    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • My Time at the United Nations University Some Memories∗
    My Time at the United Nations University Some Memories∗ Kees Middelburg Foreword Medio 1995 I was approached with the request to consider applying for the job of senior research fellow at the United Nations University International Institute for Software Technology (UNU-IIST) in Macau. At the time UNU-IIST trained young graduated people from developing countries in doing computer science re- search or advanced software development, gave post-graduate computer science courses and software engineering courses in developing countries, assisted lec- turers at universities in developing countries with the development of a software engineering curriculum, et cetera. I applied for the job and was appointed for the calendar years 1996 and 1997. My work included training people in doing computer science research and giving post-graduate computer science courses. Both took place in Macau as well as developing countries. This means that for two years I lived basically in Macau and traveled frequently to developing countries. During these two years the idea developed to write down memories of my time at UNU-IIST, but my job took too much time to do so. Prompted by my coming retirement, I took up this writing in 2012 in the form of a blog. Below, I have brought together the blog posts concerned. ∗Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Inter- national License (for details, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). 1 The Very First Days On New Years Day 1996 and the next day, the very first days of my appointment at UNU-IIST, I travelled from Voorschoten, the Dutch village where I lived, to Macau.

CARSTENS* Abstract This paper examines spiritual beliefs and practices in the Hakka Malaysian community of Pulai, focusing on the pantheon of deities and spirits worshipped and propitiated; the system of local beliefs in the power and efficacy of these deities; and the manner in which individuals and families have reproduced and altered these spiritual beliefs over time. Unlike my previous writings about religion in Pulai, which have emphasized the sociological components of local religion practices, my goal here is to explore the cosmological system, world view, and system of meanings conveyed through religious practices in this Hakka village. As with many Chinese communities, the list of spirits who are propitiated in Pulai is rather lengthy.
