While we, the editors, came up with the ini- tial idea – or, to say it more modestly, the initiative to treat this sub- ject matter – whatever was in that idea grew with the help of many people, not all of whom appear as authors of single contributions in this volume. Like all scholars, we are standing on the shoulders of those who worked on our (and neighbouring) subjects before us, and our gratitude is not restricted to the giants among them. The ideas expressed in this volume, and especially the methodological part of its introduction, are also the result of fruitful conversations with colleagues who participated in the process of its making, but abstained from presenting a written contribution to it. We would like to especially mention those among them who presented pertin- ent work at a symposium held at University of Zurich's Institute of East Asian Studies in February 2009: Paul van Els (“Texts, Authors, Pseudonyms: The Case of the Two Wenzi’s”) , Konrad Klaus (“Con- cepts of Authorship in Ancient India”), Matías Martínez (“Inspired Authorship. A Survey of Variants and Functions in the European- Christian Tradition”), and Jörg Quenzer (“Concepts of Authorship in Heian period monogatari literature”). As the titles of their presenta- tions show, we had initially envisioned a volume that would have stretched over the whole Eurasian continent, but this idea proved impractical in the end, and we have now confined ourselves to East Asian literatures from the beginning to early modernity (i.e., 17th century China). Even so, we are painfully aware that we can cover only small and disconnected parts of this ground. It is our hope, however, that we help with this volume to keep the issue of author- ship in East Asia on the map, and that we provide useful ideas and concepts for expanding it. Both the symposium and the preparation of the volume were made possible through financial support from our home institutions, Uni- versity of Zurich and Bonn University, and through the work of many people. Esther Fischer was crucial in organising and running the symposium in 2010, Felix Herrmann copy-edited and formatted the volume to make it presentable to our publisher and reviewers, two anonymous peers provided helpful insights and criticisms, and 2 RAJI C STEINECK CHRISTIAN SCHWERMANN Qin Higley guided us safely through the publishing process at Brill. We are deeply grateful to all of them. Zurich and Bonn, August 2013 Raji Steineck and Christian Schwermann INTRODUCTION 3 INTRODUCTION Raji C. Steineck and Christian Schwermann The author: a theoretical vexation The author was declared dead forty years ago, with a French fan- fare.1 This polemical announcement, echoed since the 1990s by en- thusiasts of digital culture2, was not the end, but rather the begin- ning of a theoretical discussion that has served to differentiate and clarify our notions of authorship.3 By now, it seems safe to say that the author, as a concept, has returned for good. He has proved an inevitable category for interpretation, and not only a necessary evil, but also “useful” in many respects. The author that needed to “die” was the author with a capital A, the figure of an omnipotent source of the text and its meaning. This author concept has been demon- strated to be a product of a specific cultural discourse.4 Far from be- ing universal, it is firmly embedded in European classical modern- ity.5 1 Roland Barthes, “La mort de l‘auteur”, in: Œuvres complètes II: 1966–1973, ed. by Éric Marty, Nouvelle édition, Paris: Seuil, 2004: 491-95; Julia Kristeva, “Le mot, le dialogue et le roman”, in: Sēmeiōtikē: recherches pour une sémanalyse, Collection Points 96 Paris: Seuil, 1978: 82–112. 2 George Landow, Hypertext 3.0 : critical theory and new media in an era of globalization, 3rd ed.

Pease, “Author”, in: Burke, ed.: Authorship: From Plato to the 4 RAJI C STEINECK CHRISTIAN SCHWERMANN The deconstruction of the author as a given unit and safe anchor for validity in interpretation and the subsequent reconstruction of authorship as a valuable category for analysis have opened up new avenues for research. This is especially true for the fields of pre- modern and non-European literature, where the author paradigm had often been more of a hindrance to the appreciation and inter- pretation of the texts in question.6 Reconstructed models of author- ship have thus been greeted with some enthusiasm, and have been applied to various works and corpora, from the Chinese Book of Changes (Yijing 易經)7 to the Old Testament’s Book of Kings8, from Chaucer9 to the Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari 源氏物語).10 This volume seeks to build on this development, and to provide a survey of forms, models and concepts of authorship in traditional Asian literatures. Authorship, revisited: Results from the theoretical dispute In the following paragraphs, we would like to summarise some es- sential points from the critical discussion of authorship, and syn- thesise these into an operational model. The aim of this model is not to formulate a new theory or even philosophy of authorship, but rather to provide a tool for the description and differentiation of specific forms of authorship through textual and contextual analys- is.

