  • Goethe, the Japanese National Identity Through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989
    Jahrbuch für Internationale Germanistik pen Jahrgang LI – Heft 1 | Peter Lang, Bern | S. 57–100 Goethe, the Japanese National Identity through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989 By Stefan Keppler-Tasaki and Seiko Tasaki, Tokyo Dedicated to A . Charles Muller on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Tokyo This is a study of the alleged “singular reception career”1 that Goethe experi- enced in Japan from 1889 to 1989, i. e., from the first translation of theMi gnon song to the last issues of the Neo Faust manga series . In its path, we will high- light six areas of discourse which concern the most prominent historical figures resp. figurations involved here: (1) the distinct academic schools of thought aligned with the topic “Goethe in Japan” since Kimura Kinji 木村謹治, (2) the tentative Japanification of Goethe by Thomas Mann and Gottfried Benn, (3) the recognition of the (un-)German classical writer in the circle of the Japanese national author Mori Ōgai 森鴎外, as well as Goethe’s rich resonances in (4) Japanese suicide ideals since the early days of Wertherism (Ueruteru-zumu ウェル テルヅム), (5) the Zen Buddhist theories of Nishida Kitarō 西田幾多郎 and D . T . Suzuki 鈴木大拙, and lastly (6) works of popular culture by Kurosawa Akira 黒澤明 and Tezuka Osamu 手塚治虫 . Critical appraisal of these source materials supports the thesis that the polite violence and interesting deceits of the discursive history of “Goethe, the Japanese” can mostly be traced back, other than to a form of speech in German-Japanese cultural diplomacy, to internal questions of Japanese national identity .

  • Reading List for Nepal
    Suggested Reading List for Nepal Books Secrets of the Sky Caves: Danger and Discovery on Nepal's Mustang Cliffs (Sandra K. Athans) ‘Secrets of the Sky Caves: Danger and Discovery on Nepal’s Mustang Cliffs’ is a travel account by Sandra K. Athans. It chronicles the expedition of mountaineer Pete Athans and a team of archaeologists as they brave the unforgiving climate and forbidding cliffs to uncover the titular sky caves. The narrative tracks the intrepid explorers as they come across 3000-year-old burial chambers, ancient murals and mummies, priceless artefacts and manuscripts and learn about the early kingdom that once thrived there. East of Lo Monthang: In the Land of Mustang (Peter Matthiessen) ‘East of Lo Monthang: In the Land of Mustang’ written by Peter Mathiessen is in equal parts, thrilling and charming. Aided by correspondent-photographer Thomas Laird’s arresting images, the coffee table-style travelogue takes the reader on a journey to Lo Manthang, an arid region with awe-inspiring vistas. In the course of their travels, they attend local festivals, visit gompas, meet nomads, all of which is superbly portrayed in the book. The Living Goddess: A Journey into the Heart of Kathmandu (Isabella Tree) Isabella Tree delves wholeheartedly into the ancient Nepalese tradition of Kumari, where a young girl, yet to attain puberty, is chosen as the embodiment of the goddess or ‘Devi’, in her book ‘The Living Goddess: A Journey into the Heart of Kathmandu’. The author depicts this age-old practice shrouded in a veil of secrecy and myths, and examines the antiquities, beliefs and legends of this country where Hindu kings seek blessings from a Buddhist girl.

Doi: 10.1162/jcws.2006.8.3.34. http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/jcws.2006.8.3.34 Reviewed by Parshotam Mehra, Panjab University in Chandigarh (India) Published by H-Diplo on 9 September 2007 summary statement of Qiang Zhai’s detailed presentation will help put its major thrust into sharper focus. Washington was keen to help Tibet but keener still that Athe “primary responsibility” of supporting Tibet’s cause be taken up by India - and the U.K. It made a number of suggestions starting with the proposal that New Delhi serve as the venue for a U.S.-Tibet dialogue. Later it was prepared for “procurement and financing” of military aid - provided New Delhi would ensure delivery across its territory. More, it was ready to cooperate with India “in every possible way” to forestall a Chinese conquest of Tibet and proposed inter alia joint New Delhi-Western operations. Although it would not lodge any formal protest it was less than happy when India and the U.K. managed to get a discussion of the Chinese aggression in Tibet off the U.N. agenda. Reactions in New Delhi and Whitehall were, for most part, in consonance. Nehru responded by underlining that talks in New Delhi between the U.S. and Tibet would be counter-productive. They would attract wide publicity and only “speed up” Beijing’s plans for a take-over.

