Three Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) in Asian Studies are available at the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of OsloDeadline: February 15, 2019 The PhD candidates will take part in the ERC-funded project Whales of Power: Aquatic Mammals, Devotional Practices, and Environmental Change in Maritime East Asia, led by Aike P. Rots. Whales of Power is concerned with the comparative study of human-cetacean relations in maritime East Asia, as expressed in popular worship practices and beliefs. We will examine several of these traditions in different parts of the region, through a combination of historical and ethnographic research. Marine mammals and associated worship practices will serve as a prism, through which we approach human responses to socio-economic and environmental change in Asian coastal communities. The project has three important theoretical objectives: 1) apply recent theoretical developments associated with environmental humanities to the comparative study of popular religion; 2) reconsider the role of local worship traditions in the Asian Secular Age, examining the new meanings attributed to ritual practices; and 3) establish a new comparative paradigm in Asian studies. Each of the three PhD candidates will be connected to one work package, supervised by the project leader. They will contribute to the main project through their respective case studies. The contents of these work packages are as follows. Prospective candidates should indicate clearly for which of the three positions they are applying. For further information, please refer to the website of University of Oslo. |