  • The Cultural and Religious Background of Sexual Vampirism in Ancient China
    Theology & Sexuality Volume 12(3): 285-308 Copyright © 2006 SAGE Publications London, Thousand Oaks CA, New Delhi http://TSE.sagepub.com DOI: 10.1177/1355835806065383 The Cultural and Religious Background of Sexual Vampirism in Ancient China Paul R. Goldin [email protected] Abstract This paper considers sexual macrobiotic techniques of ancient China in their cultural and religious milieu, focusing on the text known as Secret Instructions ofthe Jade Bedchamber, which explains how the Spirit Mother of the West, originally an ordinary human being like anyone else, devoured the life force of numerous young boys by copulating with them, and there- by transformed herself into a famed goddess. Although many previous studies of Chinese sexuality have highlighted such methods (the noted historian R.H. van Gulik was the first to refer to them as 'sexual vampirism'), it has rarely been asked why learned and intelligent people of the past took them seriously. The inquiry here, by considering some of the most common ancient criticisms of these practices, concludes that practitioners did not regard decay as an inescapable characteristic of matter; consequently it was widely believed that, if the cosmic processes were correctly under- stood, one could devise techniques that may forestall senectitude indefinitely. Keywords: sexual vampirism, macrobiotics, sex practices, Chinese religion, qi, Daoism Secret Instructions ofthe Jade Bedchamber {Yufang bijue S Ml^^) is a macro- biotic manual, aimed at men of leisure wealthy enough to own harems, outlining a regimen of sexual exercises that is supposed to confer immor- tality if practiced over a sufficient period. The original work is lost, but substantial fragments of it have been preserved in Ishimpo B'O:^, a Japanese chrestomathy of Chinese medical texts compiled by Tamba Yasuyori ^MMU (912-995) in 982.

  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities. Bernhard SCHEID is a senior research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the history of Japanese religions and the interaction of Buddhism with local religions, in particular with Japanese Shintō. Max Deeg, Bernhard Scheid (eds.)

  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.

  • Confessional Peculiarity of Chinese Islam Nurzat M
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 15, 7906-7915 OPEN ACCESS Confessional Peculiarity of Chinese Islam Nurzat M. Mukana, Sagadi B. Bulekbayeva, Ainura D. Kurmanaliyevaa, Sultanmurat U. Abzhalova and Bekzhan B. Meirbayeva aAl-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, KAZAKHSTAN ABSTRACT This paper considers features of Islam among Muslim peoples in China. Along with the traditional religions of China - Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam influenced noticeable impact on the formation of Chinese civilization. The followers of Islam have a significant impact on ethno-religious, political, economic and cultural relations of the Chinese society. Ethno-cultural heterogeneity of Chinese Islam has defined its confessional identity. The peculiarity of Chinese Islam is determined, firstly, with its religious heterogeneity. In China there all three main branches of Islam: Sunnism, Shiism, and Sufism. Secondly, the unique nature of Chinese Islam is defined by close relationship with the traditional religions of China (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism) and Chinese population folk beliefs. Chinese Islam has incorporated many specific feat ures of the traditional religious culture of China, which heavily influenced on the religious consciousness and religious activities of Chinese Muslims. KEYWORDS ARTICLE HISTORY Chinese Muslims, history of Islam, confessional Received 21 March 2016 heterogeneity, Islamic branches, religions of China Revised 05 June 2016 Accepted 19 June 2016 Introduction Political and ethno-cultural processes taking place in contemporary Chinese society lead us to a deeper study of the religious history of China (Ho et al., 2014). Along with the traditional religions of China - Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam influenced noticeable impact on the formation of Chinese civilization (Tsin, 2009; Erie & Carlson, 2014; Gulfiia, Parfilova & Karimova, 2016).
