Whereas the nineteenth-century construction of shūkyō has been critically studied by many, the same critical approach has not been extended to the contemporary context of the Japanese-language discourse on shūkyō and Temple Buddhism. This work aims to unveil the norms and imperatives which govern the utilization of the term shūkyō in the specific context of modern day Japan, with a particular focus upon Temple Buddhism. The author draws on a number of popular publications in Japanese, many of which have been written by Buddhist priests. In addition, the book offers rich interview material from conversations with Buddhist priests. Readers will gain insights into the critical deconstruction, the historicization, and the study of social classification system of 'religion', in terms of its cross-cultural application to the contemporary Japanese context. The book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including Japanese Studies, Buddhology, Religious Studies, Social Anthropology, and Sociology."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000938098 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 23, 2018). 000938098 650_0 $$aBuddhism$$zJapan$$xHistory$$y21st century. 000938098 650_0 $$aReligion and politics$$zJapan$$xHistory$$y21st century. 000938098 7001_ $$aFitzgerald, Timothy,$$d1947-$$ewriter of foreword. 000938098 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319735696 000938098 852__ $$bebk 000938098 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-73570-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000938098 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:938098$$pGLOBAL_SET 000938098 980__ $$aEBOOK 000938098 980__ $$aBIB 000938098 982__ $$aEbook 000938098 983__ $$aOnline 000938098 994__ $$a92$$bISE
