The year 2002 saw a change in personnel. In September 2002, Mario Rutten, newly appointed as Professor in the Comparative Sociology of Asia, resigned from his post as part-time coordinator of the IIAS Branch Office, Amsterdam which he had held for five years. His position was taken over by Oskar Verkaaik, who is also a lecturer and researcher at the Research Group for Religion and Society within the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, UvA. During the changeover branch activities were taken care of by Heleen van der Minne, the Branch Office secretary. Continuity was also maintained through close contact and cooperation with the main office in Leiden. Eighteen fellows from eight different countries visited the IIAS Branch office for various periods of time. These visitors were the result of collaboration between the IIAS and other academic institutions such as the ISIM, the Indo-Dutch Programme on Alternatives in Development (IDPAD), and the KNAW. The Branch Office supported a large number of activities organized by these fellows. It also supported and helped organize activities by staff members of the UvA. For a list of fellows, please see Section 2 (IIAS Research: Programmes, Networks, and Fellowships. For a list of activities, please see Section 3 (Seminars and Institutional Events). (Amsterdam: Impressions by Ranjini and Gananath Obeyesekere on the last page of this report). In order to stimulate intellectual debate among the fellows of both the Leiden and the Amsterdam office, as well as between IIAS fellows of both branches and the Dutch academic community, a new series of IIAS fellows’ seminars meant to introduce the work of IIAS fellows to a larger audience was commenced in close cooperation with the Leiden main office. As has been done in previous years, the secretariat played an important role in the organization of the annual Inter-University MA courses on South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. Both the brochure for, and the promotion of these courses fell under the responsibility of the Branch Office secretariat. These activities were conducted in close cooperation with the Platform for ASiA. The Amsterdam office also enlarged the video collection of the Asian Cinema Center. A new board for this centre was installed at the end of 2002. These activities helped facilitate a ten day Hindustani cinema festival in The Hague and Amsterdam, as well as a public screening of a new, award-winning documentary by the Indian filmmaker Anand Patwardhan. Publications
In collaboration with several international publishers, the IIAS publishes an average of four to five monographs and edited volumes per year on research linked to the IIAS.

The nomadic of law in their economic development was neglected.

Nevertheless, countries concerned. scholars throughout the world have been using and discussing these theories, and they are often doing so within the confines of a specific country or area. This book brings together thirteen essays by specialists in Chinese and Japanese literature who comment on their understanding of literature and their use of theory. Ranging from philology to deconstruction, from textual criticism to cultural sociology, and from classical to modern writing, both the literary works and the approaches to literature treated in this volume represent centuries of creative thought and expression by intellectuals both from East Asia and the western world. The authors confront the literatures and the theories through general discussions and specific case studies, focusing on the question of how culturally specific or universal literary theories really are.
Foreword [p 3]
Consistent with its new five-year plan, the IIAS directed its energies to Foreword two different aspects of its strategy this year. First, it aims to enhance ties between national stakeholders such as universities, institutes, departments, and individuals engaged in Asian Studies. Second, it aims to develop programmes that are no longer strictly linked to humanities and social sciences but that operate between these sciences and other disciplines such as medical studies, environmental studies, the life sciences, law, and physics. In the first category of activities mentioned here, the IIAS endeavours to formulate a proposal for a national research programme ‘Religion, Mobility and Radicalism’ in close cooperation with the research schools: the Research School of Asian, African, and Amerindian Studies (CNWS), the Research School for Resource Studies for Human Development (CERES), the Amsterdam School for Social Science Research (ASSR), the International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World (ISIM) and the Africa Study Centre (ASC). This proposal was submitted to the Netherlands Foundation for the Advancement of Tropical Research (WOTRO) for co-sponsorship. Another initiative was the introduction of the inter-university MA courses in Asian Studies, started by the IIAS in 2001 and further developed in 2002. The main objective of these courses is to attract, at an early stage, the attention of first year students to specialize in Asian Studies. In the second category the IIAS approached the Asia Institute for Technology in Bangkok and started talks on a series of conferences about space technology developments in Southeast Asia and the impact on culture, commerce and communities. Space technology has had a dramatic effect on almost all nations, especially in Asia, where India, China, and Japan have achieved considerable success in building up indigenous technologies and applications. In the conference series ‘Asian Space’ the IIAS, together with partners in Southeast Asia, plan to focus on the positive and negative effects of space technology in the daily life of the Southeast Asian people, concentrating on fields such as health and telemedicine, distance education, crime prevention (piracy on the high seas), disaster monitoring and mitigation, (for example floods and forest fires), and food and agricultural planning and production (such as rice crop monitoring). Throughout 2002 the Institute continued to support the Asian Genomics research project coordinated by Dr Margaret Sleeboom. The first conference of which took place in March – the results will be published in 2003. New genetic technologies, their application and their possible adverse effects on the health and position of social groups is the theme of two panels to be organized by Dr Sleeboom for the Third International Convention for Asian Scholars in Singapore (2003). The IIAS is particularly proud of the joint Brill/IIAS nine volume publication in the series on Brill’s Tibetan Studies Library ‘Proceedings of the ninth seminar of the IATS, 2000’, edited by former IIAS fellow Dr Henk Blezer. In 2002 the Institute also organized seminars, workshops, and conferences and hosted a broad range of scholars from all over the globe. Eighty-two researchers worked for various periods (minimum two weeks) at the offices in Amsterdam or Leiden. Many of these researchers presented lectures or seminars which have contributed to the unique wealth of information on Asia and things Asian available to be tapped by our Dutch researchers and students!

