We began asking other scholars of our acquaintance if they would be interested in putting together a modest panel for the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion on the topic of religious change in postwar Taiwan. The response was so over- whelming that we ultimately created two panels, the second for the annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies. From there, it was nat- ural to exploit the momentum gained from those panels and try to collect polished versions of the papers into a book. We did it, and here it is. It is unfortunate that Professor Julian Pas passed away shortly after com- pleting the first revision of his essay and could not, therefore, attend to subsequent revisions or see its publication here. The final editing was done by Philip Clart and Charles Jones, with timely assistance from Paul Katz. Both editors hope that this, Professor Pas’ last scholarly essay, will serve both to memorialize him and to inspire readers to search out other materials by this fine scholar. This volume is dedicated to his memory. We would like to thank Patricia Crosby of the University of Hawai‘i Press for her support of this endeavor. As novices in the book-editing business, we could not have finished this project without her solid advice and pertinent suggestions. We would also like to recognize the contribution of the anony- ˙xi 00FMClart 7/25/03 8:37 AM Page x Preface mous reviewers for the University of Hawai‘i Press and, most of all, the patience of the contributors to this collection, who remained committed to a publication project that took longer than we originally expected. Well, gut Ding will Weile haben, as the German proverb goes, and we hope that the finished product is, indeed, a “good thing” that was worth waiting for. A note on the romanization conventions employed in this volume: As a rule, the Hanyu pinyin system is used for the romanization of Chinese terms and names, unless another spelling is in general use. Such exceptions include some place-names (e.g., Taipei rather than Taibei, Kaohsiung rather than Gaoxiong), names of well-known figures (e.g., Chiang Ching-kuo rather than Jiang Jingguo, Shih Ming-te rather than Shi Mingde), and names of Taiwanese scholars who use a nonstandard romanization of their name in their own English publications (e.g., Chiu Hei-yuan rather than Qu Haiyuan, Sung Kwang-yu rather than Song Guangyu). In all such cases, the Hanyu pinyin version of the name is provided parenthetically at the first occurrence only. The editors would like to thank the School of Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America for financial assistance with the preparation of the frontispiece map, and the Catholic University of America’s research grant-in-aid program for financial assistance in preparing the index. The index was prepared by Edna Paulson and Associates. x 00Intro/Clart 7/25/03 8:38 AM Page 1 INTRODUCTION Philip Clart & Charles B. Jones THIS COLLECTION starts from the premise that religious traditions are not static objects to be described and cataloged so as to arrive at an eternally valid knowledge of them. The various encyclopedias or dictionaries of reli- gion and religions now available are very useful reference works, but they may also lull their readers into a false sense of possessing authoritative, con- cise, and immutable knowledge about particular religious traditions. In fact, what such reference works provide are abstractions of traditions, summaries of core beliefs and practices that supposedly remain more or less constant over time and across di¥erent geographic areas. Such abstractions have their value—and we ourselves are certainly responsible for our own fair share of them. As ideal types, they can help us structure our perception of empirical reality, leading to an understanding of the religious phenomena with which we are faced. At the same time, we must not confuse these ideal types with the empiri- cal reality. There will always exist a—greater or smaller—gap between a tra- dition’s abstraction and its concretization in life. A lived religious tradition is a social construction that is conditioned by many factors, including, but not limited to, class, political system, climate, economic conditions, textual traditions, and institutional structures. As these factors keep changing, so do religions, even as they themselves become factors in the social construction of other areas of culture. Seen in this way, religions (like all of culture) are not things but dialectical processes, parts of the ongoing endeavor of human beings to draw on various cultural resources in order to make sense of and 1 00Intro/Clart 7/25/03 8:38 AM Page 2 PHILIP CLART & CHARLES B. JONES to inject meaning into the world that surrounds them and to enable them to live and work together. What is true for religion is equally true for academic theories of religious change. Much scholarly analysis has gone into creating theories of modern- ization and its e¥ects on religious life, practice, and belief. However, an ideal type of “modernization” runs the same risk as an ideal type of any given reli- gious tradition: the risk of providing a mirage of unity and singularity for what might really be a host of local conditions and phenomena that could more fruitfully be studied in the plural. The assumption that a single model of modernization, generated by analysis of data coming primarily from the West, could help understand what is going on with the religions of East Asia has been questioned in recent years. Tong Shijun (), for example, examines the applicability of Jürgen Habermas’ theories of modernization to China and calls attention to debates regarding modernization that took place in the early twentieth century among Chinese intellectuals. They equated “modernization” with “Westerni- zation” and utilized the native philosophical categories of ti (substance) and yong (function) to frame their questions: Were cultural and technological importations from the West simply manifestations of a yong that did not a¥ect the Chinese ti, or were yong and ti so interrelated that the one necessarily a¥ected the other? In other words, could one import Western technology without becoming Westernized? Tong himself concludes that a Western theory such as Habermas’ can, indeed, be utilized to understand China’s transformation in the twentieth century—if properly qualified. Another example is Stevan Harrell’s () anthropological look at recreational patterns in modern Taiwan. While noting that urban Taiwanese go out and play in much the same ways as Westerners, Harrell raises the question: Is this really Westernization, or is it simply that urban folk who need to get away from the bustle of city life find their activities necessarily channeled into certain choices? In doing so, he questions whether one can, as the Chinese intellectuals studied by Tong did, equate modernization with Westernization.

  • Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan
    Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan by Ya-hui Huang A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire Jan 2012 Abstract Since the 1980s, Taiwan has been subjected to heavy foreign and global influences, leading to a marked erosion of its traditional cultural forms. Indigenous traditions have had to struggle to hold their own and to strike out into new territory, adopt or adapt to Western models. For most theatres in Taiwan, Shakespeare has inevitably served as a model to be imitated and a touchstone of quality. Such Taiwanese Shakespeare performances prove to be much more than merely a combination of Shakespeare and Taiwan, constituting a new fusion which shows Taiwan as hospitable to foreign influences and unafraid to modify them for its own purposes. Nonetheless, Shakespeare performances in contemporary Taiwan are not only a demonstration of hybridity of Westernisation but also Sinification influences. Since the 1945 Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party, or KMT) takeover of Taiwan, the KMT’s one-party state has established Chinese identity over a Taiwan identity by imposing cultural assimilation through such practices as the Mandarin-only policy during the Chinese Cultural Renaissance in Taiwan. Both Taiwan and Mainland China are on the margin of a “metropolitan bank of Shakespeare knowledge” (Orkin, 2005, p. 1), but it is this negotiation of identity that makes the Taiwanese interpretation of Shakespeare much different from that of a Mainlanders’ approach, while they share certain commonalities that inextricably link them. This study thus examines the interrelation between Taiwan and Mainland China operatic cultural forms and how negotiation of their different identities constitutes a singular different Taiwanese Shakespeare from Chinese Shakespeare.

  • Rostislav Berezkin Baojuan Publishing By
    Rostislav Berezkin Baojuan publishing by Shanghai and Ningbo publishers (1911-1940) and its connection with the expansion and changes of the genre Abstract In the period between 1911 and 1940, a considerable number of baojuan (precious scrolls), the texts with primarily religious contents originally intended for oral presentation, was printed in Shanghai and nearby cities. Baojuan were often printed with the use of modern print technologies: lithographic and typeset press. The lithographic and typeset publishers specializing in baojuan printing appeared at that time. These publishers also were engaged in collecting and editing the baojuan texts as well as in retailing their print production. Looking at several cases of baojuan publishing, this paper explores the special features of this print production, especially in connection with the new trends in the work of publishers and the ways of consumption of baojuan editions. Due to the paucity of materials, the paper makes use mainly of the information in the original editions of baojuan which the author studied in collections of baojuan editions in several countries. 1 Introduction In the period between 1911 and 1940 several publishers in Shanghai and other cities of the Lower Yangtze region published numerous editions of baojuan (ਮ, precious scrolls). Baojuan are texts with primarily religious content originally intended for oral presentation. Baojuan is an old literary form that formed approximately in the 13 th -14 th centuries but still flourished at the beginning of the 20 th century. Scholars divide the history of baojuan into three periods. In the first one (ca. 13 th -15 th centuries), they propagated Buddhist doctrines.

