It was created with a vision that recognised the importance of the Asia–Pacific region to the future of Australia. For more than fifty years, the School has sought to fulfil that vision through its efforts to be Australia’s pre- eminent centre for research and advanced academic training on the region. The School’s research focus is on four defined areas of the Asia–Pacific region: Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Southwest Pacific. Through its continuing research and training, the School has created and fostered an unparalleled network of academic and research relationships throughout the Asia–Pacific region. The School has one of the largest concentrations of expertise on the Asia–Pacific region in the world. It is administratively organised into four Divisions: 1) Economics, 2) Pacific and Asian History, 3) Politics and International Relations, and 4) Society and Environment, plus a Director’s Section which includes the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre and the Northern Australia Research Unit in Darwin. It supports research in nine major disciplines: Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics, History, Human Geography, International Relations, Linguistics, Political Science and Strategic and Defence Studies. In recent years, it has added to this expertise a focus on the study of Gender Relations, Resource Management, and Governance. Each of these disciplines and areas of study carries out its own research, has its own academic training program and hosts both national and international visitors. To achieve its varied research agenda, the School includes a number of centres, projects, and bureaux, most of which are for administrative purposes attached to particular Divisions. These centres and projects include the Australia South Asia Research Centre, the Contemporary China Centre, the Centre for the Contemporary Pacific, the Centre for the Study of the Chinese Southern Diaspora, the Poverty Research Centre, the Centre for Conflict and Post- Conflict Studies, the Centre for Archaeological Research, the Gender Relations Centre, the Centre for Research on Language Change, the Indonesia Project, the Resource Management in Asia Pacific Project, the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Project, the Land Management Project, the Thai-Yunnan Project, the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau and the Internet Publications Bureau. In 2003, the decision was taken to establish the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis as a University Centre based within the Economics Division of the School. This configuration of academic disciplines, centres and projects is intended to promote a range of research that is both disciplinary and interdisciplinary. The School’s various academic areas, including its centres and projects, hold regular seminars for the presentation of on-going scholarly research. In addition, the School hosts numerous conferences and supports several distinguished lecture series as well as ‘Updates’ on countries in the region. Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 3 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies Research Publications The research achievements of the School are reflected in the number and diversity of the publications of its staff. In 2003, members of the School produced 49 books, 25 edited books, and 149 chapters in books, 218 journal articles, 59 working papers, 11 chapters in conference proceedings, 14 reports, 31 book reviews, 6 forewords, 23 electronic publications and 24 microfilms/CD titles. It is worth citing a few of the important books published during the year to give some idea of the diversity of research within the School. In Economics, Professor Raghbendra Jha published two books, Macroeconomics for Developing Countries and Indian Economic Reforms. In International Relations, Dr Paul Keal published a book of far-reaching importance, European Conquest and the Rights of Indigenous People. Dr Greg Fealy and Dr Ed Aspinall published the latest volume, Local Power and Politics, in what is now a well-established and long-running series of Indonesian Update publications. Dr Greg Fealy’s monograph on Nahdlatul Ulama, originally written as his PhD dissertation, was published in Indonesian translation as Ijtihad Politik Ulama: Sejarah Nahdlatul Ulama, 1952–1967. In Anthropology, Dr Andrew McWilliam published an ethnographic monograph on the majority population of West Timor, Paths of Origin: Gates of Life, A Study of Place and Precedence in Southwest Timor, based on well over a decade of basic research. In Linguistics, Professors Malcolm Ross and Andrew Pawley with Ms Meredith Osmond published the 2nd of a five volume series on the Lexicon of Proto-Oceanic, focusing on the Physical Environment of the early Austronesians. Emeritus Professor Jack Golson was honoured by a special publication, Perspectives on Prehistoric Agriculture in the New Guinea Highlands, which appeared as an issue of the journal, Archaeology in Oceania. Among the publications that are a direct reflection on the research efforts of RSPAS are the dissertations written by graduate students in the School that have appeared as books. For 2003, for example, Dr In-Won Hwang published Personalized Politics: The Malaysian State under Mahathir and Dr Jun Honna published Military Politics and Democratization in Indonesia. Members of the School were also involved in the making of important documentary films: Professor Geremie Barmé’s Morning Sun is a stunning study of the Chinese cultural revolution while Dr John Darling produced an extraordinarily moving and timely film, The Healing of Bali, on the aftermath of the Bali bombings, which was screened by SBS Television. The School publishes five international journals: 1) The Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies, 2) The Journal of Pacific History, 3) The China Journal, 4) East Asian History and 5) The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology. The Journal Citation Reports for 2003 ranked The China Journal as No. 3 in the world for impact among all area studies journals and No. 2 in terms of its immediacy factor — how quickly articles get cited in other journals. The Linguistics Department in the School publishes Pacific Linguistics, which is the largest publication series of its kind on the languages of the Asia–Pacific region; Archaeology and Natural History publishes the series, Terra Australis, and the International Relations Department published Keynotes, a series of papers on contemporary issues. Professor Pranab K Bardhan from the University of California, Berkeley presented the 2003 K R Narayanan Oration entitled ‘Political-Economy and Governance Issues in the Indian 4 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies Professor James J Fox with recent graduate Mei Hui-Yu Economic Reform Process’ and Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, also from the University of California, Berkeley delivered the 64th Morrison Lecture, entitled ‘Historian and Courtesan: Chen Yinque and the Biography of Liu Rushi’. Staff, Students and Visitors By the end of the year, the School had 100 full-time academic staff including staff on outside funding. This increase from 70 academic staff in 1998 has been part of a process of planned renewal within the School. The School made 18 new academic appointments in 2003. Ten of these appointments were offered to women. Of the new offers, 12 were taken up in 2003. In addition, six academics who had been offered appointments in 2002 took up their positions. At this stage, there are no plans for a further expansion of staff numbers. The School hosted 167 Visiting Fellows and Department Visitors. Visitors are an essential component of the School and provide a considerable enhancement to the School’s research. However, with an increase in the number of full-time staff and a substantial increase in the number of PhD students, the School has had to put forward a revised policy limiting the office space allocated to visitors within the Coombs Building. An administrative review in 2002 led to a formal separation of RSPAS from RSSS. A period of adjustment was needed in 2003 to develop effective new working relations. The development Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 5 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies of these new working arrangements was one of the achievements of 2003. By the end of the year, the School’s general staff included 71 full-time positions and 37 part-time positions. The School has continued to increase the number of its enrolments at both the PhD and MA level. In December 2003, 138 students were enrolled for the PhD (compared with 110 PhD students in December 2002).

