Research

Dr. Fan Lin’s broad interest revolves around the relationship between word and image, with particular foci on (1) the production and circulation of Song maps and mapmaking knowledge in the Song dynasty, and (2) the spatial logic of religious paintings on the Vimalakirti Sutra, Lotus Sutra and Nirvana Sutra in medieval Buddhist caves.
Another project that Dr. Lin is currently engaged in is a study and translation of The Grand Commentary to the Book of Documents (with Dr. Griet Vankeerberghen). This project seeks to present a textual history of the SSDZ through an in-depth study of all its surviving versions and to produce an annotated translation of the text.

Supervision

I am willing to supervise MA theses on Chinese art in general. For PhD students, I am especially interested in supervising projects on visual culture, urban culture and Buddhist art in early and medieval China.
