Reliable Websites for the Study of Daoism Reliable websites for the study of Daoism his is a critical list divided into academic and adherent websites. The most Treliable electronic sources are found on the websites of educational institutions (.edu) and (technically non-profit) organizations (.org); less reliable resources are those of personal and commercial sites (.biz, .com, .info, .net). For academic infor- mation, individuals are best advised to use Google Scholar and the ATLA and JSTOR databases. The following academic websites offer accurate and reliable information on the religious tradition which is Daoism. These websites help those with the interest to develop an informed perspective on the Daoist tradition. The adherent websites are associated with physically existing organizations and more “tradition-based” forms of Daoism. Note that many of the most tradition-based Daoist teachers and communities do not have websites. The following websites are offered as a glimpse into the landscape of “global Daoism.” However, no teacher or organi- zation is recommended. Potential adherents must use their own common sense in selecting a teacher and follow their own affinities. The “confirmed”/“unconfirmed” distinction simply refers to whether or not we have direct evidence to support the teacher’s or organization’s claims; it has nothing to do with issues of authenticity and legitimacy. For insights into the entire spectrum of self-identified Daoist organizations in America, see ‘Daoist Organizations in North America’ by Louis Komjathy. Note that many of those organizations are part of a new form of hybrid spirituality best referred to as “Popular Western Taoism” (PWT), which has very little connection to the Chinese religious tradition which is Daoism. Academic: Western languages Center for Daoist Studies (CDS). Research and education branch of the Daoist Foundation, a non-profit religious and educational organization dedicated to preserving and transmitting traditional Daoist culture. Under the direction of Dr. Louis Komjathy http://www.bloomsbury.com/the-daoist-tradition-9781441168733/ © Louis Komjathy (2013) The Daoist Tradition Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing PLC 康思奇 (Ph.D., Religious Studies; Boston University) of the University of San Diego and Kate Townsend 唐鄉恩 (LMP, L.Ac.). Provides accurate and reliable information on Daoism as a religious tradition, including recognition of non-Chinese forms of Daoism. Includes critical terms for Daoist Studies, links to basic and advanced resources for Daoist Studies, as well as opportunities for further education. Also facilitates a variety of research projects and Daoist culture-preserving activities. The homepage lists the following links: critical terms; basic resources; advanced resources; public offerings; projects; weblinks; and support. Centre for the Study of Daoist Culture (CSDC). Associated with the Chinese University of Hong Kong and funded by the Hong Kong-based Fung Ying Seen Koon 蓬瀛仙館. Provides information on CSDC’s various activities and projects. The homepage lists the following links: background and aims; activities; courses; research; and new books in Daoist Studies. Daoism and Science. Associated with the Institute of Religion, Science and Social Studies of Shandong University and under the direction of Dr. JIANG Sheng 姜生, Taishan Scholar and Professor of History at Shandong University. This is one of the main research organizations in China conducting detailed historical research on Daoism and science. Daoist Iconography Project (DIP). Associated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the Honolulu Academy of Arts and under the direction of Dr. Poul Andersen 安保 羅 (Ph.D., Humanities; University of Copenhagen) of the University of Hawaii. The goal of the project is to create an online research database of the Daoist pantheon. Daoist Studies Website. Created and maintained by Dr. James Miller 苗建時 (Ph.D., Religious Studies; Boston University) of Queen’s University. Contains important notifications on conferences, research on Daoism, and recent publications in Daoist Studies. It maintains a list of scholars interested in Daoism as well as the homepage of the AAR Daoist Studies Group. Also includes a website on American Daoist Cultivation, which has interviews with self-identified American Daoists engaging in popular appropriation. The homepage lists the following links: people; events; resources; articles; and AAR. Golden Elixir Website. This is the homepage of Dr. Fabrizio Pregadio (Ph.D., East Asian Studies; Ca’ Foscari University of Venice). It combines the previously independent Golden Elixir and Taoist Studies in the World Wide Web websites. It is one of the most authoritative and exhaustive online resources for Daoist Studies. Includes research guides and working bibliographies. The homepage contains the following major subdivisions: Chinese Alchemy; Taoism and the Taoist Canon; Digital