Ed. note: The message below contains two different years in the
post, 2013 in the data at the opening and 2012 in the text. A visit
to the website confirms that the event is this December not next year.
Also, the text seems to suggest that a major focus will be on
Guantanamo, which is, well, not very Asian in perspective, but I
suspect a number of Asianist, who might be free at this time would
find a number of significant questions raised that might reflect upon
their own research and teaching. One need only go back to the early
years of H-ASIA logs to revisit the correspondence concerning the
Enola Gay exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution--a controversy
which saw a great number of politicians of all stripes posturing and
fulminating against the SI staff's earnest attempts to provide museum
visitors with perspectives on the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The fall out from that dispute appears to have put a damper on the
intellectual independence of the Smithsonian's various museums. And, I
know that most of us can think of glaring examples of this sort of
disconnect between history and accountability in most of the Asian
nations that we study.

Conference Location: New York, United States
Conference Date: 2013-12-11 [sic] [2012-12-11]
Date Submitted: 2012-07-30
Announcement ID: 196077

The Alliance for Historical Dialogue and Accountability (AHDA) at
Columbia University's Institute for the Study of Human Rights will hold
its first annual conference in New York City, December 11-14, 2012.
Historical dialogue and accountability is a growing field of advocacy
and scholarship that encompasses the efforts in conflict,
post-conflict, and post-dictatorial societies to come to terms with
their pasts. In contesting nationalist myths and identities, in
examining official historical narratives, and opening them to
competing narratives about past violence, historical dialogue seeks to
provide analysis of past violence grounded in empirical research;
acknowledge the victims of past violence and human rights abuses;
challenge and deconstruct national, religious, or ethnic memories of
heroism and/or victimhood; foster shared work between interlocutors of
two or more sides of a conflict; identify and monitor how history is
misused to divide society and perpetuate conflict; enhance public
discussion about the past.

This conference seeks to consider questions relating to these topics,
and the state of the relatively new field of historical dialogue and
its relationship to other discourses such as transitional justice,
memory studies, oral history and historical redress. Little
consideration has been given to the intersections of these discourses,
and how these can be employed as tools in understanding the root
causes of conflict. The conference thus seeks to explore the
possibilities and limits of these concepts and methods, searching for
unexplored connections and elaborating upon how historical analysis
can be employed to resolve long-standing sectarian conflicts.

We seek to explore the genealogy of the discipline of historical
dialogue as well as research emanating from it: how do the memory and
history of past violence evolve over time, and how do they influence a
given society in the present day? What is the relationship of advocacy
to knowledge production and the relationship between history, memory,
and contemporary society? What is the relationship of historical truth
to testimonies in truth commissions, and how do truth commissions
construct historical truth? How can the tensions that exist between
dialogue and accountability be understood, addressed or reconceived?
In what ways can one compare historical narratives in post (identity)
conflict to post authoritarian regimes? What is the role of subjects
such as gender, religion, human being and citizen in understanding
historical narrative, memory, dialogue and accountability? Finally,
the conference seeks to be a space of interaction and the exchange of
ideas between scholars and practitioners who often do not have the
opportunity to collaborate, and we welcome papers that address this
divide or reach across these boundaries.

The conference will be co-hosted by the Guantanamo Public Memory
Project, and will also feature the Guantanamo Public Memory Projects
first traveling exhibit and digital media as a shared international
challenge in historical dialogue.

Proposals for individual papers, panels, roundtable discussions and
digital media presentations will be considered. The deadline for
submission of proposals is August 30, 2012. All proposals should
include a 300-500 word abstract, as well as your name, contact
information and a brief bio. Proposals can be submitted electronically
via the AHDA website, http://hrcolumbia.org/ahda or by e-mailing
ahda@columbia.edu. If you have any questions, please contact the AHDA
program director, Ariella Lang, at ahda@columbia.edu. Limited travel
and lodging funds are available; applications for funding will be made
available upon acceptance of your submission.

Minorities, Nations and Cultural Diversity. The Challenge of
Non-Territorial Autonomy
9-10 November 2012, Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland
http://www.conferencepro.eu/nta/

The European Centre for Minority Issues (Flensburg, Germany), jointly
with The School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy at
Queens University Belfast, and the Department of Central & Eastern
European Studies, University of Glasgow call upon interested scholars
to participate in a multidisciplinary conference on the challenges of
Non Territorial Autonomy (NTA) in a world of nation-states.

