The English North China Herald is the prime printed source in any language for the history of the foreign presence in China from around 1850 to the 1940s. During this so-called treaty century (1842-1943) the Great Western Powers established a strong presence in China through their protected enclaves in the major cities. Published in Shanghai, at the heart of Chinas dealing with the Euro-American world and a city at the forefront of developments in Chinese politics, culture, education and the economy. As the official journal for British consular notifications, and announcements of the Shanghai Municipal Council, it is the first and sometimes only point of reference for information and comment on a range of foreign and Chinese activities. Regularly it also features translations of Chinese official notifications and news. The Herald had correspondents across the whole of China. These supplied a constant stream of news of an incredible variety, such as, apart from news and gossip reflecting the social, cultural and political life of the foreign settlements; trade statistics, stock prices, Chinese news, essays on Chinese culture and language, law reports from foreign courts in the settlements, company reports, news on foreign social, cultural and political life, maps, cartoons, photographs, stock prices and law and company reports, advertisements, tables of tea, silk and cotton exports, or long-forgotten facts about missionaries, birth, marriage, and death announcements, facts about other foreign nationals the French, Danish, Italian, German, Dutch, and so on. Although a thriving treaty port press developed over the century of the foreign presence, no other newspaper existed over such an extended period, and covers it in such incredible depth and variety. The dense unindexed columns of the Herald offer therefore an indispensable, still largely unexplored treasuretrove for any scholar of modern Chinese history.
War, revolution and politics have conspired to destroy library holdings or frustrate access to publications from Chinas treaty century. The fully text-searchable North China Herald online will be one of the primary resources on a period which continues to shape much of Chinas world and worldview. Our earlier announcement on our publication in 2011 of Brills online, full-text searchable North China Herald, has met with enthusiastic response from scholars and librarians alike. The massive interest shown in the project has made us feel the need for the presentation of the larger context in which the digitization of the North China Herald will take place, and for some reassessment of our original offer. We are happy to announce the following.

They covered all aspects of social activities, though the emphasis was on developments and achievements in the building of a socialist country. In order to reach even broader public audiences, government agents produced and printed the transcripts and shot lists for the films and sent them to cities and rural areas. The bulk of the items in the collection are transcripts for the documentary films and newsreels from the Cultural Revolution, 1966-1976. Few of these printed materials have survived due to the poor quality of the paper upon which they were printed. All documents in the collection are in Chinese.

Colonial-Period Korea Online

Advisor: Ria Koopmans-De Bruijn Available since 2001 E-ISBN 978 90 04 19255 3 Number of titles: 269 Languages used: Korean, Japanese, English Title list available MARC records are available Purchase option: Outright purchase Here is a unique collection of rare documents relating to the Japanese occupation of Korea, from the late nineteenth century up to 1945, representing a highly significant period in Korean history, and vital for a true understanding of many reflexes in the Koreas today. In 1876, Japan opened Korea to outside contact for the first time. What followed was a period of sparring with the Chinese over the right of influence in Korea, a rivalry which culminated in the SinoJapanese war of 1894-95. Following victory, Japan steadily increased its presence and interference in Korean matters until the outright annexation of the country in 1910. Korea would remain a Japanese colony until the end of the Pacific War in 1945. Drawn from the holdings of the C.V. Starr East Asian Library at Columbia University, New York, the collection includes more than 62,000 pages in Japanese language, 18,000 pages of Western (in most cases English) early impressions of Korea, and Korean texts (16,000 pages).

The books, in a variety of Western languages, testify to the formidable difficulties encountered by Westerners, who attempted to extend their own familiar historical, linguistic and religious perceptions to the Chinese context.

Russian Military Intelligence on Asia Online

Brill offers two collections of Russian military intelligence on Asia, namely the Archive Series and the Secret Prints. Together, they comprise a wealth of hitherto virtually unknown data about Asia that were gathered before the 20th century by explorers, military attachs, diplomats, academics, and others.

While its western borders were largely fixed in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars, the Romanov autocracy still found many outlets for its imperial energies in the East. Imperial Russias Asian march coincided with a revolution in intelligence. Gathering and analyzing such intelligence also became much more comprehensive, almost encyclopedic. It entailed not only the armed forces and the terrain of all potential adversaries, but also political, economic, ethnographic, and much other data. The collection Archive series, 1651-1917 contains the following parts: 1. A threat from the Far East (China, Japan, Korea) 2. The Eastern question (Turkey, Palestine, Arabia & Syria) 3. The Great Game in Central Asia (Persia (Iran), Afghanistan) Location of Originals: Rossiiskii gosudarstvennyi voennoistoricheskii arkhiv (RGVIA), Moscow. Fonds 444-451.

Issued by the Russian General Staff between 1883 and 1914 in 87 thick volumes and 9 supplements (averaging about 300 pages each), the journals purpose was to disseminate to senior tsarist military commanders important scholarship about the continent written by Russian and Western explorers, officers, and academics. The bulk of the Secret Prints consists of first-hand accounts composed by contemporary travelers to lesser-known reaches of Asia. Most were Russian army officers, many of whom had extensive training in geography and related disciplines. Among the more illustrious authors are Nikolai Przhevalskii, Aleksei Kuropatkin, Nikolai Ermolov, Gustav Mannerheim, Lavr Kornilov, and Andrei Snesarev. Other articles range from attach and diplomatic dispatches to histories of tsarist plans for the invasion of India, the siege of Herat, and European campaigns against China. Together, they comprise a unique and largely untapped source for 19th-century Asia. Location of Originals: National Library of Russia, Saint Petersburg

Brills Encyclopedia of Hinduism

Editor in Chief: Knut A. Jacobsen, University of Bergen Associate Editors: Helene Basu, University of Mnster, Angelika Malinar, University of Zrich and Vasudha Narayanan, University of Florida brill.com/encyclopediahinduism Brills Encyclopedia of Hinduism is part of the Handbook of Oriental Studies, Section 2: South Asia (HO2), which publishes scholarly reference works, bibliographies, and research tools pertaining to the political, economic, social, linguistic, and religious history of the Indian subcontinent. The five-volume Brills Encyclopedia of Hinduism is a thematic encyclopedia, presenting the latest research on all the main aspects of the Hindu traditions in original essays written by the worlds foremost scholars on Hinduism. The Encyclopedia explicitly adopts an interdisciplinary and pluralistic approach, and in it, the term Hinduism is used critically in the knowledge that most of the traditions that today make up Hinduism are much older than the term itself. The Encyclopedia aims at a balanced and evenhanded view of Hinduism, recognizing the tensions inherent in the academic examination of Hinduism. It emphasizes that Hinduism is a conglomerate of regional religious traditions and at the same time a global world religion. Hinduism is also both an ancient historical tradition and a living tradition flourishing in the contemporary world. It is an oral tradition, yet one with a huge number of sacred texts at its basis. Hinduism is both a religious identity and an object of academic scholarship. Illustrated with maps and photographs, Brills Encyclopedia presents the learned philosophical and theological traditions of Hinduism as well as its many folk traditions. Covering the spread of Hinduism over the last two hundred years to all the continents as well as the interaction of Hinduism with other religions, it also portrays the various responses of Hindu traditions to a number of contemporary issues of great relevance today, such as feminism, human rights, egalitarianism, bioethics, and so on.

Critical Readings in the Intellectual History of Early Modern Japan (2 vol. set)
Edited by W.J. Boot, Leiden University Critical Readings in the Intellectual History of Early Modern Japan provides an overview of recent research into the most fascinating period in the development of Japanese thought. Against a background of Buddhism, which all through the period remained the state-sponsored religion, Chinese studies spread and became the basis of all higher education. Chinese studies, and the Confucianism they implied, provoked a reaction, National Studies, which took the philological method elaborated by the Chinese scholars and applied it to the ancient Japanese corpus, in an attempt to articulate a Japanese identity. Simultaneously, the growing interest of physicians and astronomers in European science gave rise to Dutch Studies. These four fields of intellectual endeavor together comprise the subject of the book.

