Official course description:
The module provides an introduction to and overview of the new religious movements of China since 1850. We will focus in particular on the socio-political and cultural conditions of the emergence of such movements in important phases of the history of modern China. The focus here will be on the Taiping Tianguo movement (late Qing period), Yiguandao (Republican period to present), and Falungong (1990s to present). In addition to the historical perspective, we will also focus on systematic and dynamic aspects of the development of new religious doctrines and practices under conditions of rapid social and cultural change, in-cluding and in particular globalization.
