The start of this course is approaching fast! In preparation for the first class, please read "Searching for a place to sit" and translate the section between hooks in the text "Ganbare Bukkyo". Both texts can be found in the folder Course materials. Upload your translation in the folder Weekly assignments, Week 1. We will discuss the article and your assignments in our first meeting next week.
This year, we will focus on the dilemmas faced by temples (and perhaps shrines) in their struggle to survive in "late modernity".
The first class is on Friday 5 September, starting 12:15, at GM111. Please prepare by reading "Searching for a place to sit", uploaded in the folder "Archive" on the Fronter page of this course.