Critical Readings on the History of Industrialization in Modern Japan (3 vol. set)

Edited by Christopher Gerteis, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London The three volumes of this collection (Tokugawa Economy and Society, Meiji Industrialization, and Twentieth Century Japan) feature essays examining the economic and social transformations that redefined Japan from the proto-industrial economy of the early moder era to Japans twentiethcentury emergence as one of the worlds great industrialized nations. September 2012 ISBN 978 90 04 21229 9 Hardback List price EUR 585.- / US$ 800.The first volume, Tokugawa Economy and Society, examines how the political economy of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, despite political constraints designed specifically to hinder social and economic change, established the proto-industrial roots for Japans rapid industrialization during the Meiji Era. The second volume, Meiji Industrialization, explores how the men who established the modern government of the Meiji Era (1868-1912) found fertile ground for the rapid industrialization they envisioned necessary for the defense of the nation. Their successes, and failures, laid the groundwork for a modern empire. The final volume, Twentieth Century Japan, examines the century of industrialization that underpinned the rise of Imperial Japan, its disastrous invasion of Pacific Asia, and its unexpected emergence from the ashes of World War II to become one of the worlds great industrialized powers, a feat which has since fascinated politicians and industrialists across the developing and developed world.

Critical Readings on Food in East Asia (3 vol. set)

Edited by Katarzyna J. Cwiertka, Leiden University Food in East Asia presents a collection of articles that treat a wide variety of aspects related to food in contemporary East Asia. Cuisine is a very persuasive tool for delineating East Asia as a region. Food and foodways of Greater China, Japan and Korea obviously differ from one another, but they all rest upon the foundations of ancient Chinese civilization that once dominated this part of the world. The use of chopsticks and a widespread consumption of processed soybeans rank among the most vivid indicators of the common heritage of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean cuisines. Yet, the culinary cultures of contemporary East Asia are as much a product of the last hundred years as they are of the previous centuries. The crumbling of the ancient power structures within the region, brought about by the rise of Japans imperialist ambitions since the late nineteenth century onward, triggered dietary transformations that affected not only the East Asian populations, but have also exerted a strong impact on global foodways. The selective readings collectively provide an insight into these transformations, focusing on the preparation and consumption of food. The articles are drawn from a variety of sources, covering a number of disciplines, the majority of which have been written in the past fifteen years. This selection offers up-to-date and high quality scholarship on food in East Asia and will be useful for scholars and students in the fields of area studies, sociology and anthropology, history and material culture studies.

Critical Readings on the Colonial Period of Korea 1910-1945 (4 vol. set)

Edited by Hyung-Gu Lynn, University of British Columbia There has been a rapid accumulation of new scholarship on colonial Korea in particular and comparative colonialism in general within the last ten years. This volume gathers these articles from a variety of venues to allow researchers, students, and readers to access the most important scholarship on colonial Korea published in English. The volume will facilitate the rediscovery of a few older articles, insightful articles published in relatively less well-known outlets, and touchstone works, all in one convenient series. This will be useful to researchers of modern Korea and modern Japan, as well as serving a resource of courses that cover Korean history, Japanese history, and history of colonialism. As one of the few cases of non-Western colonialism, the volume will also be invaluable for researchers interested in expanding their knowledge of comparative colonialism.

Critical Readings on Japanese Confucianism facilitates more in-depth and profound understandings of the many dimensions of Confucianism in Japan by bringing together important studies from the disciplines of history, philosophy, and religion, as well as important texts in translation. Volume one examines historical unfoldings of Japanese Confucianism as a stimulating array of intellectual expressions operative from the beginnings of Japanese literary culture through the present. Volume two explores philosophical approaches to Confucian ethics, metaphysics, and political thinking. Volume three reveals important religious and spiritual dimensions of Confucianism. Reinforcing these, the final volume presents several Japanese Confucian texts in translation. Overall the volumes offer a vision of Confucianism as a dynamic and multifaceted force in ongoing developments of Japanese culture.

This anthology gathers both classical pieces of scholarship and very recent articles that illustrate the various disciplinary approaches (history, sociology, anthropology, political sciences, arts and literature), theories and themes that are shaping the field today. Topics covered include the Three teachings (Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism) as well as so-called popular religion throughout history, but the overall focus is on how scholars make sense of the variety of religious practices and beliefs to analyze the place of religion in Chinese societies.

Critical Readings on The Manchus in Modern China 1616 - 2012 (4 vol. set)
asian studies
Edited by Lars Laamann, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London The Manchus, we commonly read, began a process of irreversible Sinification shortly after their victory of 1644 and steered in terminable decline towards ethnic assimilation before they were finally relegated to the history books in 1911. The May Fourth generation regarded Manchus as alien imperialists, who subdued the vitality of the Han-Chinese majority, so that another wave of alien imperialists could force China into a straight-jacket of Unequal Treaties. However, since the 1980s a far more nuanced picture is emerging, based on hitherto unknown archival documents in Manchu. The present volume, with its state-of-the-art selection of academic articles in English, exemplifies this latest stage in the historical analysis of the Manchus in modern Chinese history, characterized by the reversal of previous ideological considerations.

Selected Contemporary Readings From Pre-Surrender to Post-San Francisco Peace Treaty. Series 2: Pamphlets, Journals, Press and Reports
Edited by Roger Buckley December 2012 ISBN 978 90 04 22580 0 Hardback List price EUR 1499.- / US$ 2085. Imprint: Global Oriental Comprising ten volumes of some 4500 pages with over 100 entries, The Post-War Occupation of Japan, 1945-1952: Selected Contemporary Readings - Series 2: Pamphlets, Journals and Press, offers a representative selection of English-language reportage and commentary written during a critical era in twentieth-century history and international politics. It concentrates on how General MacArthurs demilitarization, reformation and reconstruction programmes for warblitzed Japan were variously reported and assessed as the occupation evolved. The views of American journalists who were on the spot, as well as commentators for general magazines and specialists journals within the United States, necessarily have priority. Attention is also placed on British and Australian opinion and the vocal responses of Japanese politicians and writers to the enforced, radical transformation of their society. The use of contemporary official and unofficial documentary material highlights the wide divergence of viewpoints between and within nationalities as contested American policies for Japan shifted from major reform to economic consolidation. The text concludes with debates over the making of the controversial San Francisco peace conference against the backcloth of the Cold War in the Asia-Pacific and the establishment of an enduring US-Japan alliance.

The History of Afghanistan (6 vol. set)

Fay Muammad Ktib Hazrahs Sirj al-Tawrkh
Translated and edited by R.D. McChesney and Mohammad Mehdi Khorrami The Sirj al-tawrkh is the most important history of Afghanistan ever written. It was commissioned as an official national history by the Afghan prince, later amir, Habib Allah Khan (reigned 1901-1919). The author, Fayz Muhammad Khan, better known as Katib (The Writer), was a scribe at the royal court. For more than twenty years, he had full access to government archives and oral sources and thus presents an unparalleled picture of the country from its founding in 1747 until the end of the nineteenth century.

Visualising China, 1845-1965

Moving and Still images in Historical Narratives
Edited by Christian Henriot, University of Lyon, and Wen-hsin Yeh, University of California at Berkeley How does China project its image in the world? Why and how has the world come to form certain impressions of the Chinese and their way of life? These are issues that preoccupy Chinese citizens in the globalizing 21st century as they travel overseas, riding on the capacity of the countrys newly acquired economic power. In Visualizing China, the authors join forces to launch a broader inquiry aimed at a synergistic understanding of the larger story of visuality in modern China. The essays cluster around several nodal points including photographs, advertising, posters and movies, spanning from the 1840s to the 1960s, and devote special attention to modern Chinese practices in the visualization of things Chinese.

Visual Political Communication in Popular Chinese Television Series

Florian Schneider
In Visual Political Communication in Popular Chinese Television Series, Florian Schneider analyses political discourses in Chinese TV dramas, the most popular entertainment format in China today. Schneider shows that despite their often nationalistic stories of glorious emperors and courageous officials, such programmes should not be mistaken for official propaganda. Instead, the highly didactical messages of such series are the outcome of complex cultural governance practices, which are influenced by diffuse political interests, commercial considerations, viewing habits, and ideological assumptions. Schneider argues that these interlinking factors lead to a highly restrictive creative environment and to conservative entertainment content that ultimately risks creating precisely the kind of passive masses that Chinese media workers and government officials are trying so hard to emancipate.