  • Claiming Territory: Colonial State Space and the Making of British India’S North-West Frontier
    CLAIMING TERRITORY: COLONIAL STATE SPACE AND THE MAKING OF BRITISH INDIA’S NORTH-WEST FRONTIER A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Jason G. Cons January 2005 © 2005 Jason G. Cons ABSTRACT In this thesis, I examine the discursive construction of colonial state space in the context of British India’s turn of the century North-West Frontier. My central argument is that notions of a uniform state space posited in official theorizations of the frontier need to be reexamined not as evidence of a particular kind of rule, but rather as a claim to having accomplished it. Drawing on new colonial historiographies that suggest ways of reading archives and archival documents for their silences and on historical sociological understandings of state-formation, I offer close readings of three different kinds of documents: writing about the North-West Frontier by members of the colonial administration, annual general reports of the Survey of India, and narratives written by colonial frontier officers detailing their time and experience of “making” the frontier. I begin by looking at the writings of George Nathanial Curzon and others attempting to theorize the concept of frontiers in turn of the century political discourse. Framed against the backdrop of the “Great Game” for empire with Russia and the progressive territorial consolidation of colonial frontiers into borders in the late 19th century, these arguments constitute what I call a “colonial theory of frontiers.” This theory simultaneously naturalizes colonial space and presents borders as the inevitable result of colonial expansion.

Orientalist Commercializations: Tibetan Buddhism in American Popular Film Abstract Many contemporary American popular films are presenting us with particular views of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. Unfortunately, the views these movies present are often misleading. In this essay I will identify four false characterizations of Tibetan Buddhism, as described by Tibetologist Donald Lopez, characterizations that have been refuted by post-colonial scholarship. I will then show how these misleading characterizations make their way into three contemporary films, Seven Years in Tibet, Kundun and Little Buddha. Finally, I will offer an explanation for the American fascination with Tibet as Tibetan culture is represented in these films. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol2/iss2/5 Mullen: Orientalist Commercializations Tibetan religion and culture are experiencing an unparalleled popularity. Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan history are commonly the subjects of Hollywood films.

  • 2 | White-Dominated Cultural Appropriation in the Publishing Industry
    2 | White-Dominated Cultural Appropriation in the Publishing Industry Zhinan Yu, Department of Communication This chapter seeks to explore cultural appropriation as a diverse, ubiquitous, and morally problematic phenomenon (Matthes, 2016, p. 344) emerging particularly in white writers’ novels. In approaching this goal, a case study based on English writer James Hilton’s best-known novel Lost Horizon (1933) will be given through addressing relevant theoretical concepts including imperialist literature, colonialism and orientalism. The case study aims at exemplifying how white-dominated cultural appropriation implemented by writer’s misuses and misperceptions toward Asian cultures. Then, in the second part of this chapter, multifaceted perspectives will be drawn into the discussion for giving cultural appropriation a further sight beyond the novel itself, and pay attention to the book publishing industry as an international yet still race-biased business in terms of globalization. Keywords: cultural appropriation; imperialist literature; white-dominated; Lost Horizon; book publishing; globalization. Introduction In a 2015 article published in The Guardian, novelist, essayist and literary critic Anjali Enjeti astutely asserted that writers of colour are “severely under-represented in the literary world”. In this piece, Enjeti chronicles a controversy over the Best American Poets 2015 anthology, wherein the volume’s editor, Sherman Alexie, decided to publish the poem “The Bees, the Flowers, Jesus, Ancient Tigers, Poseidon, Adam and Eve” despite the author’s use of a racialized pseudonym. After selecting the poem, Alexie found out that the poem’s author, Yi-Fen Chou, was actually the Chinese pseudonym for Michael Derrick Hudson, a white man from Wabash, Indiana. In his bio as Yi-Fen Chou, the author indicates that this poem was rejected 40 times under his real name, but only rejected 9 times under his pen name, and he has realized he could Copyright © 2018 Yu.

