What Can Narratives Do? (Contact: Marta Sanvido, marta.sanvido@yale.edu)

This panel invites presentations exploring how, in Buddhist contexts—especially from China to Japan—narratives serve as a space to reconsider, rethink, and sometimes subvert ritual protocols, gender norms, conceptions of the afterlife, and non-human ontology.