Gilded Voices
Economics, Politics, and Storytelling in the Yangzi Delta since 1949
Qiliang He
In Gilded Voices: Economics, Politics, and Storytelling in the Yangzi Delta since 1949, Qiliang He pieces together published, archival, and oral history sources to explore the role of the cultural market in mediating between the state and artists in the PRC era. By focusing on pingtan, a storytelling art using the Suzhou dialect, the book documents both the states efforts to police artists and their repertoire and storytellers collaboration with, as well as resistance to, state supervision and intervention. The book thereby challenges long-held scholarly assumptions about the Chinese Communist Partys success in politicizing popular culture, patronizing artists, abolishing the cultural market, and enforcing rigid censorship in Maos times.

Mapping the Old Zhuang Character Script

A Vernacular Writing System from Southern China
David Holm, National Chengchi University
The traditional Zhuang script is a character script based on Chinese, adapted for the purpose of writing the Tai languages of southern China and northern Vietnam. Mapping the Old Zhuang Character Script by David Holm, presents for the first time a systematic overview of such a script, based on a survey of traditional texts in 45 locations among the Zhuang and related peoples in Guangxi, Guizhou, eastern Yunnan, and northern Vietnam. Complete with 133 maps, it looks at patterns of geographic variation in relation to dialect, the domains of former native chieftaincies, the activities of ritual masters and Taoist priests, large-scale migrations, and the transplantation of garrisons of native troops. Internal evidence indicates the script has a history dating back to the early Tang if not earlier.

China - East Asia
Chinas Destiny and Chinese Economic Theory

Chiang Kai-shek
Chiangs two classic works were first published as a combined volume in English in 1947 (the original Chinese version of Chinas Destiny by far the larger work first appeared in 1943 selling over a million copies), examine the challenges facing the modernization (and new economic foundation) of China from the humiliation of the unequal treaties, through to the struggles of the first half of the twentieth century, including the problem of establishing a philosophy of revolution and reconstruction. The volume is annotated and introduced by Philip Jaffe with an extensive essay entitled The Secrets of Chinas Destiny where he sets out the history and writing of the two books, arguing that what happens to China is of vital importance to world peace and prosperity, but it is not so easy to evaluate the conflicting forces and contradictory trends in present-day China. Jaffe was an apologist for Chiang Kai Sheks Kuomintang China and was prosecuted (unsuccessfully) on espionage and subversion charges in 1945 as editor of the pro-Communist magazine Amerasia.

Brills Series on Modern East Asia in a Global Historical Perspective

asian studies
Edited by Billy K.L. So and Madeleine Zelin For more information please visit brill.com/meah The economic emergence of East Asiafirst Japan, followed by the Little Dragons and Southeast Asia, and the recent rise of China, has produced a paradigm shift in the study of the East Asian regions. Not only has an earlier understanding based on adaptation to Western models given way to a re-evaluation of the interface between the local and the global, but scholarship itself has become increasingly transnational. This is evidenced in hitherto unseen levels of transnational collaboration, conferences and research programs, and the creation of on-line archives and virtual intellectual communities. East Asia, broadly defined to include both northeast and southeast Asia, has ISSN 2212-1730 contributed greatly to this shift. This series aims at providing a platform for the products of this scholarship, encouraging interdisciplinary, transnational and comparative research on the countries and peoples of the East Asian region, and their regional and global interactions. In an effort to reflect the full range of collaborations that are now taking place across the globe this series will feature monographs and edited volumes as well as translated works that explore the global processes of change in East Asia and the historical role of East Asia in the creation of the institutions, ideas, and practices that constitute our contemporary world.

Race and Racism in Modern East Asia

Western and Eastern Constructions
Edited by Rotem Kowner and Walter Demel Race and Racism in Modern East Asia juxtaposes Western racial constructions of East Asians with constructions of race and their outcomes in modern East Asia. It is the first endeavor to explicitly and coherently link constructions of race and racism in both regions. These constructions have not only played a decisive role in shaping the relations between the West and East Asia since the mid nineteenth century, but also exert substantial influence on current relations and mutual images in both the East-West nexus and East Asia. Written by some of the fields leading authorities, this groundbreaking 21-chapter volume offers an analysis of these constructions, their evolution and their interrelations.

The Intimate and the Public in Asian and Global Perspectives

Emiko Ochiai
For more information please visit brill.com/ipap This series, linking family research, social policy and migration studies, sets out to shed light at many levels and in a wide variety of contexts on this key twenty-first century issue that could be termed a reconstruction of the intimate and the public from an interdisciplinary and global perspective. There is a special focus on Asia where dynamic social changes are resulting in unsustainable societies with extremely low fertility; yet it is such countries that are witnessing the rise in marriage ISSN 2213-0608 migration to fill the gender gap caused by a skewed sex ratio at birth. Also addressed are issues arising from the alleged convergence of European welfare retrenchment on the one hand, and on the other, the Asian struggle to establish basic welfare state structures at a time of state budget cuts thereby posing the fundamental question regarding the nature of sustainable welfare provision.

Asian Women and Intimate Work

Edited by Emiko Ochiai, Kyoto University, and Kaoru Aoyama, Kobe University Asian women are often labelled with biased stereotypical ideal images linked to the various acts that women perform for others in intimate relationships, ranging from subordinate housewife to migrant domestic maid, and overseas bride. Asian women, in fact, are being constructed as women among women. These feminine roles are related to the various activities that women perform for others in intimate relationships both within and outside the family. Asian Women and Intimate Work looks at how Asian women have been linked with such, sometimes unpaid, often poorly paid intimate work and constructed in various time periods and places in Asian modernity - including socialist modernity and the age of globalization, emphasizing, in particular, the sense of identity and the viewpoints of Asian women themselves.

Patriarchy in East Asia

A Comparative Sociology of Gender
Kaku Sechiyama, University of Tokyo
Patriarchy in East Asia varies greatly according to the interplay between cultural norms, economic change, and government policies. This book provides an historical study and theoretical analysis of the transitions that have occurred in the status of women during the course of modernization and industrialization in five East Asian societies Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, and China, the latter four societies presenting an ideal show-case of the effects of social regimes, captialist or socialist, on different ethnic cultures Korean and Chinese. This analysis is interwoven with a discussion of contemporary issues such as the persistence of tradition and gender discrimination, how gender roles undermine the development of healthier marriage and family relationships and better relations among the generations, the lack of full equality for women in employment, falling birthrates, and rising divorce rates. The book the first study of its kind undertaken by a sociologist who is also fluent in all of the local languages also describes the interplay between cultural norms, economic change, government policies, and ways of thinking among the subjects relating to social change.

Rysai Kenbo
The Educational Ideal of Good Wife, Wise Mother in Modern Japan
Shizuko Koyama, Kyoto University
The famous rysai kenbo, or good wife and wise mother role of women was not, after all, a traditional Confucian view but a modern construct. In fact, its first appearance in Japan, as Koyama Shizuko points out, was in the latter half of the nineteenth century due principally to the influence of European ideas about women. Girls at the time were proud to fulfill their new role of contributing to not just the family but to the formation of the state. Koyamas discovery has transformed how we see modern womens history in Japan and the similar discoveries that have followed regarding Chinese wise wife and good mother and Korean wise mother and good wife. Previous studies have interpreted rysai kenbo thought, which was widely recognized in nationally-sanctioned educational standards, as a backward, feudal or even reactionary view of women, and therefore peculiar to girls and womens education in prewar Japan. As a result, rysai kenbo thought was seen to be completely distinct from postwar views of women in Japan and Western Europe that have also emphasized the role of women as wives and mothers. Here, however, rysai kenbo thought is examined as a mode of thought inseparable from such issues as the formation of the modern citizen-state and the formation of the modern family. Instead of reducing it to a specific, pre-World War II Japanese ideal of womanhood, Koyama argues that rysai kenbo thought is, in fact, a modern mode of thought related to, and having much in common with, views of the qualities desirable in a woman both in postwar Japanese society, as well as in modern Western nations and beyond.