Cultural diversity is the norm in a world of nation-states. A
recurrent problem is how to organise what are in fact, multi-ethnic
and multi-nation states so that majorities and minorities are able to
coexist and effectively participate in the life of the state,
bolstering allegiance without suffering cultural alienation and
without resorting to territorial secession. Multicultural liberal
democracies sincerely champion equality and individual human rights,
but often have considerable difficulties in accommodating culturally
diverse minority communities. Territorial representation is only
possible when minority communities inhabit a compact territorial
space, yet in the majority of cases, minority communities do not
reside compactly, making any territorial representation impossible.
This situation often causes intractable problems for the functioning
of democratic polities, and requiring modalities of non-territorial
autonomy (NTA) as a solution.

The aim of this conference is to examine in theory, empirically and
through the work of legal practitioners, the challenges, and possible
solutions offered by different models of NTA for the effective
participation of minorities in public life. Non-Territorial autonomy
takes variety of different forms, such as Consociationalism and
National Cultural Autonomy, but also forms of representation that
de-territorialises self-determination, as in the case of indigenous
communities, the juridical autonomy as with religious communities, or
in the practice of some models of multiculturalism. We invite
theoretical and comparative papers and case studies on NTA models that
build upon theoretical consideration and/or consider empirical case
studies.

The organising committee would like to welcome papers addressing the
following issues:

* Can NTA serve the goals of European integration? Can such models be
incorporated into the EU minority protection framework?
* Does NTA help resolve protracted territorial conflicts? Examples
include, but are not limited to Bosnia, Kurdistan or Israel/Palestine?
* What are the limits and/or possibilities of implementing NTA models
in liberal democracies?
* Can NTA models rejuvenate multiculturalism?
* Can models of NTA enhance the integration of Diasporas?
* What are the opportunities for Indigenous self-determination within
the NTA framework?
* Can models of NTA help the effective participation of minorities in
post-colonial states? And, can NTA models help eliminate the cultural
residues of colonialism?

This list is not exhaustive.

MODE OF APPLICATION

Applicants should submit a 300 word abstract and a short biographic
statement (max 300 words) indicating institutional affiliation and if
they wish to be considered for the early career subsidy at the website

CFP for MCLC special issue on political crowds in contemporary China

MCLC SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS

http://mclc.osu.edu/rc/announcements/crowds.htm

The Dis/Appearance of the Political Crowd in Contemporary China
Guest Edited by Anup Grewal and Tie Xiao

Deadline: January 15, 2013

This special issue considers the question of the cultural imaginary of
collectivity and mass political action in contemporary China, in
comparison to, in light of, and as a departure from its centrality in
much of the early and mid twentieth century.

For most of the twentieth century, the imagery of both actual and
imagined masses in action was central to evoking political discontent,
power, and even subjectivity in different representational forms. Such
imagery appears to be largely missing in contemporary China: either
actively disappeared or relegated to crowds harnessed for state rituals,
stirred up by entertainment, or yoked to a historical past in official
politics and culture; and appearing as oblique and sometimes nostalgic
imagination in the wider cultural realm. Is China witnessing what has
been deemed a global end to the "era of the crowd," in which masses as
literal physical assemblies, when they do appear, are cast in the mold
of anomalies or anachronisms? Or, is there a re-appearance of the lure
of collective action, real and imagined, in new formations of the
"multitude"? How do we consider recent upsurges of mass action in China
today? What/who do they
represent and how are they represented? What possibilities are
generated for political collectivity in the dispersed masses mobilized
by new media networks, or creative expressions evoking stealthy forms of
political nidentification? Do these potentially new forums of collective
mobilization and expression challenge ideas about the necessity of
actual assembly and physical participation in collective action for the
creation of both political subjectivity and large-scale political
communities? What effect do artistic representations, from digital
crowds in film to literary representations of "the people" or identities
of class, sexuality and gender, have for the cultural imagination of the
political power of the masses in contemporary China?

Finally, this special issue aims to tap into urgent questions about the
nexus between aesthetics and politics and the problem of community, not
only in China today but within the contemporary formation of
globalization more generally. In other words, we seek to address
questions of the possibility of non-totalitarian forms of collectivity,
mass action, and their representation, and more generally intervene in
discussions about the global imagination and practice of participatory
politics that has been most compellingly enlivened by the ongoing Arab
revolutions, the Occupy and 99% movements and, within China more
locally, recent social media mobilized actions as well as protests in
Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Wukan.

