Workshop "Animism Today"
Monday-Tuesday, October 21-22, All-Day
Rob Gym 1005
Presented by the Department of Religious Studies
In Japan, the term “animism” is used with positive connotations when describing widespread forms of Japanese religiosity and, to an extent, cultural identity. In this workshop, visiting scholars from Japan and UCSB faculty will explore some contemporary cultural formations defined in Japan as expressions of “animism.”