Texts; The Encyclopedia of Taoism; Great Clarity; Taoist Studies; and Chinese Studies. http://www.bloomsbury.com/the-daoist-tradition-9781441168733/ © Louis Komjathy (2013) The Daoist Tradition Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Michael Saso’s Homepage. This is the personal website of Dr. Michael Saso 蘇海涵 (Ph.D., Chinese Religion; University of London), Professor Emeritus of the University of Hawaii. Saso is also an ordained Jesuit Catholic and Zhengyi Daoist priest. The website includes rare materials collected by Saso as well as some of his writings on Daoism. The website also includes some of Saso’s recordings of Daoist ritual with helpful explanations. Open Directory Project. The Open Directory Project (ODP), also known as DMOZ, is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the World Wide Web. Connected with the Google search engine (www.google.com), it is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. It indexes almost four million websites, involves almost 60,000 editors, and consists of almost 500,000 categories. DMOZ is an acronym for Directory Mozilla, reflecting its loose association with Netscape’s Mozilla Project. In terms of Daoism and Daoist Studies, DMOZ contains numerous indexed and categorized links. While most of these websites present inaccurate information on the Daoist tradition, there is some helpful infor- mation for finding Daoist teachers and organizations in North America and for understanding the ways in which “Daoism” is constructed and presented in the West. These web-links may be found under the following categories and subcategories: Society and Religion and Spirituality/Taoism. Pluralism Project. Under the direction of Dr. Diana Eck (Ph.D., Religious Studies; Harvard University) of Harvard University, this is the website of Harvard University’s Pluralism Project, which aims at documenting the religiously pluralistic landscape of America. In terms of the study of Daoism, the website’s directory contains contact information on Daoist organizations in North America, which is somewhat outdated and has major omissions. Note that the project’s researchers utilize the principle of self-identification as the criterion for “Daoist.” This means that groups such as Yiguan dao, a Taiwanese popular religious tradition which calls itself “Daoist” because of legal restrictions on religious identification in Taiwan, is placed under “Taoism” in the directory. Some groups also utilize such recognition to increase their legitimacy and cultural capital. Russell Kirkland’s Homepage. Connected to the University of Georgia’s website, this is the homepage of Dr. Russell Kirkland 柯克蘭 (Ph.D., Chinese Language and Culture; Indiana University), a professor of Chinese religions specializing in Daoism at the University of Georgia. It allows access to Kirkland’s university course syllabi and various publications. The homepage lists the following links: curriculum vitae; publica- tions; syllabi; study guides; and links. Taoism and the Arts of China. This is a website associated with the art exhibition “Taoism and the Arts of China.” The exhibition was sponsored by the Art Institute of Chicago and organized by Dr. Stephen Little (Ph.D., Asian Art; Yale University).

It also included a symposium at the Art Institute on December 2 and 3, 2000. Taoism Information Page. This website provides decent basic information on the history and study of Daoism and related subjects. It is based at the University of Florida and is maintained by Dr. Gene Thursby (Ph.D., Religion; Duke University) of the University of Florida. The homepage lists the following links: introductions to Daoism; Chinese language and culture; classical texts; acupuncture, alchemy, and Fengshui; Buddhism and Confucianism; Chinese philosophy; Daoism and martial arts; Daoism and modernity; Daoist commercial sites; and other information sources. Taoist Culture and Information Centre. Based in Hong Kong, this website contains helpful and accurate information on the Chinese Daoist tradition.

Post-Imperialism: The Postage Stamps and Postal History of Hong Kong, 1842-1997 Adam Richard Gilbert A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2018 Abstract This thesis explores the intricate relationship between postage stamps and the British representation of Hong Kong on a domestic and international level between 1840 and 1997. It examines a variety of underutilised sources through an interdisciplinary methodology influenced by scholars of visual culture, British imperialism, nationalism, and Hong Kong. Through a close reading of published accounts and postal stationery, key imagery and narratives are highlighted and scrutinised. A chronological comparison between the written accounts of visitors between 1840 and 1940, and the postage stamps produced after 1945 emphasises how key themes and icons were used across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to represent the British Colony across time.