  • Seeing Art in Objects from the Pacific Around 1900: How Field Collecting and German Armchair Anthropology Met Between 1873 and 19101
    Seeing art in objects from the Pacific around 1900: how field collecting and German armchair anthropology met between 1873 and 19101 Christian Kaufmann When reviewing the historical records of how aesthetically remarkable objects of non-European origin came to be considered as art, one is immediately confronted with at least two common myths. Both paint the picture of the ugly anthropologist and, more specifically, of an ethnologist so deprived of aesthetic sensibilities and unable to recognize the artistic quality in these objects from foreign cultures. The argument dates back to the initial period of Primitivism in the first two decades of the 20th century; it was at least partly subscribed to by William Rubin and was at the heart of Jacques Kerchache’s famous 1990 manifesto ‘Pour que les chef-d’oeuvres du monde entier naissent libres et égaux’, which demanded the opening of the Musée du Louvre to the ‘Arts premiers’.2 Accordingly, so the first myth, European artists were the first to immediately see and recognize the artistic value of such works when encountered either in an ethnographic museum, on the wall of a bar, or in a curio-shop. The second myth blames anthropologists of subscribing to vulgar Social-Darwinist views that understood primitive as meaning under-developed, or lower and savage, pending replacement based on the logic of natural selection, that is, evolution, by the ‘true thing’ at least one notch above. In the following I will show that quite the contrary was the case and that early anthropologists, often having been trained as medical doctors or as natural scientists, and visiting local groups in situ, contributed decisively to the recognition and appreciation of the latter’s artistic activities and achievements.

