Allan Grapard

Allan Georges Grapard[1] is a French academic, historian and Japanologist.

Early life

Grapard earned his Ph.D. at the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations in Paris.[2]

Career

In 1985, Grapard came to University of California, Santa Barbara as a visiting professor in Japanese religions; and in 1986, he was invited to join the faculty of the Religious Studies Department.[3]

Today Grapard is Professor Emeritus of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies (EALCS) at the same institute.[2]

In the historiography of Japanese religions, he is known for developing innovative theoretical propositions:[4]

  • "Japanese religiosity is grounded in specific sites at which beliefs and practices were combined."[4]
  • "Japanese religiosity is neither Shinto nor Buddhist nor sectarian but is essentially combinative."[4]
  • "Those combinative systems which evolved in specific sites are related to institutions of power and, therefore, to political, social, and economic order, all of which are interrelated and embodied in rituals and institutions marking those sites."[4]
