> ASIAN ENCOUNTERS: NETWORKS OF CULTURAL INTERACTION
>
> An International Conference Organized by
>
> IIC-Asia Project and
> the Department of History, University of Delhi
> (November 1-3, 2011)
>
> The centuries-old exchange of ideas, knowledge systems, resources, skills,
> and materials among the people of the Asian continent left a lasting
> legacy in various spheres of human experience. This was a dialogue that
> involved a rich exchange of literary, religious and artistic ideas and
> forms across the regions of Asia. The proposed conference focuses on the
> processes and manifestations of these cultural interactions in pre-modern
> times.
>
> While studies in the history of Asian cultures have addressed some of
> these processes, a holistic understanding of their various dimensions and
> the totality of the impact of this intense and prolonged cultural
> interaction is still very inadequate. How has cultural discourse been
> shaped and shared by Asians? How do Asians view their shared past through
> their artistic, literary, and religious discourse? What were the political
> and social contexts, motivating factors and modes of communication and
> interaction that made this exchange possible? What systems of knowledge
> were communicated through these transactions and how do these reflect the
> distinctiveness as much as the commonalities of Asian cultures? In what
> ways are these understandings revealed in modern-day museum displays and
> the management of ancient and medieval heritage sites? How do such
> displays and strategies of heritage management in turn influence academic
> discourse on Asian pasts? These are some of the issues that scholars are
> invited to address in this conference.
>
> The many textures and levels of cultural 'exchange' and 'dialogue' among
> Asians are of course, rooted in larger concerns and circumstances and need
> to be understood in their historical context. The scope of the conference
> thus extends across the disciplines of history, art history, aesthetics,
> archaeological and conservation practices, epigraphy, museology, studies
> in Asian religions and literature, and other allied disciplines. Papers
> that include comparative perspectives or collaborations across two or more
> Asian regions in relation to pre-modern art and cultural heritage would be
> especially pertinent to its objectives.
> Some of the specific themes include the following:
>
> 1.Historical contexts and avenues of cultural interaction
> 2.Aesthetic theories and praxis
> 3.Religious and cultural matrices of artistic and literary discourse
> 4.Art, religion, and literature: inter-relationships, transmission and
> transformation of the narrative, iconic, and built traditions
> 5.The artist and the creative process; context, patronage, and reception
> of art
> 6.The past in the present: museums of Asian art; archaeological and
> conservation practices
>
> Place: Delhi: India International Centre and the University of Delhi
>
> Submission of Paper Proposals: Paper proposals should include a title and
> a 400-word abstract, together with a short biography of the applicant.
> Proposals should be received by 15th March 2011 and successful applicants
> will be informed of their acceptance by 31st March 2011.

> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The European Society for Central Asian Studies (ESCAS) invites proposals
> for individual papers, panels and round-table discussions for the twelfth
> ESCAS biennial conference scheduled for 20--22 September 2011 at the
> University of Cambridge, UK. The Conference will be hosted by the
> Cambridge Central & Inner Asian Forum

> Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, together
> with Xinjiang, Mongolia, Afghanistan and adjacent regions of Russia, China
> and Iran.
>
> Scholars and practitioners of anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art
> & art history, cinema, development studies, economics & finance, history,
> musicology, philology, political science, sociology and other related
> disciplines are encouraged to participate. We particularly welcome
> proposals which will cross disciplinary boundaries, bringing together
> experts from different fields.
>
> The conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on how far the study
> of Central Asia has come in the twenty years since the break-up of the
> USSR which transformed our field, and to both celebrate and critique the
> research which has flowed from this.
>
> SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
>
> We encourage the submission of pre-organised panels and discussion groups,
> and these may be given some preference in the selection process. Each
> panel will have three speakers, who will have half an hour to deliver
> their papers, followed by half an hour of questions and general
> discussion. Panel proposals should include a clear theme and rationale for
> bringing the speakers together. They should not include a discussant, but
> may nominate a chair if desired. Round-table discussions should include
> five or six contributors plus a chair, and will last for an hour and a
> half. Individual papers will be assigned a panel by the conference
> organisers.
>
> TIMETABLE
>
> The website for the submission of proposals is www.escas.org, which will
> be live from 15th January 2011

> REGISTRATION INFORMATION
>
> The conference organisers are hoping to subsidise or pay in full the cost
> of participation for delegates from Central Asia, and also to find general

