Synopsis

This volume, which includes contributions by members of the Asian Languages and Cultures program group, was prepared as part of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Department of Asian Studies at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. In 2021, this department is therefore celebrating a quarter of a century of its existence. But the same year will also be remembered - not only by the department, but by the whole world - for another event that will greatly change the world and our stay in it. It is the viral COVID-19 pandemic, which broke out in 2020 and had its biggest and most infamous upsurge in 2021. This book, which deals with the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia, shows from different angles that there is a gap between the ideology of anti-epidemic measures on the one hand and the reality of their implementation on the other. But it also shows that there is a treasure trove of knowledge in East Asia that we can - or should - use to deal constructively and sustainably with the current crisis and many others that may follow.