The international cooperation in this field. The Institute focuses on the Institute, therefore, actively promotes, facilitates, and initiates academic humanities and social sciences and, where relevant, on their interaction cooperation at various levels – nationally as well as internationally – with other sciences. between different research groups and institutes. The IIAS acts as an international mediator, bringing various parties One of these networks is the European Alliance for Asian Studies (Asia together. In keeping with the Dutch tradition of transferring goods and Alliance): a cooperative framework of institutes specializing in Asian ideas, the IIAS works as a clearinghouse of knowledge and information.

Many of these fellowships are postdoctoral positions. Information and At a broader level, the IIAS strives to link up with other groups in vacancies for the fellowships are announced on the IIAS website and in society, such as business people, policy makers, and the media by the IIAS Newsletter. They range from short-term visiting fellowships making expertise on Asia available to non-academic organizations (minimum one month) to long-term research fellowships (maximum through updates and consultancy services. three to four years). The IIAS, furthermore, provides research facilities for postdoctoral scholars who wish to undertake research in the Netherlands, and who have obtained their own funding. The Institute organizes international seminars, workshops, conferences, and master classes, often convened by IIAS research fellows. They are held both independently and jointly with other (inter)national institutes. The institutional lectures organized by the IIAS also provide a forum for discussions on new developments within the field of Asian Studies or Asia-Europe relations in their current social context. In collaboration with several international publishers, the IIAS publishes an average of four to five monographs and edited volumes per year on research that is linked to its activities. For more information and a full overview of all IIAS publications, please see our website, or contact the IIAS directly. The IIAS has established extraordinary chairs at several Dutch universities (Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), Nijmegen University (KUN), and Leiden University (LEI)), thus filling a void in Dutch university curricula in Asian Studies. Apart from these, working with its Asian partners, the IIAS has initiated European chairs in Chinese Studies, Malay Studies, and Indian Studies, bringing Asian professors to the Netherlands and other European countries to teach and undertake research.

Furthermore, a foundation has been built on which further comparison between different cultural backgrounds and local knowledge systems will be possible. Therefore, it seems that both aims have been achieved. The themes of the workshop hooked onto questions related to the commercial and medical application of new bioengineering technologies, such as the impact of preventative genetic medicine, genetic counselling, genetically modified organisms (GMO’s), stem cell research, wealth distribution, cultural traditions, social wellbeing, and political and legal regulations and institutions. This workshop provided an opportunity to promote research into the social, political and ethical aspects of genomics, and exchange experiences of various approaches with researchers from Japan, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Pakistan, India and Malaysia. The subjects discussed throw light on various aspects of genomics in Asia, varying from discussions of genetics in China to religious perspectives on cloning and genetic therapy. www.iias.nl/iias/research/genomics IIAS Reasearch: Programmes, Networks and Fellowships [ section 2 |p 15]

On the theoretical side, it will systematically compare these descriptions and analyses in order to contribute to further development of the theory of language and human language capacity; the development of such theories have hitherto been disproportionately based on the study of Western languages.
Concretely, the programme focuses on the following syntactic phenomena: 1) Nominal domain: classifiers, modifiers and possessors. 2) Verbal domain: aspectual particles (and sentence-final particles), resultatives and modality.
The programme involves the following languages: 1) Sinitic: Yue (with special attention to the variety spoken in Hong Kong), Wu (especially concentrating on the variety spoken in Wenzhou), and Mandarin. 2) Non-Sinitic: Zhuang (Zhuang-Tai), Miao (Hmong-Mien), and Wa (Mon-Khmer)