>
> Background
>
> The Asia Institute at the University of Melbourne is pleased to announce
> the 2011 Melbourne Conference on China, to be held at the University of
> Melbourne on Saturday, 6 August and Sunday, 7 August 2011. We invite
> researchers, policy makers and advisers, educators, industry
> representatives, representatives of professional and other bodies, and
> independent scholars and experts working anywhere in the world and in any
> area of China studies to meet in Melbourne - the New Gold Mountain for
> Chinese settlers in the 1850s, and now Australias capital of culture - to
> consider the complex developments (both contemporary and historical) in
> Chinas cities and countryside and in Chinas wider global setting, and to
> explore the interactions between these different domains.
>
> Context
>
> The changes that have taken place in China in the past few decades are
> widely acknowledged as being amongst the most rapid, far-reaching and
> momentous in human history. At the core of these changes are two major
> transformations: a closer and transformed relationship between the cities
> and the countryside, and a fundamentally altered relationship between
> China and the outside world. What happens in China's rural and urban areas
> now has a direct effect on almost every part of the planet, while the
> growing impact of global processes can now be felt even in the most remote
> parts of China's countryside. Some previous accounts of China's mid-20th
> century political upheavals have interpreted the success of the Chinese
> revolution as the product of two factors: the successful mobilisation of
> rural grievances, and nationalist resentment at China's subordinated
> position in the worlds political and economic order. One current
> interpretation of the contemporary Chinese state is that the state derives
> its legitimacy from its success in transforming the Chinese economy from a
> predominantly agricultural economy to a predominately urban and industrial
> one, and from integrating China into the global economy.
>
> Theme
>
> This conference will engage with current research on rural and urban
> social, political, economic, cultural, environmental and other conditions
> in China and on the relationship between China and the rest of the world.
> It seeks to unite specific studies on particular aspects - rural, urban,
> or global - with examination of the interrelationships between them. The
> organisers welcome empirical studies on any aspect of this broad topic,
> and also look forward to receiving proposals that situate recent
> developments within a longer historical perspective, to explore how the
> current ordering of these relationships might be seen not so much as a
> radical break with the past but as a successor to much older patterns of
> interaction between the cities and the countryside and between China and
> the outside world.
>
> The conference takes a multi-disciplinary approach. It seeks to bring
> together researchers from the humanities and social sciences and from
> areas such as economics, law, education, health, logistics, engineering,
> architecture and planning, and environmental studies. The key objective of
> the 2011 Melbourne Conference on China is to explore the interplay between
> rural, urban and global phenomena from a plurality of perspectives so as
> to integrate diverse forms of analysis in a productive dialogue. It is
> expected that a selection of the conference papers will be published.
>
> Suggested Topics
>
> The issues to be discussed include, but are not limited to, the following:
>
> 1. New developments in urban and rural China and their world contexts
> Socio-economic transformations occurring in Chinas urban, rural and
> global environments, and the interrelationships between them
> China's massive engineering projects and their impacts on rural, urban
> and global social and physical environments
> The impact of modern technologies and the promotion of science education
> on Chinese society in urban, rural and global settings
>
> 2. Planning, architecture and built environments in the city and the
> country and beyond
> New urban and rural planning concepts, approaches and problems, and new
> architectural styles that evoke the dream of an age of Pax Sinica
> Cultural and philosophical dimensions of the Chinese built environment in
> Chinas modern history and during its most recent transformations
> Spatial, formal and symbolic characteristics of the new Chinese built
> environment, from the countryside to the cities
>
> 3. Rural, urban and global governance and institutions
> Institutional changes and new public policies resulting from
> industrialisation, urbanisation, economic growth, and other forms of
> commercialisation and their effects in the countryside, the cities and in

> rights in urban and rural China -as well as the impact of these systems on
> Chinas engagement with the world
> Connections and disconnections between regional systems and regional
> development strategies, socio-cultural development, urbanisation and
> eco-environmental protection
>
> 4. Health - rural, urban and global dimensions
> Urban, rural and global health issues, especially the health effects of
> Chinas rapidly growing and massive cities in both a domestic and a global
> context
> Large-scale epidemics, such as the emerging risk of HIV/AIDS epidemics,
> in the countryside, the cities and their global implications
>
> 5. Environmental sustainability as an urban, rural and global question
> Environment as a local, national and global concern and its impact on
> Chinas socio-political stability
> Chinas low carbon development, especially the development of Chinas low
> carbon cities and low carbon economy, and the concept of low carbon life
>

> the city to the world:
> Emerging trends in and patterns of internal migration, international
> migration and other demographic aspects of Chinas urban and rural and

> and linguistic heritage
> Brain-drain phenomena domestically and internationally, and their impact

