建構多媒質、多學科的佛學與東亞宗教研究的全球網絡的前景
October 4-6, 2015
It is vital that we advance our understanding of East Asian religions as the economic and political importance of this region increases. As vehicles carrying meaning, apotropaic devices, and objects of devotion in their own right, texts have played a critical role in the interconnected religious, economic, artistic, and scientific life of East Asia. Thanks to discoveries of texts and artifacts and to increased opportunities for ethnographic observation, scholarship over the past decade has enriched our understanding of both historical and contemporary religious phenomena in East Asia. Despite these advances, study in our field still remains divided by boundaries set by national borders, academic disciplines, and sectarian lines. As a result, new evidence is unearthed but not shared widely. Historical connections between seemingly disparate times and places remain obscure. This workshop represents a small step towards breaking through these barriers by bringing together scholars and sources that have not often been in dialogue. Creating a worldwide network of institutions and scholars will allow us to access, record, and interpret material in ways that would be otherwise impossible.