Monies, Markets, and Finance in East Asia, 1600-1900

Edited by Hans Ulrich Vogel For more information please visit brill.com/mmf This series publishes work on the history of monies, markets and finance in East Asia, mainly during the period from 1600 to 1900 and with a regional focus on China, Japan and Korea. Monies not only refer to physical objects and monetary functions, but also to such related aspects as mining, smelting and transportation of monetary metals. The multiplicity of markets implies the existence of different currency circuits and competing ISSN 2210-2876 currencies. The topic of finance includes case studies both on public dimensions and private institutions. Contributions in this series not only deal with empirical and theoretical approaches to economic, social and political aspects, but also with cultural characteristics and meanings. By establishing a solid basis in these domains, the series aims at serving as a starting point for solid cross-cultural comparative research.

Marco Polo Was in China

New Evidence from Currencies, Salts and Revenues
Hans Ulrich Vogel, Tbingen University
In Marco Polo was in China Hans Ulrich Vogel offers an innovative look at the highly complex topics of currencies, salt production and taxes, commercial levies and other kinds of revenue as well as the administrative geography of the Mongol Yuan empire. The authors rigorous analysis of Chinese sources and all the important Marco Polo manuscripts as well as his thorough scrutiny of Japanese, Chinese and Western scholarship show that the fascinating information contained in Le devisament dou monde agrees almost pefectly with that we find in Chinese sources, the latter only available long after Marco Polos stay in China. Hence, the author concludes that, despite the doubts that have been raised, the Venetian was indeed in Khubilai Khans realm.

Since the dramatic discovery and tragic destruction of the monument in the 19th century, the Amarvat stpa in the south-east Deccan has attracted many scholars but has also left many unanswered questions. Akira Shimadas Early Buddhist Architecture in Context provides an updated and comprehensive chronology of the stpa and its architectural development based on the latest sculptural, epigraphic and numismatic evidence combined with the survey of the early excavation records. It also examines the wider social milieu of the south-east Deccan by exploring archaeological, epigraphic and related textual evidence. These analyses reveal that the flowering of the stpa was not a simple accomplishment of the powerful Stavhana dynasty, but was the result of the long-term development of urbanization of this region between ca. 200 BCE-250 CE.

Alexander Histories and Iranian Reflections

Remnants of Propaganda and Resistance
Parivash Jamzadeh
Alexander the Greats military campaign to conquer the Achaemenid empire included a propaganda campaign to convince the Iranians his kingship was compatible with their religious and cultural norms. This campaign proved so successful that the overt display of Alexanders Iranian and Zoroastrian preferences alienated some of his Greek and Macedonian allies. Parivash Jamzadeh shows how this original propaganda material displayed multiple layers of Iranian influences. Additionally she demonstrates that the studied sources do not always offer an accurate account of the contemporary Iranian customs, and occasionally included historical inaccuracies. One of the most interesting finds in this study is the confusion of historical sources that arose between the opponents Darius III and Alexander. Jamzadeh argues that the Iranian propaganda regarding Alexander the Great has contributed to this confusion.

Kokugaku in Meiji-period Japan

The Modern Transformation of National Learning and the Formation of Scholarly Societies
Michael Wachutka, University of Tbingen
Kokugaku in Meiji-period Japan offers a new perspective on scholarly networks and the foundations of modern Japan. Utilizing never explored original sources and with a unique focus on the persons involved, Michael Wachutka elucidates how kokugaku as a cornucopia of traditional knowledge played an important role in raising a new generation of truly national citizens. Commonly perceived as a purely premodern Edo-period phenomenon, national learning counterbalanced an overly Westernization of society in the process of nation building and identity formation. In addition to kokugaku activities in religious administration and higher education, Wachutka provides a compelling account of the organization and endeavour of three successive academic societies whose most prominent members served as junction of kokugakus intellectual network in Meiji Japan.

The disjuncture between the aims of policy and the realities on the ground faced by individual teachers and students is explored in detail. Education policy designed to help to prepare Japan for the challenges of globalisation constantly comes up against institutional inertia, norms of teaching and learning, and concepts of national culture that obstruct the mastering of foreign languages or the acceptance of cultural, ethnic or linguistic diversity

The Rise and Fall of a British Enterprise in Japan, 1868-1940
Brian Burke-Gaffney, Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science
Established in the Nagasaki Foreign Settlement in 1868, Holme, Ringer & Co. led foreign business in western Japan up to the eve of the Second World War, engaging not only in the commodities trade and shipping and insurance agencies, but also trawl fishing and Norwegianstyle whaling, hotel management, and the introduction of modern technologies such as waterworks, telephones, mechanised flour milling and large-scale petroleum storage. Gathering information from a wide range of sources, the author provides the first detailed description of these activities in Nagasaki and Shimonoseki while shedding light on the remarkable story of Frederick Ringer and his descendants, a British family that contributed to the development of modern Japan but ultimately found it impossible to stay.

Commerce and Culture at the 1910 Japan-British Exhibition: Centenary Perspectives

Edited by Ayako Hotta-Lister and Ian Nish This volume, intended to complement Hotta-Listers original 1999 study, marks the centenary of Londons 1910 great Japan-British Exhibition, which was held at White City, Shepherds Bush, and attracted over eight million visitors during its six-month stay. While the initiative came from Britain, the Japanese Government was the major source of funding for the Japanese side of the Exhibition. Using the Anglo-Japanese Alliance as its springboard, Japan at the time a new colonial power hoped to bring about a greater understanding of its cultures and traditions and thereby stimulate trade and commerce between the two countries. This aspiration had particular poignancy, given the fact that Japan was still recovering from near bankruptcy following the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5. In the event, the Japanese press, unlike the British press, took umbrage at what they considered the trivialization of Japanese culture, thus in part frustrating the positive cultural, commercial and political outcomes that were hoped for. Eighteen months later, Emperor Meiji died and the Great War of 1914-18 followed soon after, thereby relegating the exhibition its origins, composition, relevance and impact - to oblivion until recent times. The papers in this volume, therefore, drawn from four centenary conferences held in London and Tokyo, offer an important spotlight on the exhibitions legacy specifically in the contexts of commerce and culture. The contents include the following themes: The Exhibition and domestic conditions in Britain and Japan; the Exhibition and Japans economic background; selling the backward Japanese economy; imperialism and the Exhibition; the Japanese media and the Exhibition; the arts of Britain and Japan; Ainu in London; Japanese fine art; the human legacy; Japanese gardens. This book has wide inter-disciplinary relevance for students in modern East Asian Studies, but especially in the context of colonial and economic history, inter-cultural exchange and Anglo-Japanese relations.

The Periodical Press in Treaty-Port Japan

Conflicting Reports From Yokohama, 1861-1870
Todd S. Munson, Randolph-Macon College
In The Periodical Press in Treaty-Port Japan, Munson offers an analytical survey of print media published in the treaty port of Yokohama during the tumultuous final decade of the Tokugawa shogunate. His focus includes English-language newspapers; hybrid multinational newspapers, published by Westerners but written in Japanese; and the Japan Punch, a satirical illustrated journal published by Charles Wirgman (Japan correspondent and illustrator for the Illustrated London News). Whereas previous studies of the topic have been written from the perspective of institutional development, The Periodical Press in Treaty-Port Japan provides a fresh take in the field of Japanese media historyand convincingly demonstrates that these early efforts were in fact vital, sophisticated, and exciting.

The Two Koreas and the Politics of Global Sport

Brian Bridges, Lingnan University
In ordinary circumstances, one could be forgiven for assuming that sport unites rather than divides people. But, as this first in-depth study of inter-Korean sporting life and competition over more than six decades clearly demonstrates, sport has in fact been held hostage to the ups and downs of inter-Korean political relations. The two Koreas have devoted considerable resources to developing sporting systems and securing sporting achievement globally, with important ramifications for both national pride and inter-Korean rivalry. And while the author accepts that sport and politics are close allies wherever one travels in the world, it remains the case that for the two Koreas sport plays a more significant central role in the context of the vicissitudes of the relationship across the 38th parallel and has considerable repercussions on sporting ambitions and development for both countries. This book has wide inter-disciplinary relevance in the context of Korean studies in particular and East Asian politics and international relations in general with special reference to the phenomenon of two-state rivalry as was or still is the case for Germany, Yemen, Vietnam and China/Taiwan. Those pursuing sports studies in an international context will also find this volume invaluable.

