Abstract
This volume aims to provide an overview of East Asian religiosities in the European
Union, with the aim of shedding light on their increasingly significant presence,
revolving around the informal or structured practices of several million Europeans and
East Asians (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese people) living in Europe. In
this introductory chapter we address some of the main scholarly issues concerning the
study of these religiosities, paying attention to the reasons why this topic is relevant to
Religious Studies and other related disciplines, to the methodological challenges
inherent to this field, and to some conceptual questions emerging from the countryrelated and thematic chapters.
