englischReligions design specific gender images and transport them into society through a variety of visual media. Kristin H. Purfürst focuses on designs of female role models in Thai Buddhist temple paintings and inquires about the emergence of female stereotypes in a process of mutual influence between religion and society.

At the same time, the volume provides a basic set of methodological tools for the analysis of visual non-verbal sources from a religious studies perspective. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the problem, topics of gender studies, Southeast Asian religious and art history as well as the methodology of religious studies are linked for the first time.