We welcome papers that address such themes and others through
historical and contemporary perspectives of actual and imagined masses
in China and that take up the question of "representation" in all its
political and aesthetic connotations. Papers may come from a range of
representational and/or media perspectives, including those of film,
photography, publicperformance art, popular television drama,
literature, architecture, advertising, and official state
communications.

The submission deadline is January 15th, 2013. Please adhere to MCLC
STYLE GUIDELINES <http://mclc.osu.edu/jou/mclsubm.htm>. Send electronic
submissions to *both* guest editors, Anup Grewal (anupgi@gmail.com) and

September 2012 exhibitions and events:
New exhibitions Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire and
Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America: The William L. Clements
Library Collection open, exhibition related programs, tours, artmaking,
and the Zell Writers Series gets into full swing!

NEW EXHIBITIONS

Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire
September 22, 2012–January 13, 2013
How is it that an American painter came to define the British Empire?
Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776)
depicts the death of James Wolfe, the British commander at the 1759
Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and
Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre
of large-scale history painting, West flouted the conventions of
academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated
paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the
painting, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the
University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan,
Canadian, and British collections, this ambitious and thematically
focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other
depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield. A fully
illustrated catalogue, published by the Museum as part of its new UMMA
Books series, accompanies the exhibition.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.
McCrindle Foundation, the University of Michigan Health System, the
University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice
President for Research, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and
THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).

Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America: The William L. Clements
Library Collection
September 22, 2012–January 13, 2013
This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the
1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition,
Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire, which features the
Clements Library's major painting The Death of General Wolfe. William L.
Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North
America dating between 1492 and 1800, with a heavy emphasis on early
European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for
control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items
from Mr. Clements's original donation and pieces the Library has
acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in
eighteenth-century American history.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.

CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS

YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
August 11–December 30, 2012
The Seoul-based art collaborative, YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
(YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of
visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between
media, technologies, and cultural histories, YHCHI has gained
international acclaim for their "net art" productions—mostly
black-and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic
font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly
commissioned piece by UMMA, which will be added to the artists' website,
yhchang.com, as well as an exclusive artists' book published by the
Museum as part of the UMMA Books series.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and
Susan L. Johe Endowment, the University of Michigan Office of the
Provost, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional generous
support is provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the
School of Art and Design's Penny Stamps Speaker Series.

African Art and the Shape of Time
August 18, 2012–February 3, 2013
African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives
material form to diverse concepts of temporality, history, and memory.
African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as
expressions of timeless myths and rituals, interrupted only by the
colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such
conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and
its philosophical, social, and religious significance. The exhibition
includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art,
National Museum of African Art, Fowler Museum at UCLA, as well as
several Detroit area private collections, and is organized around five
themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of
Things, Embodied Time, Moving Through Time, Global Time, and NOW. The
Museum has published a scholarly exhibition catalogue in conjunction
with the exhibition as part of the new UMMA Books series.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of
Michigan Health System and the James L. and Vivian A. Curtis Endowment
Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the CEW Frances and
Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Jesper Just: This Nameless Spectacle
August 18–December 9, 2012
Visitors encountering Danish artist Jesper Just's This Nameless
Spectacle will find themselves captivated in stages, as the experience
of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation, as
in much of his work, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape
of beauty, provocation, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as
it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and
perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a
neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment, while a young
male character appears to follow her. Once home, she is able to leave
her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just's
unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended,
unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than
frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to
abandon, and this is the essence of Just's gift for hypnotic
storytelling.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of
Michigan Office of the Provost.

Flip Your Field: Abstract Art From the Collection
June 9–September 2, 2012
This is the inaugural exhibition of a new series of exhibitions to be
curated by UM faculty. Entitled Flip Your Field, this series asks these
guest curators to consider artwork outside their field of specialization
from UMMA's renowned collections to challenge their own thinking as well
as that of UMMA's audiences. Celeste Brusati, Professor of History of
Art, Women's Studies, and Art and Design, and an expert in the visual
art and culture of the Netherlands from the fifteenth through the
seventeenth centuries, has gathered a compelling group of images by such
titans of twentieth-century abstraction as Lee Bontecou, Helen
Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, Robert Motherwell, and
Antonio Tàpies, as well as works by many other unexpected artists.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.