> have played in creating a new political dynamic at the local level in

> environmental movements, which often work outside governmental and
> nongovernmental organizations, while converging on the same
> discursive and material space, provides social scientists with the
> opportunity to analyze "politics in the raw" (p. 5). Because "there
> is no one, single environmental movement and ... the differences
> between the many environmental movements far outweigh their
> similarities" (p. 4), Karan and Suganuma argue further that an
> examination of these political performances, which implicate multiple
> stakeholders within any given locality, requires a flexible
> methodological tool kit and attention to complex assemblages of the
> actors, goals, values, and the mode of action in each of the case
> studies presented in the book.
>
> This is, indeed, a very complex book, covering seventeen case studies
> of local environmental movements active, or once active, in the
> United States and Japan from the 1960s to 2008. The chapters are
> assembled loosely in five thematic sections. The first section
> includes an introductory chapter and comparative histories of
> environmental movements in the United States and Japan. In their
> essay, Richard Forrest, Miranda Schreurs, and Rachel Penrod attempt
> to situate the particularity of local movements into a national
> framework by nationalizing local ecologies and movements under a
> tidal wave of historical context. As a cautionary tale, they
> highlight the importance of reflecting on the complexity of
> situations rather than pushing for cross-national similarities or
> relying on facile generalizations. The final two chapters of this
> section examine the ways in which certain movements have attempted to
> work their political goals in conversation with the language of
> international environmentalism. Stanely D. Brunn explores the role
> that _National Geographic_ has played in bringing environmental
> problems into popular consciousness through its textual, broadcast,
> and online media. Kim Reimann offers a methodologically savvy essay
> exploring how environmental groups in Japan have begun to use what
> she calls "postmaterialist protest frames," such as the language of
> "biodiversity" or cultural artifacts, to protect threatened wetlands
> near the city of Nagoya (p. 45). Instead of focusing on human costs
> of polluting the environment, which characterized the environmental
> movement in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s, Reimann argues that
> environmental groups have used these discursive frames to engage
> conversations with national and international nongovernmental
> organizations with similar conservationist and preservationist goals.
>
>
> The second section covers frictions produced in communities that host
> the facilities of national nuclear and chemical weapons programs. The
> first two chapters (chapters 5 and 6) examine how communities hosting
> nuclear facilities in both countries came to terms with the effects
> of nuclear radiation. David Zurick's essay investigates the political
> movement opposed to the proposed construction of a biological weapons
> incinerator at the Blue Grass Army Depot in central Kentucky. John
> Metz's well-researched and well-written chapter examines the
> community relations of the U.S. Department of Energy through nine
> "site-specific advisory boards" (p. 77). If there is a common thread
> that runs through all of the chapters in this section, it is that the
> community-based movements that developed in opposition to these
> national facilities were made possible because of the community
> members' unwillingness to put up with the environmental and financial
> costs of hosting them.
>
> The third section deals with both successful and unsuccessful
> environmental movements to protect fragile terrestrial and littoral

> destruction, of the local environment.
>
> The final section, which is ostensibly on movements that developed in
> militarized island environments, examines human conflict with human
> and nonhuman invasive species that have established themselves on the
> islands of Okinawa and Hawai'i. Jonathan Taylor reviews how Okinawan
> movements to protect the environment and remove the bases from the
> prefecture are intertwined, while Christopher Jasparro's chapter on
> alien-species control in Hawai'i shows how civilian and military
> personnel have worked together to protect biodiversity within the
> Nu'upi Wildlife Management Area, which is partially on U.S. military
> land. The essays are housed under the section heading "Protesting the
> Effect of Military Activity," although, really, Talyor's chapter on
> Okinawa is the only one that deals explicitly with protest against
> military activity. In contrast, Jasparro's chapter deals less with
> protest against the military than it does with how the military
> partially enabled the removal of invasive species from the Nu'upi
> Wildlife Management Area, providing significant amounts of scientific
> expertise (including Jasparro's), volunteers, and funding.
>
> The lack of continuity in this collection of case studies might
> dissuade some reviewers from assigning _Local Environmental Movements
> in the United States and Japan_ to undergraduates. However, the
> chapters read alone demonstrate what can be gained from examining the
> history of environmental movements locally. Most contributors ask
> critical questions that are attentive to the historical contingencies
> through which the social movements have developed in complex
> socio-natural ecologies that are particular to each case study. The
> different ways in which these movements have unfolded cannot be
> simply attributed to variations in preexisting cultural ideas about
> nature. Rather, the chapters show that ideas about nature and
> grassroots politics are shaped as much by relationships between
> actors as they are by grand historical narratives, culturalist
> premonitions, or crude stereotypes. For this reason alone, this
> collection of essays is well worth the read.

