Bryan Cuevas's project explores the politics of Tibetan war magic from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, leading up to and following the establishment of the office of Dalai Lama and the formation of a centralized Tibetan state. His research will look at the political uses of magic, the links between religion, violence, and war, and the role of religious ritual in the construction of sociopolitical identities.
