East Asian Languages & Civilizations News and Updates From Academic Year 2017 - 2018 From the Chair Friends and Colleagues: In This Issue We are so happy to be sending the inaugural newsletter of the Department of East Asian Language and Civilizations. As the more than 3 Faculty Profiles seventy faculty and alumni who were at the EALC lunch during the annual meeting of the Association of Asian Studies in Washington, D.C., now know, 10 Faculty Bookshelf we are a very different department from the one many of you remember. 12 Associated Faculty In 2002, eight faculty members boldly and ambitiously became Penn’s first Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. We are a small 15 Student Prizes department with a huge vision: we seek to offer undergraduates the stongest, most diverse, and most rigorous education available in the East Asian 16 Chinese Language Program Humanities in North America; we seek to train Ph. D. students who become 18 Japanese Language Program the intellectual leaders in the East Asian Humanities in future generations; and we have crafted a vibrant masters program in which students with career 20 Korean Language Program ambitions from entry into Ph. D. programs to employment in the public or private sector, government service, and education are poised to accomplish 22 Van Pelt Library those goals. 24 Graduate Student Highlights Striving to prepare students for careers that span this century, we have reconfigured ourselves in four streams: China, Korea, Japan, and Inner 26 Body and Cosmos Asia. Every major and every graduate students trains in at least two of these areas, undergraduates and MA students through course requirements and Ph. 28 Naked Text D. students through teaching fellow assignments. We have maintained the 29 Heresy in Pre-Modern China language requirements that were in place when you were here: a minimum of three years of an East Asian language for our undergraduates and three 30 Bodies and Borders languages in addition to English for our Ph. D. students, with the new option of three of those being East Asian languages. We pride ourselves in main- taining extremely high standards for the second East Asian language for graduate students. We now offer summer graduate programs in Japanese 2018 for Sinologists and Mongolian. For the last two summers we have hosted Published by the Department of East Startalk to train high school Chinese teachers, and we have had NEH summer Asian Languages & Civilizations seminars to introduce Mongolia to educators two of the last three summers. If you are interested in employing an EALC undergraduate or University of Pennsylvania offering one of our students a research experience during the summer, if 255 S. 36th Street you want to fund a student at any level to study language, visit archives, or do Philadelphia, PA 19104 fieldwork in East Asia, let us know. Stay in touch: tell your former classmates Phone: 215-898-7466 who might not be on our alumni list to contact us.

    REVIEW ESSAY Situating the History of Medicine Within Chinese History

    REVIEW ESSAY Situating the History of Medicine within Chinese History Marta Hanson, John Hopkins University Andrew Schonebaum. Novel Medicine: Healing, Literature, and Popular Knowledge in Early Modern China. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2016. 296 pp. $50 (cloth); $30 (paper). Hilary A. Smith. Forgotten Disease: Illnesses Transformed in Chinese Medicine. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2017. 248 pp. $85 (cloth); $25 (paper/e-book). The past ten years have seen the publication of more than seventy English-language monographs, edited books, translations, dictionaries, and even a three-volume catalogue, related to the history of medicine in China. Such substantive, varied, and often ground-breaking scholarship is finally starting to do justice to the complexity of the subject and the richness of the sources vis-à-vis the better known, and thus more widely taught, history of European and Anglo-American medicine from antiquity to the modern world. Collectively bringing the field of the history of medicine in China to a new level of synthesis, these works not only demonstrate how integral the history of medicine and public health is to Chinese history but also should help facilitate the integration of East Asian medical history into more broadly conceived global histories of medicine and public health. This major boon in publications on the medical history of China over the past decade also reveals the wide-ranging methods and diverse approaches scholars have chosen to frame, and thereby exert heuristic control over, what arguably has become newly visible as the contours of a vast, complex, and essential subject of not just Chinese but human history.

A decade later, however, the global village still faces the continued reality of suffering, whether it is the slaughter of innocents in politically volatile regions, the ongoing economic crisis that currently roils the world financial system, or repeated natural disasters. Buddhism has always taught that the world is inherently unstable and its teachings are rooted in the perception of the three marks that govern all conditioned existence: impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Indeed, the veracity of the Buddhist worldview continues to be borne out by our collective experience today.

    1 Regulatory and Policy Framework for Religion During The

    1 FREEDOM OF RELIGION Regulatory and Policy Framework for Religion During the Commission’s 2015 reporting year, the Chinese gov- ernment and Communist Party continued to restrict freedom of re- ligion in China. China’s Constitution guarantees ‘‘freedom of reli- gious belief’’ 1 but limits protection of religious activities to ‘‘normal religious activities.’’ 2 This narrow protection contravenes inter- national human rights standards. Article 18 of the Universal Dec- laration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 18 of the Inter- national Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)—the lat- ter of which China has signed 3 and stated its intent to ratify 4— recognize not only an individual’s right to adopt a religion or belief, but also the freedom to manifest one’s religion in ‘‘worship, observ- ance, practice and teaching.’’ 5 The Chinese government continued to recognize only five reli- gions: Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, and Taoism. The 2005 Regulations on Religious Affairs (RRA) require groups wishing to practice these religions to register with the government and subject such groups to government controls.6 The government and Party control religious affairs mainly through the State Ad- ministration for Religious Affairs (SARA) and lower level religious affairs bureaus under the State Council,7 the Party Central Com- mittee United Front Work Department (UFWD),8 and the five ‘‘pa- triotic’’ religious associations—the Buddhist Association of China (BAC), the Catholic Patriotic Association of China (CPA), the Is- lamic