Studies in East Asian Security and International Relations

Series editor: Rdiger Frank, University of Vienna For more information please visit brill.com/seas Will the twenty-first century be the Asian century? Will the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) overtake the United States as the leading global superpower? Will an institutionalized Third Bloc emerge in international relations and challenge the transatlantic alliance that has dominated world politics for such a long time? While opinions on the details differ strongly, there seems to be a certain consensus that the East Asian region, roughly defined as Northeast Asia (Greater China, the two Koreas, Japan and the Russian Far East) plus Southeast Asia (the ten members states of ASEAN), will be globally significant in the years to come and see its role growing. Such a role includes almost all fields such ISSN 2213-1051 as economics, science and technology, migration, culture, and international relations. These issues are interrelated and often overlap. This series, therefore, takes as its main focus the field of international relations post-WWII that pertain to the region and in particular the question of collective security and related issues, including options for institutionalized mechanisms of a joint regional security policy. The need for such a focus has become increasingly obvious: shifts in the global balance of power, as well as a multitude of conflicts in the region, some old and unresolved, some new and emerging, actual or potential, call for ongoing detailed appraisal and sustainable solutions.

The Stony Road to Collective Security

Edited by Rdiger Frank, University of Vienna, and John Swenson-Wright, University of Cambridge Will the twenty-first century be the Asian century? Will the Peoples Republic of China overtake the United States as the leading global superpower? Will an armed conflict break out on the Korean peninsula, and can it be contained? While opinions differ strongly, there seems to be a certain consensus that the East Asian region, roughly defined as Northeast Asia (China, the two Koreas, Japan and the Russian Far East) plus Southeast Asia (ASEAN), will be ever more globally significant in the years to come. This book critically addresses the potential of the liberal concept of collective security to provide a solution, with a focus on the Korean peninsula.

The Meaning of Korean Prosodic Boundary Tones

Mee-Jeong Park
This book marks the first attempt to rationalize the meaning of Korean intonation, especially its boundary tones. Unlike other languages where various pragmatic and discourse meanings are delivered through the types of pitch accent (prominent pitch movement on stressed syllable) and the types of phrase-final boundary tones, Korean delivers the pragmatic/discourse meaning mainly by the types of phrase-final boundary tones. This is possible because Korean has at least nine boundary tones while other languages have two (or, even four or five if the boundary tone of a smaller phrase are included). Various examples are given that illustrate this three-way relationship, i.e., a specific meaning delivered by a certain type of boundary tone and a certain type of morphological marker in natural conversation.

Crazy for Wisdom

The Making of a Mad Yogin in Fifteenth-Century Tibet
Stefan Larsson, University of California, Berkeley
In his early twenties, the Tibetan monk Sangy Gyaltsen (14521507) left his monastery to become a wandering tantric yogin. As he moved from place to place, seeking enlightenment beyond the bounds of monasticism, his behavior became increasingly erratic. While some were shocked or even angered by his actions, others were drawn to him. Tsangnyns followers described his transgressive behaviors as enlightened action, rooted in authoritative Buddhist scripture. Using biographical sources, Stefan Larsson explores Sangy Gyaltsens transformation into the charismatic Madman of Tsang, Tsangnyn Heruka. Best known today as the author of the Life of Milarepa, Tsangnyn Heruka was one of the most influential mad yogins of Tibet. His biography brings its reader face-to-face with an unexpected aspect of Buddhist practice that flourished in fifteenth-century Tibet.

TANAP Monographs on the History of Asian-European Interaction

Edited by Leonard Bluss and Cynthia Viall For more information please visit brill.com/tamo This series on the history of Asian-European Interaction is the outcome of the spectacularly successful TANAP (Towards a New Age of Partnership) program that was carried out at Leiden University from 2001 to 2006 by a score of young Asian, South African and European scholars. In search of a better understanding of Asian-European interaction in early modern Monsoon Asia the authors strove to match their researches in the depositories of the former Dutch East India Company (VOC) in archives at The Hague, Cape Town, Colombo, Madras, and Jakarta with local Asian sources and the latest scholarly literature. As such, these monographs provide new insights into the integration of the Asian theatre into global history. The TANAP program was directed by the staffs of the History ISSN 1871-6938 Department of Leiden University and the National Archives in The Hague in close cooperation with colleagues and supervisors from various academic and archival institutions in Asia and South Africa. It was funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Education, Culture and Science; the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO); the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Netherlands UNESCO Commission; and several private foundations in Asia and Europe. The TANAP Monographs series is produced by the History Department of Leiden University, which also publishes the research journal Itinerario. International Journal on the History of European Expansion and Global Interaction.

Is there any truth in the story that the morality of the servants of the Dutch East India Company in the eighteenth century was so rotten that one should believe the Dutch maxim Vergaan Onder Corruptie in translation something like Succumbed to Corruption and use this as an explanation for a very complex phenomenon? Chris Nierstrasz introduces us in his In the Shadow of the Company, to the realities of the decision makers and of the servants in the field. Responding to the changing realities in Asia, the Company could only try to use the mercantile potential of its higher echelons to postpone its downfall. In a situation in which the directors were not able to increase investment from Holland, the servants in Asia were forced to take up the challenge.
Every Inch a King

Comparative Studies on Kings and Kingship in the Ancient and Medieval Worlds
Edited by Lynette Mitchell, University of Exeter, and Charles Melville, University of Cambridge The role of kings, the source of their authority and the nature of the practical restraints on their power have exercised political and religious philosophers, historians, competing candidates for rule and subject populations from the time of the earliest documented human societies. How the kingly image is created and presented and how the ruler performs his or her function as the source of justice are among the topics addressed in this volume, which also covers the role of queens in maintaining dynastic succession yet being the target of tales of adultery. This volume is of particular interest in bringing together studies of kingly power from Cyrus the Great and Alexander in the ancient world to Shah Abbas in the seventeenth century, and covering the European Middle Ages as well as Iran and the Muslim world.

Mamluks and Animals

Veterinary Medicine in Medieval Islam
Housni Alkhateeb Shehada, Ben Gurion University/Levinsky College of Education
Housni Alkhateeb Shehadas Mamluks and Animals: Veterinary Medicine in Medieval Islam is the first comprehensive study of veterinary medicine, its practitioners and its patients in the medieval Islamic world, with special emphasis on the Mamluk period (1250-1517). Based on a large variety of sources, it is a history of a scientific field that is also examined from social and cultural perspectives. Horses, as well as birds of prey used for hawking and falconry, were at the centre of the veterinary literature of that period, but the treatment and cure of other animals was not totally neglected. The Mamluk period is presented here as the time when veterinary medicine reached its pinnacle in medieval Islam and often even surpassed human medicine.

History
Studies in Global Social History

Series Editor: Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam, The Netherlands For more information please visit brill.com/sgsh For a long time, historiography was the sum of national efforts. Historians automatically thought and wrote within the framework of nation states even when discussing foreign policy and inter-national topics. Globalization is beginning to change their approach. Now that borders have become more fluid in contemporary society, and interest in transnational processes is increasing, the principles of the methodological nationalism of the past are undergoing a critical review. A different view of global cohesion parallels this trend. Until recently, the North Atlantic perspective dominated the mental world order: the modern period was believed to have started in Europe and North America and to have spread gradually throughout the rest of the world; the temporality of the core ISSN 1874-6705 area was considered to have defined developmental periods elsewhere as well. This Eurocentrism is now under fire, and many attempts to circumvent it are in progress. The peer-reviewed book series Studies in Global Social History figures within these new trends. Each volume in this series addresses at least two continents and aims to visualize contrasts and similarities and to reveal long-distance connections to demonstrate how our present global society has materialized from uneven and combined developments and from interaction between acts from above and from below: from rulers, entrepreneurs, politicians, and administrators on the one hand and from slaves, peasants, indentured labourers, wage-earners, and housewives on the other hand.