The year 2002 was the first in the second five-year period (2002-2006) of the international ABIA Project. Its offices in Asia and the Netherlands cooperate to build the ABIA Index online bibliographical database on South and Southeast Asian art and archaeology. In November 2001 the rotating chairmanship of the project had – for the second period – been officially transferred from the IIAS to the director of the PGIAR of the University of Kelaniya, Colombo. The organizational structure of the joint enterprise was laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding which also serves as the guiding tool for institutes wishing to join the network. The year 2002 indeed witnessed a gradual expansion and consolidation through the establishment of a fully-fledged ABIA office for India, at the IGNCA in New Delhi under the guidance of Dr. Sudha Gopalakrishnan. This was a continuation of the work previously undertaken by Prof. S. Settar from Dharwad and his team of annotators. By offering access to the database via its website, the IGNCA contributes to an increasingly visible presence of the ABIA Index in the subcontinent. The chairman hopes to expand the presence of the ABIA to offices in Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan. Until then these countries, each represented by a local scholar already involved in the network, will be served by the ABIA website at the coordinating office in Colombo. The PGIAR also endeavours to establish a fully-fledged office in Indonesia under the guidance of Prof. Edi Sedyawati. This is particularly important in view of the strong presence of Indonesian archaeology and arts in the ABIA database from earlier in the project. The ABIA is eager to extend its network to more countries in Southeast Asia in view of the many ongoing archaeological programmes, [ p 18 | section 2 ] IIAS annualreport 2002

The ABIA office at the IIAS collects and processes data on Western Executing body: publications for the database and publishes these on the internet via an IISH, Amsterdam ABIA website hosted by the IIAS (www.abia.net). In 2002 the bibliographic work at Leiden continued, thanks to the financial support Financial support: of the J. Gonda Foundation of the Royal Dutch Academy for Sciences IIAS (KNAW) in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, starting from 2002 the work has to be carried out on a more modest scale than before. Previously Executive Committee: two part-time editors could divide the work on a regional basis (South Prof. Jan Breman (Center for Asian Studies in Amsterdam (CASA), UvA) Asia–Southeast Asia). In 2002 only one part-time editor, Dr. Ellen Prof. Marcel van der Linden (IISH) Raven, could continue her work.

Furthermore, the technical possibilities of the Internet have been put to use to establish closer cooperation and exchange between the IIAS Newsletter and the website. For example, conferences and events in the field of Asian Studies eligible for the International Conference Agenda in the IIAS Newsletter can be submitted online and longer versions of articles and additional information can be published on the website.
(Inter)national WWW Cooperation In collaboration with the NIAS, Copenhagen, the IIAS maintains a database of international conferences, workshops, and seminars in the field of Asian Studies, which is presented on the IIAS website as ‘Agenda Asia’. Visitors can search the Agenda and subscribe to ‘Agenda Mail’ in order to receive excerpts from ‘Agenda Asia’ regularly by e-mail. Since its initiation in 1995, the IIAS website offers web server space to those specific projects, programmes, and organizations in the field of Asian Studies that do not have their own means of electronically publishing their information. For instance, the KITLV; the online database on current Asian Studies journals in Dutch libraries (IPAC); the International Research Programme ‘Brokers of Capital and Knowledge’ (UvA); the Indonesian-Netherlands Cooperation in Islamic Studies (INIS); the Centre for Cooperative Research in Social Sciences, based in Pune, India; Irian Jaya Studies – a Programme for Interdisciplinary Research (ISIR); the Himalayan Languages Project; International Journal for the Study of Board Games; and the research programme ‘Verbal Art in the Audio-Visual Media of Indonesia’ (VA|AVMI) are all hosted by the IIAS.

Academic Cooperation
The IIAS considers academic cooperation indispensable to top-level research. It believes that, in the present environment of globalization, the distinctive national traditions of research and scholarship need to section 7 be brought together to form complementary partnerships. The IIAS, therefore, actively promotes, facilitates, and initiates academic cooperation at various levels – nationally as well as internationally – between different research groups and institutions.

Cooperation on an International Level: Activities The Alliance is not intended to merge the respective institutes, but to European Alliance for Asian Studies (Asia Alliance) step up the momentum and interaction that has been growing between them and to provide a framework within which greater cooperation can occur. The Alliance implies the establishment of a coordinated framework for joint planning and for the pooling of resources in conducting various jointly organized projects.

