David Mozina: Ritual and Relationship in Daoist Practice

CHINA HUMANITIES

SPEAKER: David Mozina, Scholar of Chinese Religion

David J. Mozina studies living Daoist and Buddhist ritual traditions in Hunan province in south China, and the roots of those traditions in the liturgical vibrancy of the Song, Yuan, and early Ming periods (tenth–fifteenth centuries) and in the religious traditions of the late imperial period (sixteenth–nineteenth centuries). He is especially interested in phenomenological and semiotic approaches to ritual; in the relationship between ritual and material culture (i.e., talismans, liturgical implements, religious art); and in different ways of combining historical and ethnographic research.