Labour, Coercion, and Economic Growth in Eurasia, 17th-20th Centuries

Edited by Alessandro Stanziani, EHESS and CNRS The history of the forms of free labour is intimately linked to that of coerced labour. In this book, worldwide acknowledged specialists of Russia, China, Russia, Japan, India, the Indian Ocean, France and Britain show that between the seventeenth and the twentieth century, forms of labour and bondage were defined and practised in reference to each other. Labour relationships found their sources not only in the global circulation of models, peoples, goods and institutions, but also in market dynamics. Proto-industry, agriculture, trade and manufacturing experienced unprecedented growth throughout Eurasia. Mostly labour-intensive, this longterm growth put considerable pressure on labour resources and contributed to increased coercion and legal constraints on labour mobility in both Asia and Europe.

Essays in Honor of Jan Lucassen
Edited by Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History and University of Amsterdam and Leo Lucassen, Leiden University This collection of seventeen essays takes its inspiration from the scholarly achievements of the Dutch historian Jan Lucassen. They reflect a central theme in his research: the history of labor. The essays deal with five major themes: the production of specific commodities or services (diamonds, indigo, cigarettes, mail delivery by road runners); occupational groups (informal street vendors, prostitutes, soldiers, white-collar workers in the Dutch East India Company, VOC); geographical and social mobility (career opportunities on non-Dutch officers in the VOC, immigration into early-modern Holland; the influence of migrants on labor productivity; income differentials as migration incentives); contexts of labor relations (late medieval labor laws, subsistence labor and female paid labor, Russian peasant-migrant laborers, diverging political trajectories of cane-sugar industries); and the origins of labor-history libraries and archives.

Religion, Technology, and the Great and Little Divergences

China and Europe Compared, c. 700-1800
Karel Davids, VU University Amsterdam
In Religion, Technology, and the Great and Little Divergences Karel Davids offers a new perspective on technological change in China and Europe before the Industrial Revolution. This book makes an innovative contribution to current debates on the origins of the Great Divergence between China and Europe and the Little Divergence within Europe by analysing the relationship between the evolution of technical knowledge and religious contexts. It deals with the question to what extent disparities in the evolution of technical knowledge can be explained by differences in religious environment. It takes a comparative look at the relation between technology and religion in China and Europe between c.700 and 1800 from four angles: visions on the uses of nature, the formation of human capital , the circulation of technical knowledge and technical innovation.

Breaking into the Monopoly

Provincial Merchants and Manufacturers Campaigns for Access to the Asian Market, 1790-1833
Yukihisa Kumagai, University of the Ryukyus, Japan
Based on a number of historical documents, Breaking into the Monopoly examines how the commercial pressure groups of Glasgow, Liverpool, and Manchester organised nationwide campaigns to break into the British East India Companys monopoly for free access to Asian markets from 1812-13 and 1829-33. The analysis includes various aspects of the campaigners motives, strategies, methods, and networks, as well as their relationship with the London mercantile society in nineteenth-century Britain. The author, Yukihisa Kumagai, brings new insights to the question regarding the connection between the rapidly growing provincial mercantile and manufacturing interests and Britains economic and imperial policies during the Industrial Revolution.

Copies versus Cognates in Bound Morphology

Edited by Lars Johanson, University of Mainz, and Martine Robbeets, University of Mainz Genealogical linguistics and areal linguistics are rarely treated from an integrated perspective even if they are twin faces of diachronic linguistics. In Copies versus Cognates in Bound Morphology Lars Johanson and Martine Robbeets take up this challenge. The result is a wealth of empirical facts and different theoretical approaches, advanced by internationally renowned specialists and young scholars whose research is highly pertinent to the topic. Copies versus Cognates in Bound Morphology puts genealogical and areal explanation for shared morphology in a balanced perspective and works out criteria to distinguish between morphological cognates and copies. Lars Johanson and Martine Robbeets provide nothing less than the foundations for a new perspective on diachronic linguistics between genealogical and areal linguistics.

Japanese Visual Culture

Edited by John T. Carpenter For more information please visit brill.com/jvc Japanese Visual Culture is a new academic series devoted to the visual culture of the Japanese archipelago of every era. It includes studies on the history of painting, prints, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture and applied arts, but also extends to the performing arts, cinema, manga and anime. Despite the recent trend away from monographs on individual artists or objectbased studies, the Japanese Visual Culture series recognizes the still-crucial need for research on Japanese artists or previously neglected categories of art to help build the foundation for the further development of the field. It also actively seeks interdisciplinary or theoretical approaches to archaeology, ISSN 2210-2868 religion, literature, and the social sciences. Though all volumes will be published in English, the series encourages submission by scholars based in Europe. The series is attractively designed and allows for copious illustrative material, using the latest technology for high-quality colour reproduction. The books will rely on Brills well-established distribution networks to research libraries in Europe, North America, and East Asia, especially Japan. While the primary readership will be specialists and students of Japanese art history and related fields, we expect the attractively designed format will attract wider audiences.

The Life and Afterlives of Hanabusa Itch, Artist-Rebel, of Edo

Miriam Wattles, University of California Santa Barbara
Miriam Wattles recounts the making of Hanabusa Itch (1652-1724), painter, haikai-poet, singersongwriter, and artist subversive, in The Life and Afterlives of Hanabusa Itch, Artist-Rebel, of Edo. Translating literary motifs visually to encapsulate the tensions of his time, many of Itchs original works became models emulated by ukiyo-e and other artists. A wide array of sources reveals a lifetime of multiple personas and positions that are the source of his multifarious artistic reincarnations. While, on the one hand, his legend as seditious exile appears in the fictional cross-media worlds of theater, novels, and prints, on the other hand, factual accounts of his complicated artistic life reveal an important figure within the first artists biographies of early modern Japan.

Aesthetic Strategies of The Floating World

Mitate, Yatsushi, and Fry in Early Modern Japanese Popular Culture
Alfred Haft, Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures
The East Asian classical tradition, with its repertoire of ancient narratives and established pictorial themes, was a major force driving cultural development in Japan during the early modern or Edo period (1615-1868). This book offers an in-depth account of three aesthetic conceptsmitate, yatsushi, and frywhich influenced the way early-modern popular culture absorbed and responded to this force of cultural tradition. Combining literary, historical, and visual evidence, the book examines particularly how the three concepts guided artistic choices in the context of Floating World prints (ukiyo-e), and how the concepts have shaped the direction of ukiyo-e studies since the Meiji period (1868-1912).

Painting Nature for the Nation

Taki Katei and the Challenges to Sinophile Culture in Meiji Japan
Rosina Buckland, National Museum of Scotland
In Painting Nature for the Nation: Taki Katei and the Challenges to Sinophile Culture in Meiji Japan, Rosina Buckland offers an account of the career of the painter Taki Katei (18301901). Drawing on a large body of previously unpublished paintings, collaborative works and book illustrations by this highly successful, yet neglected, figure, Buckland traces how Katei transformed his art and practice based in modes derived from China in order to fulfil the needs of the modern nationstate at large-scale exhibitions and at the imperial court. She provides a rare examination of the vibrant world of Chinese-inspired culture during the 1880s, and the hostility which it faced in the following decade.
Miyazawa Kenjis Buddhist Nature: The Pictorialised Kenji

Helen Kilpatrick
In Miyazawa Kenji and his Illustrators, Helen Kilpatrick examines re-visionings of the literature of one of Japans most celebrated authors, Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933). The deeply Buddhist Kenjis imaginative dwa (childrens tales) are among the most frequently illustrated in Japan today. Numerous internationally renowned artists such as Munakata Shik, Kim Tschang-Yeul and Lee Ufan have represented his stories in an array of intriguing visual styles, reinvigorating them as picture books for modern audiences. Focusing on some of Kenjis most famous narratives, the author analyses the ways artists respond to the stories metaphysical philosophies, exploring the interaction of literature, art and culture. Miyazawa Kenji and his Illustrators is richly depicted with full colour images of the representations of Kenjis work, making the book a valuable resource on how illustrations shape story, and how these picture books continue to convey the texts witty and ironic messages more deeply than the written word alone.

