Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course offers an overview of the main cultural and religious developments which shaped the history of Mongolia from the 13th century till present. During this timespan, indigenous beliefs played a fundamental role in moulding the cultural, social and political context of Mongolia. At the same time, the encounter with foreign religions constituted the background for Mongolia's interaction with their neighbors in Eurasia. The course provides an introduction to the main concepts to understand these dynamics, and is organized around a range of topics such as religious institutions, religious personell and personalities, cultural and religious exchange, materiality and artifacts, epic and literary traditions. Students will also be guided through the main secondary and primary sources for the study of these topics, and the methodological issues related to them.
