Cíle předmětu
This course is an introduction to the study of Chinese religions, and consists of two parts: methods and issues. As regards methods, we will look at three significant approaches: phenomenology of religion; sociology of religion; and anthropology of religion, with each related to the religions of China.. These lectures will be followed by a discussion giving an overview of the problems of writing and re-writing Chinese religions in Taiwan. As regards issues,, we will consider religion as embodied in social, economic, and political processes, and we will connect Chinese religious ideas and practices to issues such as ,,gods, ancestors, and ghosts; ,,women, family, and kinship; ,,death, ritual, and afterlife; ,,religion and modernity; and ,,religion and globalization. By applying a range of theoretical approaches to the various issues, the course will be of potential interest to a wide range of students, and will stimulate new interactions between disciplines. This will help to develop new spaces for dialogue and understanding of Chinese religious ideas and practices.
