| Description | The text deals with Euro-American fascination by Tibet. Earlier in the history, Tibet was seen in a rather negative context, mediated first of all by reports of Christian missionaries or by biased ideological interpretations. For today s "Western" view idealisation is typical, and it is represented in films, music and literature. In theory we can speak of the phenomenon of "Orientalism" in the reflection of Tibetan Buddhism, which is projected into films (Kundun, Seven Years in Tibet, The Cup, Himalaya-Caravane, Little Buddha etc.) |