Judith Turner: The Flatness of Ambiguity
June 9–September 2, 2012
Judith Turner is a noted American photographer whose subject matter is
mostly architecture. Turner's training as a designer allows her to
visually understand an architect's intention and to reveal it in
compositions that she constructs and edits through her camera work. Her
photography can be seen as a metalanguage of architectural intention and
as an artistic expression that is inseparable from the representation of
the built work. Turner's signature style consists of highly abstract
black-and-white compositions that play with the ambiguity of light,
shadow, and tonality to heighten the aesthetic character of her subject
matter and reveal visual relationships not readily apparent. This
exhibition presents approximately forty works that span Turner's
three-decade career, and is accompanied by a related publication of
photographs by Turner with an introductory essay by UMMA Director Joseph
Rosa.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Macy's and the
University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Occasion for Revolution? Benjamin West's Death of General Wolfe
Sunday, September 23, 3 pm
Helmut Stern Auditorium
Benjamin West's 1770 canvas The Death of General Wolfe was one of the
most celebrated paintings in eighteenth-century England. After initially
expressing reservations about West's depiction of the death of Major
General James Wolfe in the 1759 defeat of the French at Québec, Sir
Joshua Reynolds, President of the Royal Academy, stated that "I foresee
that this picture will not only become one of the most popular, but
occasion a revolution in art." This talk by curator Carole McNamara will
look at how West's painting figured in the tradition of
eighteenth-century military commemorations, including other depictions
of Wolfe, and examine why it is that West's version became the iconic
portrayal of this important military victory.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.
McCrindle Foundation, the University of Michigan Health System, the

Guided Tours

African Art and the Shape of Time
Sundays, September 2, 9, 30, 2 pm
African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as
expressions of timeless myths and rituals, interrupted only by the
colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such
conventional views by exploring material forms of diverse concepts of
temporality, history, and memory. Join UMMA Docents as they discuss the
thirty works from UMMA, other museums, and private collections.

Art as Experience
Sundays, September 9, 16, 23, 30, 1 pm
UMMA's award-winning docents will guide visitors to experience art
through active looking at selected highlights of the collections. These
general tours provide a good introduction to the collection and to
strategies for looking at art through lively and engaging conversation.

YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
Sunday, September 16, 2 pm
Blurring the boundaries between media, technologies, and cultural
histories, the Seoul-based art collaborative YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY
INDUSTRIES has gained international acclaim for their "net art"
productions. Docents will introduce YHCHI's corpus of digital text with
synchronized music focusing on this new piece, commissioned by UMMA,
which will be added to the artists' website, yhchang.com.

Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire
Sunday, September 23, 2 pm
Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776)
depicts the death of the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec
during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War.
West's painting of a contemporary event in the conventions of an
academic history painting became one of the most celebrated in Britain.
Docents will illuminate this pivotal moment in art history.

Lunchtime Tours
Friday, September 21, 12:15-12:45 pm
Designed specifically for the lunch hour, UMMA staff will offer 30
minutes of conversation about art in the UMMA galleries around fresh and

This book engages the reader with its story-telling style as it illustrates the principles of Buddhism with concrete examples. Paying special attention to the rise of Buddhist practice in the West, Habito introduces the novice to Buddhist experience in its historical unity and the variety of traditions that reflect its essence. Integrated into Habito's text are five personal accounts by practicing Buddhists: on being a Therevada Buddhist by the Venerable Dhammananda, Dr. Chatsumarn Kabilsing; on being a Zen Buddhist by Jan Chozen Bays; on being a Tibetan Buddhist by Judith Simmer Brown; on being a Pure Land Buddhist by Kenneth Tanaka; and on living the Lotus by Virginia Straus

 

 

 

17. Nagarjuna & the Philosophy of Openness/ Nancy McCagney/ Rs. 400

 

 Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ('akasa') in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding of 'sunyata', or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term 'sunyata' was new, and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the word to mean 'openness,' Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy of religion.

 

 

 

18. Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the  Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/   Rs. 600

 

Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.

 

Mediating the Power of Buddhas offers a fascinating analysis of the seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.
