Literature, Arts and Religions in a Post-Secular Horizon: Review of the 13th Summer Institute on Theology and Humanities

 

Abstract:


Within a thematic framework of the “Post-Secular Horizon,” participating scholars presented papers in a wide range of disciplines, from religious philosophy, biblical studies, cultural studies and comparative literature to Sinological studies. This review summarizes the major concerns and issues raised during the Institute, including post-secularity, ethics, critical theory, religious cinema, theological aesthetics, natural writings, literary figure studies, studies on (meta-)language, missionary Sinology, translation studies, comparative classical studies and post-structuralist theories. The Summer Institute demonstrated the best of academic efforts to reflect on the post-secular human and to engage with various questions in literature, arts and religion.
