- Cíle předmětu
- The topic of this seminar is the phenomenon of various unofficial religious organizations existing parallel to the state and against the state in Chinese history (late imperial China to the present). The first part of the course focuses on the complex problem of the relations between state and religion in traditional China and shows the variable social and political implications of "secret" religious organization in traditional Chinese culture. The second part of the course addresses the same phenomenon in the modern Chinese and Taiwanese society. At the end of the course the student will be able to: - understand the phenomenon of "secret societies" in Chinese culture - understand and explain the social, political, and economic context of religion in Chinese culture