Please note the Call for Papers for the next Sri Lanka Graduate
Student Workshop to which all are welcome to attend with prior
notification (students and faculty). There is no registration fee.

"Sri Lanka: Remaking Society"
2011 Sri Lanka Graduate Student Conference
The 2011 Sri Lanka Graduate Conference will be onMarch 25th and 26th
at the India- China Institute, the New School for Social Research, New
York and funded by the American Institutefor Sri Lankan Studies. As
with the highly successful first Graduate Conference in April 2010,
this workshop will bring together graduate students both in the final
writing up stage and pre-research/planning stages from a variety of
disciplines and institutions. In 2011 we will look at Sri
Lanka's(contemporary and historical) variegated social formations and
their processes, flux, renewals, and aphasias. We particularly welcome
panel proposals focusing on the following broad themes: family,
marriage, and kinship; civil society actors and institutions; notions
of the civic and/or the public in Sri Lanka; intersections of gender,
caste, class; aesthetics and aesthetic production; ecology and
environment; displacement, resettlement and return; citizenship and/or
transnational communities; reconciliation; youth, generation, and
youth cultures; education, law, religion (or intersections between).

The workshop aims to enhance intellectual exchange on SriLanka,
emphasize the production of empirical and non sectarian knowledge,
focus attention on recent potential transformation of key concepts,
and strengthen and build a new cohort of researchers (and research)
across disciplines and institutions as well as strengthen
relationships between American graduate students and local
intellectual circles in Sri Lanka. The workshop takes placeover 2
days. The first day will be open to the public and comprise of three
student panels. The second day will be two private sessions, a small
closed pre-dissertation development seminar for selected participants
(see below for details), and a roundtable discussion for all
participants. The pre-dissertation development seminar is to assist
graduate students in developing their research projects. This will be
a closed session for 6 participants. Students in Masters and PhD
programs across the humanities and social sciences are encouraged to
apply. You can find this information also at:

Announcement and Call for Papers
2011 Melbourne Conference on China
The City, the Countryside and the World – China's urban and rural
transformations and their global connections

Date: Saturday, 6 August and Sunday, 7 August 2011
Venue: The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
Organiser: Asia Institute, Faculty of Arts, the University of Melbourne

Background
The Asia Institute at the University of Melbourne is pleased to
announce the
2011 Melbourne Conference on China, to be held at the University of
Melbourne on Saturday, 6 August and Sunday, 7 August 2011. We invite
researchers, policy makers and advisers, educators, industry
representatives, representatives of professional and other bodies, and
independent scholars and experts working anywhere in the world and in
any
area of China studies to meet in Melbourne - the 'New Gold Mountain'
for
Chinese settlers in the 1850s, and now Australia's 'capital of
culture' -
to consider the complex developments (both contemporary and
historical) in
China's cities and countryside and in China's wider global setting,
and to
explore the interactions between these different domains.

Context
The changes that have taken place in China in the past few decades are
widely acknowledged as being amongst the most rapid, far-reaching and
momentous in human history. At the core of these changes are two major
transformations: a closer and transformed relationship between the
cities
and the countryside, and a fundamentally altered relationship between
China
and the outside world. What happens in China's rural and urban areas
now has
a direct effect on almost every part of the planet, while the growing
impact
of global processes can now be felt even in the most remote parts of
China's
countryside. Some previous accounts of China's mid-20th century
political
upheavals have interpreted the success of the Chinese revolution as the
product of two factors: the successful mobilisation of rural
grievances, and
nationalist resentment at China's subordinated position in the world's
political and economic order. One current interpretation of the
contemporary
Chinese state is that the state derives its legitimacy from its
success in
transforming the Chinese economy from a predominantly agricultural
economy
to a predominately urban and industrial one, and from integrating
China into
the global economy.

Theme
This conference will engage with current research on rural and urban
social,
political, economic, cultural, environmental and other conditions in
China
and on the relationship between China and the rest of the world. It
seeks to
unite specific studies on particular aspects - rural, urban, or global -
with examination of the interrelationships between them. The organisers
welcome empirical studies on any aspect of this broad topic, and also
look
forward to receiving proposals that situate recent developments within a
longer historical perspective, to explore how the current ordering of
these
relationships might be seen not so much as a radical break with the
past but
as a successor to much older patterns of interaction between the
cities and
the countryside and between China and the outside world.

