Course objectives (in Czech)
The seminar focuses on various issues concerning the Internet and religion in East Asia and the theories which underlie them. The main goal of the seminar is to make students familiar with the relevant terminology, approaches, and strategies of Internet usage and related contemporary discussions, controversies or trends. We also examine the growing importance of understanding religious concepts for the study of media in East Asian regions. The course is limited to graduate students interested BOTH in new media issues and Asian religions. Students are required to do assigned readings (ca.150 pages/week), present responses to reading (2000-4000 characters/week) and prepare a final paper on a topic determined in consultation with the teacher.
