The Anthropological Study of Hope in the Asia-Pacific Region：Future Prospects through New Bodily Practices

ID: jrp000299

In the twenty-first century, the world is full of dystopian helplessness and loss of hope. Under these circumstances, this research project will address the hope people can have and consider hope not only as a personal question but also as a large socio-cultural issue. We will also focus on hope as a prospect for living awakened in physical practices, in addition to people’s narrated future visions. The objective of this project is to establish an anthropology of hope and the body through the comparison of examples of hope as social and cultural phenomena currently in formation in the Asia-Pacific region.
