Lieu: L522, College of Liberal Arts, Tamkang University

Résumé :
A journey at sea, no matter how long or short, is always accompanied by a varying degree of danger. Over time, a number of specialised rituals and other particular religious practices have manifested themselves in the maritime world. This talk will highlight a number of analytical categories within which this subject can be studied. The study crosses chronological, geographical and cultural boundaries in order to provide as broad an overview as possible.
