Urgent call for paper

Dear All,

I'm Guangyi Li, PhD candidate of Chinese literature and culture at the
Department of Asian Languages and Cultures of UCLA. I and some scholars
have organized a panel for this year's AAS conference. This panel is
already accepted. Unfortunately, two panelists quit for personal reasons,
and we have to recruit new members to keep our panel on the list. Would you
please take a look at the panel abstract below, consider if you would like
to join, and kindly spread this call for paper to anyone you think may take
part in our panel? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Guangyi

*From Empire to Republic: The Making of Modern Chinese Political
Recognition and National Identity*


This panel focuses on the changing discourses on political identity in the
Qing Empire. Bearing an interdisciplinary initiative, we investigate the
formation and the fall of Qing as a multi-ethnic Empire, trying to provide
new perspectives in understanding the historical and intellectual
foundation of modern Chinese discourses on ethnicity and citizenship.
Panelists find it problematic to simplify Qing's rule either as a process
of Sinification or Manchurian colonization. Instead, we propose to
understand Qing's approach of governance as a reflexive process. Qing's
discourses of state-building, governance and its imagination of world-order
were adaptive through its interaction with both different ethnic groups
within China and foreign empires and nations, particularly the Western
colonial powers. By presenting such an interactive process, we also intend
to shed a light on the historical origin of the ethnic issues as well as
the imagination of a national identity in contemporary China. Ang Yang's
work looks at the Qing Emperor's 1912 Abdication Edict and calls attention
to "Mukden Consensus," which he argues is the foundation of the
multi-ethnic empire known as Qing. Qi An's anthropological work
investigates in the similar issue by looking at the triangular relations
between Miao, Manchu and Han migrants in the early Qing. Sam Zhiguang Yin's
paper takes the discussion to another angle and looks at the Qing's attempt
to cooperate with the Western colonialists by translating modern
international law. Guangyi Li's work follows this path and explores how
late Qing Chinese utopians address ethnicity, race, and nation in their
imaginations of an ideal world.



*Yellow Peril or Yellow Revival: Ethnicity, Race and Nation in Late Qing
Chinese Utopianism (1902-1911)*

Guangyi Li

Ph.D. Candidate of Chinese Literature and Culture, Department of Asian
Languages and Cultures, UCLA



This paper explores how late Qing Chinese utopians address ethnicity, race,
and nation in their imaginations of an ideal world. Political utopianism,
through Liang Qichao and other intellectuals' effort, flourished in late
Qing Chinese thought and gave an impetus to the Xinhai Revolution.
Preoccupied with China's predicament in the west-centered world, late Qing
Chinese utopians were often committed to designs of an ideal world order
characterized by China's revival. Such utopian thinking, as this paper
reveals, was heavily conditioned by their diverse ideas about ethnicity
(Han, Manchu, Mongolian, etc.), race (yellow, white, black, brown, and so
forth), and nation (ethno-nation and nation-state). This paper begins with
a brief review of the ethnic and racial issues that plagued the Qing Empire
since its foundation, particularly after the Opium Wars. In the major part,
key texts, such as *Book of Great Unity *(1902) and *New Era* (1908), are
placed under critical scrutiny. Special attention is paid to the resistance
to and/or reconstruction of western racism and nationalism, as well as
Japan's intermediary role.



*Legislating the Self: The Concept of Modern Individual and its Spread via
the Translaiton of Modern International Law in the 19th Century China*

Dr. Zhiguang Yin

Assistant Professor, Zayed University, Dubai, UAE



This paper will elaborate that the idea of the modern individual, which
suggests an indivisible subject of legal and economic rights and social
responsibilities, first appears in the Chinese context in the translation
of modern international law in 1864. It exists as an analytical category in
various legal and political writings and translations. Through the
political and intellectual interaction between China and the West,
especially Europe, the idea of the individual generally acquires a richer
semantic connotation and forms an equivalent with the Chinese word "*geren*"
roughly in 1901. My theoretical intention is also to demonstrate that it is
not possible to truly understand the dynamic of the construction of the
modern individual without contextualizing it in the intellectual
introduction and translation of modern West political concepts for the
purpose of nation-building and modern social construction. Although modern
Western political concepts especially ideas such as state sovereignty,
international law and other related notions had already been introduced in
China through either Western missionaries or merchants and diplomats in the
mid-19th century, the systematic efforts of learning and conceptualizing
these ideas among intellectuals began roughly around 1898. In order to
understand the reception of individualism in China one must discuss the
attempt to construct modern individual by revolutionary intellectuals and
reformists.

Asian Migration and the Global Asian Diasporas
Conference date: 6-7 September 2013
City University of Hong Kong

CALL FOR PAPERS
Asia, as both a migrant generating and migrant receiving region, offers
rich experiences for migration and diaspora studies. Since the late 19th
century there has been continuous movement of people across countries
within the region as well as from Asia to other parts of the world due to
colonial rule, warfare, political turmoil, the Cold War, and poverty in
various places in Asia. Asian migration is not only large in scale, but
also extremely diverse in experience. Large migrant groups to the West,
such as the Chinese, Indians and Vietnamese have received much attention as
settlers in other countries. Yet much recent research suggests they must
also be understood as diasporic communities in continuous transnational
movement. There are also many other smaller migrant populations, often
minorities in their own countries, whose migration trajectories represent
the interaction of very specific historical conditions as well as general
global changes.

