Digital Humanities and Religions in Asia : An Introduction Paperback / softback
Edited by L.W.C. van Lit, James Harry Morris
Part of the Introductions to Digital Humanities – Religion series
Paperback / softback
Description
In pre-modern religions in the geographical context of Asia we encounter unique scripts, number systems, calendars, and naming conventions.
These can make Western-built technologies – even tools specifically developed for digital humanities – an ill fit to our needs.
The present volume explores this struggle and the limitations and potential opportunities of applying a digital humanities approach to pre-modern Asian religions.
The authors cover Buddhism, Christianity, Daoism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism and Shintoism with chapters categorized according to their focus on: 1) temples, 2) manuscripts, 3) texts, and 4) social media.
Thus, the volume guides readers through specific methodologies and practical examples while also providing a critical reflection on the state of the field, pushing the interface between digital humanities and pre-modern Asian religions into new territory.