  • An Energetic Example of Bidirectional Sino-Japanese Esoteric Buddhist Transmission
    religions Article From China to Japan and Back Again: An Energetic Example of Bidirectional Sino-Japanese Esoteric Buddhist Transmission Cody R. Bahir Independent Researcher, Palo Alto, CA 94303, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Sino-Japanese religious discourse, more often than not, is treated as a unidirectional phe- nomenon. Academic treatments of pre-modern East Asian religion usually portray Japan as the pas- sive recipient of Chinese Buddhist traditions, while explorations of Buddhist modernization efforts focus on how Chinese Buddhists utilized Japanese adoptions of Western understandings of religion. This paper explores a case where Japan was simultaneously the receptor and agent by exploring the Chinese revival of Tang-dynasty Zhenyan. This revival—which I refer to as Neo-Zhenyan—was actualized by Chinese Buddhist who received empowerment (Skt. abhis.eka) under Shingon priests in Japan in order to claim the authority to found “Zhenyan” centers in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and even the USA. Moreover, in addition to utilizing Japanese Buddhist sectarianism to root their lineage in the past, the first known architect of Neo-Zhenyan, Wuguang (1918–2000), used energeticism, the thermodynamic theory propagated by the German chemist Freidrich Wilhelm Ost- wald (1853–1932; 1919 Nobel Prize for Chemistry) that was popular among early Japanese Buddhist modernists, such as Inoue Enryo¯ (1858–1919), to portray his resurrected form of Zhenyan as the most suitable form of Buddhism for the future. Based upon the circular nature of esoteric trans- mission from China to Japan and back to the greater Sinosphere and the use of energeticism within Neo-Zhenyan doctrine, this paper reveals the sometimes cyclical nature of Sino-Japanese religious influence.

  • Special Issue Taiwan and Ireland In
    TAIWAN IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Taiwan in Comparative Perspective is the first scholarly journal based outside Taiwan to contextualize processes of modernization and globalization through interdisciplinary studies of significant issues that use Taiwan as a point of comparison. The primary aim of the Journal is to promote grounded, critical, and contextualized analysis in English of economic, political, societal, and environmental change from a cultural perspective, while locating modern Taiwan in its Asian and global contexts. The history and position of Taiwan make it a particularly interesting location from which to examine the dynamics and interactions of our globalizing world. In addition, the Journal seeks to use the study of Taiwan as a fulcrum for discussing theoretical and methodological questions pertinent not only to the study of Taiwan but to the study of cultures and societies more generally. Thereby the rationale of Taiwan in Comparative Perspective is to act as a forum and catalyst for the development of new theoretical and methodological perspectives generated via critical scrutiny of the particular experience of Taiwan in an increasingly unstable and fragmented world.

It argues that Chern’s and Hua’s motivations and choices in regard to their transnational movements between China and the US were more nuanced and multifaceted than what is presented in existing accounts, and that socio-political factors combined with professional-personal ones to shape their decisions. The paper further uses their experiences to demonstrate the importance of transnational scientific interactions for the development of science in China, the US, and elsewhere in the twentieth century.

  • True Buddhism Is Not Chinese”: Taiwanese Immigrants Defining Buddhist Identity in the United States
    CHAPTER SIX “TRUE BUDDHISM IS NOT CHINESE”: TAIWANESE IMMIGRANTS DEFINING BUDDHIST IDENTITY IN THE UNITED STATES Carolyn Chen Based on ethnographic fi eldwork and in-depth interviews, this chapter examines how Taiwanese immigrant Buddhists defi ne Buddhism in the United States. Contrary to theories that immigrant religion preserves ethnic traditions in the new world, Taiwanese American Buddhists actively disavow any cultural connection with Asian Buddhism. Rather, they defi ne their religion as modern, western, and American. Rhetori- cally, this is a reaction against Taiwanese American Christians, and an attempt to package the dharma (Buddhist teachings) in a way that is attractive to Americans. This chapter complicates possible understand- ings of religion’s “ethnic function” by demonstrating that individuals may use religion to create ethnic boundaries among multiple cleavages and identities. It further emphasizes that Buddhism cannot be reduced to ethnicity, particularly when its practitioners’ mission is to propagate the dharma. To immigrants, religion often serves the critical function of reproduc- ing and preserving ethnic traditions in a foreign land. For this reason, scholars have noted how immigrants may become more religious after migrating to the United States (Smith 1978; Warner 1998, 2000). The majority of Buddhist Taiwanese immigrants become practicing or “true” Buddhists after migrating to the United States.1 In contrast to other Asian immigrants such as Thai (Cadge 2005; Numrich 1996) or Vietnamese (Zhou et al. 2002), most Taiwanese immigrants arrive in the United States non-religiously affi liated and discover Buddhism here rather than in their homeland. 1 The “true Buddhism” identity described in this chapter should not be confused with the group that calls itself True Buddha School, led by the Taiwanese teacher, Grand Master Sheng-yen Lu.