    Maritime Indonesia and the Archipelagic Outlook Some Reflections from a Multidisciplinary Perspective on Old Port Cities in Java

Lauder 97–120, Maritime Indonesia 97 Maritime Indonesia and the Archipelagic Outlook Some reflections from a multidisciplinary perspective on old port cities in Java Multamia R.M.T. Lauder and Allan F. Lauder Abstract The present paper reflects on Indonesia’s status as an archipelagic state and a maritime nation from a historical perspective. It explores the background of a multi-year research project into Indonesia’s maritime past currently being undertaken at the Humanities Faculty of Universitas Indonesia. The multidisciplinary research uses toponymy, epigraphy, philology, and linguistic lines of analysis in examining old inscriptions and manuscripts and also includes site visits to a number of old port cities across the archipelago. We present here some of the core concepts behind the research such as the importance of the ancient port cities in a network of maritime trade and diplomacy, and link them to some contemporary issues such as the Archipelagic Outlook. This is based on a concept of territorial integrity that reflects Indonesia’s national identity and aspirations. It is hoped that the paper can extend the discussion about efforts to make maritime affairs a strategic geopolitical goal along with restoring Indonesia’s identity as a maritime nation. Allan F. Lauder is a guest lecturer in the Post Graduate Linguistics Department program at the Humanities Faculty of the Universitas Indonesia. Allan obtained his MA in the English Language at the Department of English Language and Literature, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore, 1988 – 1990 and his Doctorate Degree in Applied Linguistics, English Language at Atma Jaya University.

    Reviews 143 Michel Strickmann, Chinese Magical Medicine, ed. Bernard Faure. Stanford: Stanford University Press (Asian Religions and Cultures), 2002. xii, 418 pp., 14 ill. Nathan Sivin [Nathan Sivin is Professor of Chinese Culture and of the History of Science Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania. He recently completed Granting the Sea- sons, a translation and study of the Shou shi li 授 時 曆 (1280).] Why it should be desirable to review a book on magical medicine in this journal may not be intuitively obvious. Joseph Needham and Lu Gwei-djen once asserted that, although at times the imperial court valued “magico-religious techniques”, such phenomena remained marginal, for “from the beginning Chinese medicine was rational through and through.”1 They and their contemporaries defined early medicine as any precur- sor to the professional, science-based knowledge of today. But that definition, and the faith that early practitioners were striving toward medicine as we know it, expired a generation ago. Since then, historians have turned their attention away from medicine in this narrow teleological sense and toward health care. That rubric includes all the means a culture offers to maintain health, cure illness, and help the body to re- cover from injury, from self-care to faith healing to the work of theoreticians. This widening of focus has led scholars to recognize the constant interaction in imperial China between therapists high and low, as well as the ubiquity of sym- bolic therapy and social ritual in all healing. Even today, physicians—no matter how rusty their biochemistry—take on the mantle of the laboratory scientist by manipulating technical symbols, and wear that of the ritualist in their highly structured encounters with patients.

    How Existing Writing Norms are Selected and Implemented for Publishing Chinese Community Newspapers in Australia: Meeting Points of Leadership and Language Management Studies* journal or Global communication studies publication title volume 9 page range 5-27 year 2020-03 URL http://id.nii.ac.jp/1092/00001667/ asKUIS 著作権ポリシーを参照のこと How Existing Writing Norms are Selected and Implemented for Publishing Chinese Community Newspapers in Australia: Meeting Points of Leadership and Language Management Studies* FAN Sau Kuen This paper aims to investigate language problems confronted by editors for the publication of Chinese community newspapers in Australia. It is hypothesized that language problems particularly related to the selection and implementation of writing norms are salient due to the existence of (1) Australia’s diverse Chinese communities, and (2) various Chinese writing standards in the global context. On the basis of data collected through interviews with the chief editor of two different Chinese community newspapers, I will discuss the signifi cance of two driving forces behind their selection and implementation of different writing norms: one derived from the process of their language management as a language user, and another one from the process in their development as a leader. According to the language management theory (cf. Neustupný 1985; Jernudd and Neustupný 1987), I will fi rst analyze their meta-linguistic behavior in response to noted deviations from norms that they possess. After that, I will look at how they attempt to “make real a vision in collaboration with others” (Knight and Candlin, 2015:36) from the perspective of leadership development. It is suggested that the approaches of language management and leadership studies are complementary for the understanding of the complexity of language problems in multicultural societies.