The conference takes a multi-disciplinary approach. It seeks to bring
together researchers from the humanities and social sciences and from
areas
such as economics, law, education, health, logistics, engineering,
architecture and planning, and environmental studies. The key
objective of
the 2011 Melbourne Conference on China is to explore the interplay
between
rural, urban and global phenomena from a plurality of perspectives so
as to
integrate diverse forms of analysis in a productive dialogue. It is
expected
that a selection of the conference papers will be published.

Suggested Topics
The issues to be discussed include, but are not limited to, the
following:

1. New developments in urban and rural China and their world contexts
· Socio-economic transformations occurring in China's urban, rural
and
global environments, and the interrelationships between them
· China's massive engineering projects and their impacts on rural,
urban
and global social and physical environments
· The impact of modern technologies and the promotion of science
education
on Chinese society in urban, rural and global settings

2. Planning, architecture and built environments in the city and the
country and beyond
· New urban and rural planning concepts, approaches and problems,
and new
architectural styles that evoke the dream of an age of 'Pax Sinica'
· Cultural and philosophical dimensions of the Chinese built
environment
in China's modern history and during its most recent transformations
· Spatial, formal and symbolic characteristics of the new Chinese
built
environment, from the countryside to the cities

3. Rural, urban and global governance and institutions
· Institutional changes and new public policies resulting from
industrialisation, urbanisation, economic growth, and other forms of
commercialisation and their effects in the countryside, the cities and
in the
wider world
· New systems of law and governance - in particular a stronger
awareness
of rights in urban and rural China -as well as the impact of these
systems on
China's engagement with the world
· Connections and disconnections between regional systems and
regional
development strategies, socio-cultural development, urbanisation and
eco-environmental protection

4. Health - rural, urban and global dimensions
· Urban, rural and global health issues, especially the health
effects of
China's rapidly growing and massive cities in both a domestic and a
global
context
· Large-scale epidemics, such as the emerging risk of HIV/AIDS
epidemics,
in the countryside, the cities and their global implications

5. Environmental sustainability as an urban, rural and global question
· Environment as a local, national and global concern and its
impact on
China's socio-political stability
· China's low carbon development, especially the development of
China's
low carbon cities and low carbon economy, and the concept of low
carbon life

6. Mobility, migration, ethnic and diaspora issues – from the
country to
the city to the world:
· Emerging trends in and patterns of internal migration,
international
migration and other demographic aspects of China's urban and rural and
global
realities
· Ethnic minorities in urban and rural China and in the
international
diaspora, especially the development of ethnically-defined economies,
ethnic
entrepreneurship, ethnic education, and the protection of ethnic and
linguistic heritage
· Brain-drain phenomena domestically and internationally, and
their impact
on human resource development and on structures of human, cultural and
intellectual capital
· Education and its role as an upward social mobility mechanism in
the
cities and the countryside and as a cause of urbanisation and global
mobility
· Transnational marriages and the formation of Western, African,
and Asian
minority communities in China

7. Media and Chinese perceptions of others – world contexts and local
realties
· The changing nature of China's mass media, social media and
media use in
rural, urban, national and international settings
· Urban and rural Chinese people's perceptions of their neighbouring
countries, big and small, rich and poor
· Information technologies, and their impacts on rural and urban
lives in
China and global linkages

8. Culture, religion and gender from the villages to the cities to the
world stage
· The revival of the Confucian tradition at local, regional,
national and
international levels and its relationship to other social phenomena
· Chinese traditional and popular culture in rural, urban,
national and
international settings
· Religious activities in cities, the countryside and the
diaspora, and
their relationship to Chinese secularism
· Gender and sexuality in urban and rural areas, and changing
attitudes to
gender-related issues

Papers or presentations examining any other aspect of these broad themes
from any other perspective not mentioned above are also welcome.

Description: This exploration of early paths for Buddhist transmission
within and beyond South Asia retraces the footsteps of monks,
merchants, and
other agents of cross-cultural exchange. A reassessment of literary,
epigraphic, and archaeological sources reveals historical contexts for
the
growth of the Buddhist saṅgha from approximately the 5th century BCE
to the
end of the first millennium CE. Patterns of dynamic Buddhist mobility
were
closely linked to transregional trade networks extending to the
northwestern
borderlands and joined to Central Asian silk routes by capillary routes
through transit zones in the upper Indus and Tarim Basin. By examining
material conditions for Buddhist establishments at nodes along these
routes,
this book challenges models of gradual diffusion and develops
alternative
explanations for successful Buddhist movement.
