We are pleased to announce that the recording of our ISCSD Book Talk, featuring Stéphanie Homola’s influential work The Art of Fate Calculation: Practicing Divination in Taipei, Beijing, and Kaifeng, has been published on our YouTube channel.
In this event, Prof. Homola (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) offers a comprehensive ethnographic study of divination practices in mainland China and Taiwan, elucidating the ways in which fate calculation informs both individual lives and broader cultural dynamics. The discussion is further deepened by the contributions of Prof. Esther-Maria Guggenmos from Lund University, who brings a critical perspective from the field of the History of Religions.
This recorded discussion provides valuable insights for researchers, scholars, and students engaged in the study of religious practices, cultural anthropology, and East Asian traditions. We encourage you to view the recording, engage with the content, and share your thoughts on this rich academic exchange.
The recording can be found here.