Hell-bent for Heaven in Tateyama Mandara

Painting and Religious Practice at a Japanese mountain
Caroline Hirasawa, Sophia University, Tokyo
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries priests from the Tateyama mountain area (Toyama Prefecture) brought paintings of the mountain, called Tateyama mandara, on campaigns throughout Japan that extolled its merits, drummed up warm-weather pilgrimage, and established venues for selling products and services. The images depict pilgrims, monks, animals, and supernatural beings occupying the mountains landscape, thought to contain both hell and paradise. The local landscape was thus cast as a universalized portal to the other world and Tateyama preachers positioned themselves at its gateway as indispensable intermediaries to salvation, a notion that encompassed a wide range of meanings, from enlightenment to temporary escape from hell. Tateyama preachers increasingly promoted the mountain as particularly beneficial to women, updating older practices to address new concerns about female salvation that spread during the late medieval and Edo eras. Without professional assistance women were perceived as doomed to hells directly related to their reproductive responsibilities. Moreover, where women were forbidden from climbing the mountain or directly partaking in its benefits due to perceptions that they were polluted, the images enabled their direct engagement with its salvific spaces. Drawing on methodologies from historical, art historical, and religious studies, this book untangles the complex premises and mechanisms operating in these pictorialisations of the mountains mysteries and furthers our understanding of the rich complexity of pre-modern Japanese religion.

Portraits of Chgen
The Transformation of Buddhist Art in Early Medieval Japan
John M. Rosenfield
Now available in paperback! This volume, the first in Brills Japanese Visual Culture series, vividly describes the efforts of the Japanese monk Shunjb Chgen (11211206) to restore major buildings and works of art lost in a brutal civil conflict in 1180. Chgen is best known for his role in the recasting of the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) and the reconstructing of the South Great Gate (Nandaimon) of Tdaiji in Nara and its huge, dramatic wooden guardian figures. This study concentrates on these and other replacement statues and buildings associated with Chgen and situates the visual arts of Japan into the spiritual and socio-political context of their times. Through meticulous study of dedicatory material, Rosenfield is able to place the splendid Buddhist statues made for Chgen in vivid new light. The volume also explores how Japans rulers employed the visual arts as instruments of government policy a tactic that recurs throughout the nations history. This publication includes an annotated translation of Chgens memoir, completed near the end of his life, in which he recounts his many achievements. In chapters on East Asian portraiture, Rosenfield claims that surviving statues of Chgen, carved with mordant realism, rank among the worlds most eloquent portraits, and herald the great changes that were to permeate Japanese religious and secular arts in the centuries to come. While Chgen has been the subject of major art exhibitions and extensive research in Japan; this is the first book-length study to appear in the West. ... This excellent book is a rarity in that Rosenfields clear writing and careful explanations make this complex topic accessible to nonspecialists while concurrently, his use of diverse primary sources, including Chgens own memoir (translated in an appendix), distinguishes it as an invaluable resource for specialists as well. - Patricia J Graham, University of Kansas, Religious Studies Review, Vol 37 No 3 (September 2011)

Genjis World in Japanese Woodblock Prints

Andreas Marks, with contributions by Bruce A. Coats, Michael Emmerich, Susanne Formanek, Sepp Linhart, and Rhiannon Paget
Genjis world in Japanese Woodblock Prints provides the first comprehensive overview of Genji prints, an exceptional subject and publishing phenomenon among Japanese woodblock prints that gives insight into nineteenth-century Japan and its art practices. In the late 1820s, when the writer Rytei Tanehiko (17831842), the print designer and book illustrator Utagawa Kunisada (17861865) and the publisher Tsuruya Kiemon sat down together in Edo to plot the inaugural chapter of the serial novel A Rustic Genji by a Fraudulent Murasaki (Nise Murasaki inaka Genji), it is doubtful that any one of them envisioned that their actions would generate a new genre in Japanese woodblock prints that would flourish until the turn of the century, Genjie (Genji pictures). During these sixty years, over 1,300 original designs were created, of which many were very popular at their time of release. The story of A Rustic Genji, set in fifteenth-century Japan, is in many respects drawn from Murasaki Shikibus (c.9731014/25) classic novel The Tale of Genji from the early eleventh century. As the foremost collection of prints of this subject, the extensive holdings of Paulette and Jack Lantz provided the majority of images necessary for this publication.

Modernities of Japanese Art

John Clark
This book contains foundational studies of various modernities in Japanese Art published since 1986 by John Clark. His articles address modern Japanese print history, modern Japanese Aesthetics, the history of Japanese Western-style painting including the avant-garde, the relation of art and foreign aggression, and the post World War II development of critical art, as well as post-modernism. The basis for these essays is through-going empirical research in Japanese sources over many visits to Japan since 1969, with at the same time a theoretical rigour derived from semiotics applied to traditional Japanese-style painting and other subjects. Some of these essays which were previously published in French and Japanese appear here in English for the first time. The whole collection brings together as one volume a large body of art historical and critical work not otherwise easily accessed. This book forms a pair with the authors Modernities of Chinese Art (Brill, 2010).

The Harunobu Decade

A Catalogue of Woodcuts by Suzuki Harunobu and his followers in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
David Waterhouse
The Harunobu Decade presents some 700 prints from Harunobu and his immediate followers and pupils, kept in the highly-acclaimed collection of Japanese prints of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The theme of this 2-volume publication is the development of full-color woodcut printing (nishiki-e) in Edo in 1765 and 1766, and its immediate adaptations for commercial purposes during the next five years. The artist who was at the center of this movement was Suzuki Harunobu (1725?-70); and most of the catalogue is devoted to his work, including early prints produced before 1765. Almost all of the prints were produced in the decade from the early 1760s to the early 1770s. David Waterhouses elaborate descriptions of the prints are accompanied by full-color illustrations and make The Harunobu Decade an excellent resource for scholars and collectors of early Japanese prints.

Sins and Sinners

Perspectives from Asian Religions
Edited by Phyllis Granoff and Koichi Shinohara Asian religious traditions have always been deeply concerned with sins and what to do about them. As the essays in this volume illustrate, what Buddhists in Tibet, India, China or Japan, what Jains, Daoists, Hindus or Sikhs considered to be a sin was neither one thing, nor exactly what the Abrahamic traditions meant by the term. Sinscould be both undesireable behavior and unacceptable thoughts. In different contexts, at different times and places, a sin might be a ritual infraction or a violation of a rule of law; it could be a moral failing or a wrong belief. However defined, sins were considered so grave a hindrance to spiritual perfection, so profound a threat to the social order, that the search for their remedies through rituals of expiation, pilgrimage, confession, recitation of spells, or philosophical reflection, was one of the central quests of the religions studied here.

Gender and Islam in Southeast Asia

Womens Rights Movements, Religious Resurgence and Local Traditions
Edited by Susanne Schrter, University of Frankfurt The volume is the first comprehensive compilation of texts on gender constructions, normative gender orders and their religious legitimizations, as well as current gender policies in Islamic Southeast Asia, which besides the Islamic core countries of Malaysia and Indonesia also comprises southern Thailand and Mindanao. The authors trace the impact of national development programmes, modernization, globalization, and political conflicts on the local and national gender regimes in the 20th century, and elaborate on the consequences of the revitalization of a conservative type of Islam. The book, thus, elucidates the boundary lines of cultural and political processes of negotiation related to state, society, and community. It employs a broad analytical framework, offers rich empirical data and gives new insights into current debates on gender and Islam.