Asia Update International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) Although the primary focus of the Asia Alliance is on research at the cutting edge of knowledge, it recognizes that disseminating the results of research to a broader audience, including governments, the media, and the general public is an integral part of the responsibilities of scientific institutions. To support this role, the Alliance organizes at least one annual one-day information programme called the ‘Asia Update’, in which several well-informed scholars present analyses of recent and current events in Asia.

The IIAS is involved in the ASEMUS by hosting the ASEMUS website (www.asemus.org), by providing information on the network in the Institute newsletter and by co- organizing activities, such as the jointly organized inaugural seminar entitled ‘Asia Europe Marketplace of Museums, Sharing Cultural Heritage’, which took place at the NME from 10-13 April 2002.
ASEM Research Platform The ASEM Research Platform (ARP) was formed in September 2002. As an interregionally oriented online network, ARP focuses on providing information on the ASEM. The network’s website (www.iias.nl/asem) offers comprehensive coverage of the Fourth ASEM Summit in Copenhagen (23-24 September 2002) while also giving access to ASEM official documents, publications, NGOs, position papers and reports, and links to ASEM related sites. Some of the most prominent researchers of the ASEM and Asia-Europe relations have joined the network as its contributors. Once the first step in building a portal – gathering essential information about the ASEM dispersed over a wide and unstructured number of sources – was accomplished, the ARP could focus on providing up-to-date information on ASEM events. Continually developing, the ARP website had tripled its number of pages by December 2002 and plans the addition of new sub-sites in 2003, [ p 58 | section 7 ] IIAS annualreport 2002
particularly on the three pillars of ASEM – politics, economics, and Cooperation on a broad national level culture and society. Following positive responses from the research community and other At a broader level, the IIAS strives to link up with other groups in networks, ARP hopes to develop its network further to include a wide society, such as business people, policy makers, and the media by number of supporting institutions at regional and bi-regional levels. making expertise on Asia available to non-academic organizations www.iias.nl/asem through updates, consultancy services, and the like.
Research schools The ‘Research Schools’ in the Netherlands that are most closely related to the IIAS are: the CNWS, Leiden; CERES, Utrecht; and ASSR, Amsterdam. Although these schools focus on PhD students (in contrast to the IIAS, which concentrates mainly on postdoctoral researchers), the IIAS cooperates with these schools as many of their students work in the field of Asian Studies. The IIAS endeavours to stimulate multilateral cooperation between the research schools and to set up national and international research programmes with partner institutions focussing on Asian Studies. On behalf of the IIAS Dr Roel Meijer formulated a research proposal, ‘Religion, Migration and Radicalization’, in close cooperation with the CNWS, CERES, ASSR, ISIM, and ASC. These research schools and institutes have agreed to cooperate in the programme, providing that the proposal is accepted by the NWO for partial funding.
Inter University MA courses on Asian Studies In 2001 the IIAS introduced three undergraduate courses on contemporary developments in Asia (interuniversitaire Azië cursussen). These courses were well received by students and lecturers, and it was therefore decided to follow the same format in 2002. The major objective of these courses is to stimulate the interest of Dutch students in ‘Asian Affairs’. The organization was done in cooperation with the UvA, EUR, LEI, and the KITLV, in Leiden. In the course entitled ‘Interaction between Politics, Economy and Society in modern East-Asia’, the following themes were discussed. 1.Participating in politics and the limitations of democracy, 2. Asian (in)dependence, 3. Winners and losers of globalization and 4. Sociological change interpreted through three movies. In the course on South Asia, held in Amsterdam, 12 scholars presented lectures on general themes, culture and politics, and economy and population issues. In the third course on Southeast Asia, attention was paid to three themes. 1. Historical and cultural perspective, 2. Political economy, and 3. Tensions and problems in modern society.
Memoranda of Understanding with Partner Institutes Further to the Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) signed by the IIAS in previous years, in 2002 the IIAS signed MoUs with: • Postgraduate Institute of Archaeology (PGIAR), Sri Lanka (ABIA project), 4 April • Asia Pacific Research Program, Academia Sinica (APARP), Taiwan, 15 May 2002 • Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICCSR), New Delhi, India, 29 May
IIAS Subsidies The IIAS supports many activities organized by other institutes and universities at national and international levels, both by offering facilities and financial contributions. In order to stimulate, promote, and advance important scholarly initiatives in the field of Asian Studies, a budget of EUR 14.000 in total was made available for the year 2002 via the Director’s Fund. This fund, out of which the Director can personally allocate amounts of up to EUR 2.500, proved to be very supportive of small-scale activities that may otherwise have been cancelled.
