  • Chawla 1 the Female Renunciant in Exile
    Chawla 1 The Female Renunciant in Exile: (Re-)Invention, Translation, Empowerment1 Abstract Through a focus on the Tibetan Nuns Project (TNP) founded in 1987, my paper argues that exile in India necessitated a translation of “Tibetan culture” for patrons and potential sponsors of the putative “Tibetan cause” in Europe and North America, which in turn led to pedagogical and curricular innovations in Tibetan nunneries. This has led to a re-imagination of the role of the female monastic within Tibetan nationalist culture: from a relatively marginal position (vis-à-vis monks), nuns now occupy a prominent place as ambassadors for the Tibetan cause. Mass migration led to innovations, inventions, and improvisations within Tibetan society in exile regarding the role of women in general, and religious women in particular. Through an analysis of the TNP, this paper asks how migration has occasioned a rethinking among Tibetans about gender relations within their society, and the ways in which a three-generation long stay in India has contributed to this rethinking. A second related enquiry is about the translation of western feminism in Tibetan Buddhist contexts, both through the initiatives of TNP office bearers such as Elizabeth Napper and Phillipa Russell, as well as through TNP’s participation in the worldwide rethinking of women’s roles in the Buddhist sangha. Finally, I explore what empowerment means in movements for gender-equality within TNP nunneries, and ask if these are based on a misreading of these non-Western monastic traditions in Judeo-Christian terms. I make a case for approaching Tibetan exile in India beyond the prism of forced dislocation and loss, and argue that exile became an opportunity for Tibetan Buddhist nuns to reconfigure their position in Tibetan society.

  • Intersecting Nations, Diverging Discourses: the Fraught Encounter of Chinese and Tibetan Literatures in the Modern Era Christoph
    Intersecting Nations, Diverging Discourses: The Fraught Encounter of Chinese and Tibetan Literatures in the Modern Era Christopher Peacock Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Christopher Peacock All Rights Reserved Abstract Intersecting Nations, Diverging Discourses: The Fraught Encounter of Chinese and Tibetan Literatures in the Modern Era Christopher Peacock This is a two-pronged study of how the Chinese and Tibetan literary traditions have become intertwined in the modern era. Setting out from the contention that the study of minority literatures in China must be fundamentally multilingual in its approach, this dissertation investigates how Tibetans were written into Chinese literature, and how Tibetans themselves adopted and adapted Chinese literary discourses to their own ends. It begins with Lu Xun and the formative literary conceptions of nation in the late Qing and Republican periods – a time when the Tibetan subject was fundamentally absent from modern Chinese literature – and then moves to the 1980s, when Tibet and Tibetans belatedly, and contentiously, became valid subject matter for Han Chinese writers. The second aspect of the project situates modern Tibetan-language literature, which arose from the 1980s onwards, within the literary and intellectual context of modern China. I read Döndrup Gyel, modern Tibetan literature’s “father figure,” as working within unmistakably Lu Xun-ian paradigms, I consider the contradictions that arose when Tsering Döndrup’s short story “Ralo” was interpreted as a Tibetan equivalent of “The True Story of Ah Q,” and I analyze the rise of a “Tibetan May Fourth Movement” in the 2000s, which I argue presented a selective reading of modern China’s intellectual history.

  • Blue Lake: Tibetan Popular Music, Place and Fantasies of the Nation
    From Tibetan Modernities (ed. Robert Barnett and Ronald Schwartz). Leiden: Brill, 2008, pp. 305-332. Blue Lake: Tibetan Popular Music, Place and Fantasies of the Nation Anna Stirr A woman in a Tibetan chuba stands at the rail of a motorboat, moving slowly across a wide lake. Shading her eyes with her hand, she gazes into the sunset. Her voice can be heard in the background, singing: Ai Ma! Blue Lake, Today's happiness, Hope of the future, You are the possessor of all life forms, Honour of the motherland. This scene is from the music video of the Tibetan singer, Dechen Wangmo (Bde chen dbang mo), featuring the popular song Blue Lake (Tsho ngon po). It was written in Tibet in 1984 by the poet Dondrub Gyal (Don gdrub rgyal ) and composer Chopathar Wayemache (Chod pa thar ba ye ma khye), and has come to be seen as an “unofficial anthem” of Tibet, according to one Tibetan scholar (Tsering Shakya, forthcoming). Many hear a strong Tibetan nationalist message in the song and it was banned from 1989 to 1992, the height of the Tibetan pro-independence movement. Although a report on music and politics in contemporary Tibet names Blue Lake “the most famous Tibetan nationalist song” (TIN 2004:149, see also Shakya 2002), the nationalism within this song is ambiguous at best.1 For example, the song begins by identifying the lake with “the people”, but never specifies who “the people” are; the word “motherland” could just as well refer to China as to Tibet. Among Tibetans who claim Blue Lake as an anthem of national unity, 1 TIN lists Blue Lake under the heading of “songs with ‘clear,’ probable and possible political meanings”.

  • རང་བཙན་ལ་ཕེབས་དོ། Toward Rangzen, Through Rang and Zen: Contextualized Agency of Contemporary Tibetan Poet-Activists in Exile
    རང་བཙན་ལ་ཕེབས་དོ། Toward Rangzen, through Rang and Zen: Contextualized Agency of Contemporary Tibetan Poet-Activists in Exile Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly June Schultz, B.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Hugh Urban, Co-Advisor Amy Shuman, Co-Advisor Thomas P. Kasulis Dorothy Noyes Copyright by Kelly June Schultz 2014 Abstract During six decades of exile and three generations of refugees, Tibetan exile political strategies and self-understandings have undergone continual change. In the last decade, amid more violent and obvious forms of protest, a “New Generation” of activists has begun publishing poetry in the blogosphere to represent their personal and political situations. Grounded in a close reading of one second-generation Tibetan refugee’s online publications, this essay proposes contextual and analytical frameworks for understanding the "subtle agency" of this poetic mode of activism. I highlight the spaces in which the traditional, doctrinal, and ideological are transformed or given new utility in contemporary Tibetan exile life and activism. I explore the manifold ways in which the individual not only maneuvers relative to normative ideology and prominent meta- discourses, but engages and occupies them from within. ii For Daniel ངས་འདི་བོད་མི་ལ་ 坴ལ་གིས་ཡོད། བོད་རྒྱལ་ལོ། iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my Tibetan teachers, colleagues, friends, and informants for their continuous attempts to educate me (and correct my Tibetan), and for the support, interest, and encouragement; the Columbus KTC sangha, Lama Kathy, and Kenpo Karthar Rinpoche, for the teachings and refuge; Drs.