Against the background of earlier migration waves, this conference will
focus on newer migrants, especially those who migrated in the second half
of the last century. We would like to provide an overview of recent trends
and waves of Asian migration, and the forms of diaspora these migrants have
formed in Asia and around the world. Furthermore, while many Asians
continue to move to the 'rich' West, attention is also needed to the trends
of intra-regional migration within Asia, whether for education, work (both
low-wage labor and highly skilled professionals), marriage, family
reunion, or tourism (both short- and long-stay).

Besides migrating out, many Asian migrants are returning back to Asia,
often to their home countries. New trends of return migration, retirement
migration, and root-seeking migration have been taking place in Asia by
those who moved away when they were young, or by their children and
grandchildren. This is changing the very meaning of migration and the
dynamics and pace through which diasporic communities develop, flow, and
ebb.

The conference will examine the following issues:
 The variegated channels through which new migration has occurred;
 The relationship between old and new migrant groups of the same
origin;
 Identity, settlement patterns, gender relations, livelihood
strategies and family in new migration waves;
 How migrants as diasporic populations continue to express their
cultural distinctiveness and linkage to homelands;
 What impacts migrants as diasporic populations have had on the
economic and political development of their origin countries;
 How governments in both origin and destination countries have been
shifting their attitudes and policies towards migrant groups.

By looking into these different aspects, the conference will address issues
not only related to migration and diaspora studies, but also the shifting
socio-political and economic landscapes in the region overall. With the
much applauded growing economies in Asia since WWII, for example, a number
of Asian countries have become desirable migration destinations whether for
strictly economic or more life-style oriented reasons. It is against this
background of the dynamics of development in Asia that this conference
addresses the new and diverse migration trends within the region.

In addressing migration in Asia, this conference will include a wide range
of topical concerns: political diaspora, regimes of remittances,
transnational nationalism, shifting home country-migrant relations, migrant
shortage, human trafficking and migrant rights, multiculturalism and
cosmopolitanism, borderland migration, and gender and family patterns in
transnational fields. Panelists should feel free to focus on such issues,
but should also try to weave those issues into the conference's broader
goals.

Panel and individual paper proposals are both welcome. Please send your
abstract of not more than 250 words to: fschan@cityu.edu.hk

Deadline for abstract: 30 April, 2013
Letter of acceptance will be sent to you by 20 May, 2013
Deadline for full conference paper: 16 Aug, 2013

The conference is co-organized by SEARC and IOM

The Social Science Research Council, Yale University, the National
University of Singapore (NUS), the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities
and Social Sciences (HKIHSS) at the University of Hong Kong, Göttingen
University, and Koç University—collectively the "Conference Organizing
Committee"—are pleased to announce an open call for individual research
paper submissions from researchers in any world region, to participate in a
4-day thematic workshop at an international conference, Inter-Asian
Connections IV: Istanbul.


To be held in Istanbul, October 2-5, 2013 and hosted by Koç University, the
conference will include concurrent workshops, coordinated by individual
directors and showcasing innovative research from across the social
sciences and related disciplines. Workshops will focus on themes of
particular relevance to Asia, reconceptualized as a dynamic and
interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching
from the Middle East through Eurasia and South Asia, to East Asia.


The conference structure and schedule have been designed to enable
intensive 'working group' interactions on a specific research theme, as
well as broader interactions on topics of mutual interest and concern.
Accordingly, there will be a public keynote and plenary sessions in
addition to closed workshop sessions. The concluding day of the conference
will bring all the conference participants together for the public
presentation and exchange of research agendas that have emerged over the
course of the conference deliberations.

are hosting the following talk that might be of interest to Asianists.

*"Garden Automata and the Production of Wonder Across the Indian Ocean"*

By: Daud Ali, University of Pennsylvania


Abstract*:* This paper explores the circulation of technological practices
pertaining to automata between the Eastern Mediterranean and South Asia at
the turn of the first millennium CE. By the tenth century, automata,
particularly those in garden contexts, formed an important part of a newly
emergent cosmopolitan world of objects which created wonder among men as
geographically dispersed as the Ottonian Bishop Luit Prand of Cremona and
the contemporaneous west Indian savant Somadevasuri, writing under a
satellite of the mighty Rastrakuta court. At the center of this world stood
the Abbasid court, from where the greatest interest and most intimate
knowledge regarding these devices was produced. Looking at these devices
from the periphery of this world, from the Western coastal regions of the
South Asian Subcontinent, this paper will explore several questions
regarding the transmission and reception of these automata as a both
technological and cultural practice—how was knowledge of these machines
transmitted between and within specific cultural contexts?; how should we
best understand the domestic and garden environments which seem to have
inevitably formed places where these machines functioned?; and relatedly,
in a world without the supposed disenchantment of the modern, where far
more miraculous beings and events were not unknown, why did these machines
elicit such a particular fascination?


*Date: * 02/04/2013

*Time: * 03:30 pm - 05:30 pm

*Location: * 337 Cohen Hall


In case you are interested and in the area, do please join us.



Best wishes,

> This new documentary series for a major international channel
