Orientalistik (Germany)

Japanese: オリエント学 - オリエントがく(英語表記)Orientalistik[ドイツ]
Orientalistik (Germany)
A general term for the study of the languages, history, and cultures of the Orient. In Europe and the United States, the Orient is covered in a broad sense, which includes not only the disciplines mentioned below, but also Indian studies, Southeast Asian studies, Mongol studies, Sinology (Chinese studies), Korean studies, and Japanese studies. Oriental studies in Western Europe dates back to the encounter with and acceptance of Islamic culture in the Middle Ages, but it was not until the 19th century that each of the specialized fields was established as a modern academic field. The first International Congress of Near Eastern Studies was held in Paris in 1873, and the Tokyo conference in 1983 was the 31st.
