Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Goals
The course explores the following broad topics and questions:
 The heritageisation of religious places and its connection to religious tourism. Is this a revival of religion or a tool used by governments to manage religious sites?
 What are the cultural, social, and political phenomena reinforcing religious tourism?
 Is the visiting of religious heritage a form of spirituality or consumerism?
 The museification of religious artefacts. Does their function change once objects are collected and exhibited in museums?

Main themes
This introductory course focuses on examples from Japan, Korea, and China, and their religious traditions.
1. The transformation of religious places and objects into heritage. Opening questions
2. Religious heritage tourism. Case study: Buddhist temple-stay programs
3. Tensions between religious traditions and rituals, and heritage management principles. Case study: the ritual reconstruction of Shintō shrines and Buddhist temples, and the debate about the authenticity of built heritage.
4. Religious objects as museum artefacts. Case study: East Asian Buddhist statues
5. Religious rituals designated as intangible heritage. Case studies: Ancestor worship in South Korea; Shamanic rituals in South Korea
