Religion and Orientalism in Asian Studies analyses the role of
religion in past and present understandings of Asia. Religion, and
the history of its study in the modern academy, has exercised
massive influence over Asian Studies fields in the past century.
Asian Studies has in turn affected, and is increasingly shaping,
the study of religion. Religion and Orientalism in Asian Studies
looks into this symbiotic relationship - both in current practice,
and in the modern histories of both Orientalism and Area Studies.
Each chapter of the book deals with one regional sub-discipline in
Asian Studies, covering Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, Korean
Studies, South Asian Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and Central
Eurasian Studies. The chapters are integrated by shared themes that
run through the past and present practice of Asian Studies,
covering the role of state actors in originating Area Studies, the
role of local scholarship in defining and developing it, the
interaction between humanities and social science approaches,
debates over the dominance of Western and/or modern categories and
frameworks, the interaction of past and present and the role of
religious actors and religious sensibilities in shaping Asian
Studies.