The Cosmic Breath

Spirit and Nature in the Christianity-Buddhism-Science Trialogue
Amos Yong, Regent University School of Divinity, Virginia
Recent thinking in the interfaith dialogue and in the theology-science dialogue have taken a pneumatological turn. The Cosmic Breath explores this pneumatological theology as unfolded in the Christian-Buddhist dialogue alongside critical interaction with the theology-andscience conversation. As an attempt in comparative and constructive Christian philosophical theology, its central thesis is that a pneumatological approach to Buddhist traditions in further dialogue with modern science generates new philosophical resources that invigorate Christian thinking about the natural world and humanitys place in it. The result is a transformation of the Buddhist-Christian dialogue from insights generated in the theology-and-science interface and a contribution to the religion-and-science dialogue from a comparative theological and philosophical perspective. In this groundbreaking monograph Professor Amos Yong continues developing his ambitious project of constructive theology in an interfaith environment. Here Christian pneumatology and comparative theology are set in the context of a robust interdisciplinary conversation with natural sciences. Only few scholars possess the width of learning and depth of creative thinking to execute such a program. All subsequent investigations into Buddhist-Christian dialogue must consult and engage this proposal. At the same time, this project is a landmark effort in the rapidly growing interdisciplinary and interfaith investigation into the role of the Spirit in the world. - Veli-Matti Krkkinen, Professor of Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and Docent of Ecumenics, University of Helsinki, Finland Whew! What an adventure in trialogue! The breadth, depth and scope of Amos Yongs close readings in theological and biblical studies, the natural sciences and Buddhist traditions all converge in this truly masterful study. Yongs wide-ranging yet careful engagement with a great host of religious, philosophical and scientific texts, always undertaken in lively conversation with his faithfully Pentecostal yet profoundly liberating pneumatology, is virtually mind-boggling. Inhale The Cosmic Breath and embark upon a richly rewarding, and profoundly educational, journey of the mind and the heart. - Michael Lodahl, Professor of Theology and World Religions, Point Loma Nazarene University

Faith in the Future

Understanding the Revitalization of Religions and Cultural Traditions in Asia
Edited by Thomas A. Reuter, University of Melbourne, and Alexander Horstmann, Mahidol University Revitalization of religious and cultural traditions is taking place in nearly all contemporary Asian societies, as is shown in Faith in the Future: Understanding the Revitalization of Religions and Cultural Traditions in Asia. Revitalization is not unique to Asia, it is one of the most significant new global trends in religion and society. While they are a response to globalization and rapid change, revitalization movements are not backward looking but represent a struggle by local people for their right to determine their own future in a changing world, while also reflecting their desire to find an appropriate place and status for themselves within a global context which they take for granted. The volume provides a comparative analysis of the key features and aspirations of revitalization movements and assesses their scope for shaping the future trajectories of societies in all parts of the world.

Secure Oil and Alternative Energy

The Geopolitics of Energy Paths of China and the European Union
Edited by M. Parvizi Amineh, International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS), Leiden and University of Amsterdam, and Yang Guang, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), Beijing Secure Oil and Alternative Energy: The Geopolitics and Energy Paths of China and the European Union is the follow-on study to the well-received The Globalization of Energy: China and the European Union (Brill 2010). While intensive cooperation between China and the EU in the fields of energy use, environmental protection, and sustainability is highly needed, the question remains unanswered how this cooperation could be organized. Since the proven gas and oil reserves lay outside China and the EU, they are both facing geopolitical challenges to energy security in the foreseeable future. This volume puts the geopolitical implementation of Chinas and the EUs energy security into the context of (a) geo-economic systems in a global scale including the Central Eurasian, the Middle East and Africa hydrocarbon energy complex and (b) the emergence of a geo-economic energy network spreading from China to Western Europe. The edited volume consists of 14 high-quality papers on topics announced in the title of the volume: the geo-politics of energy-supply security, alternative sources of energy, energy transition and, at the global level, energy governance.

The abdan Baatr Codex

Epic and the Writing of Northern Kirghiz History
asian studies
Edition, Translation and Interpretations, with a Facsimile of the Unique Manuscript by Daniel Prior, Miami University,Oxford, Ohio In The abdan Baatr Codex, Daniel Prior presents the first complete edition, translation, and interpretation of a unique manuscript of early twentieth-century Kirghiz poetry, which includes detailed accounts of nineteenth-century warfare. Dedicated to the chief abdan Baatr, the Codex occupies an illuminating position in a network of oral and written genres that encompassed epic poetry and genealogy, panegyric and steppe oral historiography; that echoed oral performance and aspired to print publishing. The Codexs fresh articulation of concepts of Kirghiz self-identification was incipiently national, yet remained couched in traditional forms. The Codex thus bridges the interval, often glossed over in cultural histories, between a supposedly archaic state of oral epic tradition and the afterlife of epics in modern ethnonationalist projects.

Four Types of Loyalty in Early Modern Central Asia

The Tqy-Tmrid takeover of Greater M war al-nahr, 1598-1605
Thomas Welsford
At the turn of the seventeenth century, a new dynastic party established authority across Central Asia. In Four Types of Loyalty in Early Modern Central Asia, Thomas Welsford offers the first detailed account of how and why this happened. By examining some of the ways in which various social groupings helped to facilitate the Tqy-Tmrids acquisition of power, Welsford considers how such an instance of dynastic change might reflect the shifting loyalties, beliefs and preferences of an often overlooked wider subject population.

Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia

Sufism, Education, and the Paradox of Islamic Prestige
Allen J. Frank
In Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia Allen Frank examines the relationship of Tatars and Bashkirs with the city of Bukhara during the Russian Imperial era. For Muslims in Russia Bukharas prestige was manifested in genealogies, fashion, and in the elevated legal status of Bukharan communities in Russia. The historical relationship of Russias Muslim communities with Bukhara was founded above all on Bukharas reputation as a holy city of Islam, an abode of great Sufis, and a center of Islamic scholarship. The emergence of Islamic reformism critiquing Bukharas sacred status, led by Tatar scholars who were trained in Bukhara, created a number of paradoxes. The symbol of Bukhara became an important feature in theological and political debates among Russias Muslims.

Change in Democratic Mongolia

Social Relations, Health, Mobile Pastoralism, and Mining
asian studies
Edited by Julian Dierkes, University of British Columbia Some 100 years ago, Mongolia gained independence from Qing China, and more than 20 years ago it removed itself from the collapsing Soviet Bloc. Since then, the country has been undergoing momentous social, economic and political changes. The contributions in Change in Democratic Mongolia: Social Relations, Health, Mobile Pastoralism, and Mining represent analyses from around the world across the social sciences and form a substantial part of the state of the art of research on contemporary Mongolia. Chapters examine Buddhist revival and the role of social networks, perceptions of risk, the general state of health of the population and the impact that mining activities will have on this. The changes of patterns of nomadism are equally central to an understanding of contemporary Mongolia as the economic focus on natural resources.

International Law
Towards a Chinese Civil Code

Comparative and Historical Perspectives
Edited by L. Chen, City University of Hong Kong, and C.H. van Rhee, Maastricht University Currently, China is drafting its new Civil Code. Against this background, the Chinese legal community has shown a growing interest in various legal and legislative ideas from around the world. Within this context, the present book aims at providing the necessary historical and comparative legal perspectives. It concentrates on substantive private law and civil procedure, both in China and in other jurisdictions. These perspectives are of considerable importance for the present codification work. Additionally, the book is dedicated to commemorating the centennial of the first Western-influenced and civil law-oriented Civil Code of China, the Da Qing Min L Cao An of 1911. The following topics are addressed: property law, contract law, tort law and civil procedure. The book also contains contributions on codification experiences in Europe and on the concept of codification in general. The topics are discussed by a leading Chinese or international scholars. Most of the Chinese contributors have taken part in preparing the Chinese Draft Civil Code. The book is the outcome of a conference organized by the Centre for Chinese and Comparative Law (RCCL), School of Law, City University of Hong Kong, in October 2010.

The Five-Colored Clouds of Mount Wutai: Poems from Dunhuang

Mary Anne Cartelli, City University of New York
In The Five-Colored Clouds of Mount Wutai: Poems from Dunhuang, Mary Anne Cartelli examines a set of poems from the Dunhuang manuscripts about Mount Wutai, the most sacred mountain in Chinese Buddhism. Dating from the Tang and Five Dynasties periods, they reflect the mountains transformation into the home of the bodhisattva Majur, and provide important literary evidence for the development of Buddhism in China. This interdisciplinary study analyzes the poems using Buddhist scriptures and pilgrimage records, as well as the contemporaneous wallpainting of Mount Wutai in Dunhuang cave 61. The poems demonstrate how the mountain was created as a sacred Buddhist space, as their motifs reflect the cosmology associated with the mountain by the Tang dynasty, and they vividly portray the experience of the pilgrim traveling through a divinely empowered landscape.