  • Sir Charles Bell, K.C.I.E., C.M.G., F.R.G.S. by the Death of Sir Charles Alfred Bell We Have Lost a Leading Scholar of Current Tibetan
    OBITUARY NOTICE Sir Charles Bell, K.C.I.E., C.M.G., F.R.G.S. By the death of Sir Charles Alfred Bell we have lost a leading scholar of current Tibetan. His Grammar and his Dictionary of Colloquial Tibetan (1905) are standard works, and in his three works, Tibet Past and Present (1924), The People of Tibet (1928), and The Religion of Tibet (1931), he has given the most complete and authentic account of that country, its history, its people, and its religion, both from original Tibetan sources and from his own intimate knowledge of the country. Bell was the son of an Indian civilian. He was educated at Winchester, where he was a scholar, and at New College, Oxford. He entered the Indian Civil Service in Bengal in 1891, and in 1904 was appointed Assistant Political Officer in Sikkim, being promoted its Political Officer in 1908. He conducted a Political Mission to Bhutan in 1910, concluding a Treaty by which its foreign relations were placed under the British Government. He was employed at the Tibet Conference, in India, between Great Britain, China, and Tibet in 1913. He retired from the Indian Civil Service in 1919, but was recalled to conduct a Diplomatic Mission to Lhasa in 192D, remaining there for eleven months. Afterwards he travelled in Tibet, Mongolia, and Siberia. In 1937 he received the Lawrence Memorial Medal of the Royal Central Asian Society. Sir Charles Bell began his study of Tibetan in 1900, when he was Joint Magistrate at Darjeeling, and he compiled his Grammar and Dictionary of Colloquial Tibetan when he was Sub-Divisional Officer of Kalimpong in that District, both under the present writer.

    Smyrna’s Ashes Humanitarianism, Genocide, and the Birth of the Middle East Michelle Tusan Published in association with the University of California Press “Set against one of the most horrible atrocities of the early twentieth century, the ethnic cleansing of Western Anatolia and the burning of the city of Izmir, Smyrna’s Ashes is an important contribution to our understanding of how hu- manitarian thinking shaped British foreign and military policy in the Late Ottoman Eastern Mediterranean. Based on rigorous archival research and scholarship, well written, and compelling, it is a welcome addition to the growing literature on humanitarianism and the history of human rights.” kEitH dAvid wAtEnpAugh, University of California, Davis “Tusan shows vividly and compassionately how Britain’s attempt to build a ‘Near East’ in its own image upon the ruins of the Ottoman Empire served as a prelude to today’s Middle East of nation-states.” pAEtEr M ndlEr, University of Cambridge “Traces an important but neglected strand in the history of British humanitarianism, showing how its efforts to aid Ottoman Christians were inextricably enmeshed in impe- rial and cultural agendas and helped to contribute to the creation of the modern Middle East.” dAnE kEnnEdy, The George Washington University “An original and meticulously researched contribution to our understandings of British imperial, gender, and cultural history.

Ich möchte an dieser Stelle Prof. Leatitia Böhm und PD Dr. Helmut Zedelmaier, die mich ursprünglich ermutigt, meine Aufmerksamkeit der Geschichte der deutsch-chinesischen Beziehungen zuzuwenden, den wärmsten Dank sagen. Für die Förderung der Allgemeinen Stiftung Freiburg und hier besonders des Stiftungsdirektors Lothar Böhler, Prof. Dr. Hellgard Rauh und Edith Wäger sei für ihre finanziellen Unterstützungen gedankt, was mir die Möglichkeit gab, ohne materielle Sorgen die Arbeit fertigzustellen und zu publizieren. Ein besonderes Wort des Dankes gilt einigen Freunden, Ursula Seidler, Günter Sokol, Sabine Schmidt und Margit Florl-Mahmoudi, die mir beim Korrekturlesen geholfen haben. Mein innigster Dank gilt jedoch meinem verstorbenen Bruder, ohne dessen Anteilnahme und Unterstützung, insbesondere bei der Beschaffung von chinesischem Material, ich meine Arbeit nicht hätte abschließen können.
