Whales of Power
Aquatic Mammals, Devotional Practices, and Environmental Change in Maritime East Asia
Whales of Power (WhoP) is an ERC-funded research project (2019-2023).
We examine the changing relations between humans and marine mammals in maritime regions of North and Southeast Asia, focusing on popular ritual practices and beliefs.
UPCOMING EVENT:
International conference “Aquatic Powers: Divine Animals of the Asia-Pacific”
1–3 June 2022, University of Oslo
For this conference, we have invited scholars working on one or more Asian and/or Pacific traditions to share their research on divine aquatic animals. They are historians, scholars of religion, anthropologists, geographers, environmental scientists, and artists. The conference will have an interdisciplinary, exploratory, and small-scale character.
