third-century cities of northern Gandhara. Based on the evidence available for the city of Barikot (Swat, N Pakistan), the layered complexity of urban religiosity is approached here through a contextual analysis of the built-up environment and intra-site spatial distribution of religious artefacts.
