Buddhism, Digital Technology and New Media in Korea introduces Uisang (625-702), a seminal figure in East Asian religion who founded the Korean Hwaom school of Buddhism from various angles and placing his thought in the interdisciplinary and transcultural context of the twenty-first century.
The book presents and analyses the scope of Uisangs teachings in Korean Buddhism through a study of the Ocean Seal Diagram in the context of digital technology and poetics. It studies diverse intersections between Uisangs thought and Western ideas, elucidating the diagrams potential as a meta-theory applicable to various academic fields in view of unprecedented changes in human life brought forth by the digital revolution. Contributors to the book present comprehensive and in-depth analyses of the strikingly dynamic applicability as well as persistent traits of the Ocean Seal Diagram. Inspired by the creative potential of the diagram, the chapters unravel the points of agreement and disagreement between Huayan Buddhism and contemporary Western ideas, promising to take a transregional and transcultural dialogue to the new level suitable to the ever-changing digitalized global environment.
This book will be of interest to researchers in a variety of fields, such as Religious Studies, Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Korean Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, and Globalization Studies.