Contents 1. Introduction 2. Major theoretical approaches 3. Peasants and Development 4. Production 5. Distribution 6. Consumption 7. Globalization and flexibility 8. Conclusions and perspectives Acknowledgments Glossary Bibliography Bibliographical Sketch Summary This chapter explores the main contributions and debates of Economic Anthropology, a field that has been developing considerably since the beginning of the 20th Century and that still enjoys a great vitality. It aims to provide a state of the art, always necessarily limited but general enough to help the reader to locate and understand the objectives of economic anthropology and its main areas of research. The introduction presents a synthetic definition of this sub-field, it outlines its main chronological phases, and it highlights the most relevant influences involved in its emergence. Forceful criticism of the precepts of neoclassical economics and a concern for the relationship between society, environment and economy, have been two central pillars of its initial development.UNESCO-EOLSS Then the chapter describes and explains the three main theoretical roots of classical economic anthropology: substantivism, formalism, and the contributions of Marxist anthropologySAMPLE and its most representative CHAPTERS schools. In line with the Marxist discussion two influential themes of analysis within this subfield are presented: peasant studies (especially in Latin America and Asia) and development, along with the discussion of moral economy and its main assumptions.

    Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Report 1999 - 2001 Halle/S. Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Report 1999 – 2001 Halle/Saale Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Preface The decision to establish the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropol- ogy, located in the east German city of Halle, was taken by the Senate of the Max Planck Society in June 1998. Prof. Dr. Günther Schlee, formerly Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Bielefeld, and Prof. Christopher Hann, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Kent, were appointed founding Directors. The Institute began its work in May 1999. Housed initially in offices in the city centre, the Institute moved to its permanent buildings in December 2001, which marks the end of the period covered in this first Report. It was hoped that the research agenda would generate synergies be- tween the various units. Department I, “Integration and Conflict”, headed by Günther Schlee, tries to gain new insights into processes of conflict and integration by examining the question of who sides or coop- erates with whom and why. In this perspective conflict and integration translate into questions of identity and difference. The focus is on strate- gies of inclusion and exclusion, both from the perspective of their discur- sive “logic” and from that of their societal consequences. Department II, “Property Relations”, headed by Chris Hann, adopts a broad approach to property in society. It is particularly concerned with changes in the social entitlements of citizens and groups in the “postsocialist” countries of Eurasia, and the main ethnographic focus is on decollectivisation.

After he became director of the Institut für Sozialforschung in 1930, he continued to explore the relationships between biology, materialism, philosophy, and social theory. This interest was reflected both in his editorial policy for the Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung and in his own scholarly development that led to the development of critical theory in the later 1930s and the anti-Semitism research of the 1940s.

  • The Places of Colonialism in the Writing and Teaching of Modern German History
    Wildenthal, Lora. The Places of Colonialism in the Writing and Teaching of Modern German History. The European Studies Journal 16 (1999): 9-23. The Places of Colonialism in the Writing and Teaching of Modern German History Lora Wildenthal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology This article explores two oddities that face someone who is considering teaching or writing about German colonialism. The first one is this: even though overseas empire was a part of German identity and popular imagination in the Kaiserreich and at least a hundred years before that,1 since the Kaiserreich the absence of colonialism from the German past became a quiet, but stubborn, part of German identity. (The German Democratic Republic was, at least at the official level, an exception.) German identity after 1919, that is, German postcolonial identity, has been insular, even self-consciously provincial. This is especially surprising given that Germans have traveled and lived all over the world, and that people from all over the world have traveled to and lived in Germany. There are provincial parts of the world, but twentieth- century Germany is not one of them. Some of the most eloquent descriptions of what I am calling an insular or provincial postcolonial identity have been formulated by Afro-Germans. In a recent documentary film on the poet May Ayim, who was born in Germany, she says: "The first question is always, Where did you come from? and the second question is, When are you leaving?"2 The second oddity is the treatment of German colonialism in the historiography of Germany. General works on modem Germany reflect a certain provincialism and a quiet, but stubborn, white identity for Germans.
