{"product_id":"9783110747256","title":"Digital Humanities and Religions in Asia : An Introduction (Introductions to Digital Humanities - Religion)","description":"\u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eL.W.C. van Lit\u003c\/strong\u003e, Universität Utrecht, Niederlande und \u003cstrong\u003eJames Harry Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e, Waseda Universität, Tokio, Japan.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48848258105579,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":87.87,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783110747256-1.jpg?v=1781719035","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783110747256","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
