> CORRECTED CALL FOR APPLICATIONS (POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS)
>
> DEADLINE: 30 June 2011
>
> The Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Kyoto University, Japan,
> invites applications for four post-doctoral fellowships
> (Program-Specific Researcher for Special Research and Education:
> Tokutei Kenkyuin, full-time, non-tenured) under its program, "Towards
> Sustainable Humanosphere in Southeast Asia."
>
> Southeast Asia, through its regional institution of ASEAN (Association
> of Southeast Asian Nations), has emerged as a hub for East Asia
> community-building. The highly diverse societies in this region have
> undergone rapid social, economic, and political changes that can only
> be understood if the local-global knowledges and experiences of their
> peoples, and the ways in which these knowledges and experiences are
> shaped by, and in turn shape, the ecologies, histories, and social
> relations in their respective habitats, are fully taken into account.
> Working within the paradigm of "sustainable humanosphere"
> (http://www.humanosphere.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/), this research
> program seeks to promote sustainable development in Southeast Asia by
> analyzing the complex interactions between ecological and social
> environments in different localities; by developing strategies and
> techniques for managing social, political, economic, cultural and
> environmental challenges; and by creating a platform for dialogue and
> collaboration among scholars from across disciplines (including the
> natural sciences) in the region.
>
> The objectives of the program are: to analyze structures of everyday
> life, with the aim of identifying social safety mechanisms that will
> enable people to cope with natural disasters, pandemics, ethnic and
> religious conflicts, poverty, inequality, aging, environmental
> degradation and other issues; to undertake ecological studies toward
> building sustainable environments and biomass-based societies; and to
> foster scholarship that can be a source of foundational knowledge for
> East Asia community-building. Through this program, we strive to
> promote intellectual and academic exchanges and collaboration among
> Southeast Asia scholars in East Asia.
>
> Post-doctoral fellowships will be offered in the following research
> clusters:
>
> Plural Coexistence (2 fellowships available):
>
> Southeast Asia is rich in its diversity of ethnic, religious and
> cultural composition. By and large the region has maintained the
> coexistence of such diversity while at the same time achieving
> economic progress, becoming the hub of the flow of people, goods,
> money and information. Yet the region is also confronted with serious
> issues such as the decrease of biodiversity and tropical forest,
> disasters, pandemics, aging population, ethnic and religious
> conflicts, economic differentiation and poverty. In the face of this,
> how is coexistence and sustainability possible despite or on account
> of diversity?
>
> For this purpose, we promote the study of plural coexistence which
> connects the global and the local dynamically, towards mending the
> political and economic imbalances of globalization. How can we make
> public resources out of the region's social foundations at the basis
> of people's everyday lives? How can we connect these in a
> complementary way with existing systems of governance towards solving
> problems and issues mentioned above?
>
> New Agenda for Sustainable Biomass Society (2 fellowships available):
>
> The tropics have the highest potentiality to reproduce biomass due to
> greater solar radiation and active heat and water cycle. The region
> has also been the most fertile ground for bio-resource commodification
> in human history. With the changing status of biomass as forest and
> agricultural products, bio-materials, and financial instruments, the
> tropical zone has undergone fast-paced metamorphoses through
> extensive, environment-dependent, resource utilization and intensive
> agro-industrial production, including large-scale plantations of oil
> palm, Acacia mangium, teak, coffee, tea, sugarcane, and cassava, to
> name a few.
>
> Defining high biomass society as a crucial niche for global survival
> and sustainability, this cluster invites proposals with innovative
> research topics and methodologies to examine the multi-dimensional
> driving forces of change in Southeast Asia. High biomass societies
> offer important locales to investigate the transformation of regional
> landscapes for food production, development of renewable sources of
> energy and biomaterials, and reduction of carbon emission. Formulas
> for better articulation among human community, local fauna and flora,
> geospheric/atmospheric circulations, and global political economy are
> duly needed. Scholars across disciplines working on Southeast are
> invited to help set new agenda for sustainable biomass societies.
>
> The fellowships will be for a maximum term of two years, with starting
> dates of November 1, 2011 (negotiable). Working hours are at the
> discretion of the fellow, with standard working hours from 8:30 to
> 17:15 (discretionary labor system). Compensation on an annual basis is
> competitive and commensurable with research experience, and is
> determined in accordance with the existing salary guidelines set by
> Kyoto University. Annual leave, research funds, and other issues
> relating to the contract will also be determined in accordance with
> university regulations.
>
> The fellowships are designed to offer up-and-coming scholars the time,
> space, and financial as well as institutional support necessary to
> produce outstanding scholarship that will promote the study of
> sustainable humanosphere in Southeast Asia.
>
> We seek applicants with excellent academic backgrounds and research
> training who are willing and able to cross disciplines, who are
> strongly motivated to publish significant scholarship that fulfills
> the aims and purposes of the Center's research program, and who can
> help expand and strengthen research networks in East Asia (Northeast
> and Southeast Asia).
>
> Applications are open to scholars of all nationalities. Applicant must
> have a Ph.D. or proof of a solid research and publication track record
> that is directly relevant to the themes and topics outlined by the
> research clusters above. Applicant must not be the recipient of a
> JSPS Post Doctoral Fellowship or similar programs at the time of
> employment.

> Asia as an area of study was contoured by the geopolitical imperatives of
> the Cold War – despite a long history of interactions across this
> geographical expanse, before the end of the Second World War, there were
> few
> references to Asia as a coherent unit and there is no term for the
> continent
> in any indigenous language. This constitution of Asia, accompanied by the
> independence of former colonies, also led West Asia to be restructured as
> the 'Middle East' and separated from 'South Asia' to which it had long
> historical connections. 'Southeast Asia' was similarly divorced from both
> 'South' and 'East' Asia. These arrangements were framed by U.S.-sponsored
> alliances (SEATO and CENTO) in which Pakistan played a bridging role as a
> member of both, while India, Indonesia, and many other regional states
> joined together to launch the Non-Aligned Movement.
>
>
> The end of the Cold War has created new fractures as the demise and
> breakup
> of the Soviet Union rendered Non-Alignment anachronistic, and new cultural
> geographies have come into being in material and political practice, as
> well
> as in the imaginary of the elites and the populations involved. The
> changed
> geopolitical ecologies reconfigure alliances which parallel earlier
> historical patterns.
>
>
> This is evident in West and South Asia where deeper American involvement
> has
> been accompanied by Turkish and Indian bids for regional prominence,
> evoking
> memories of coeval dominions of Ottoman and Mughal empires. Sited at the
> confluence of several emerging networks, this region is crucial in
> understanding new realities of strategic alliances and interests. The
> expanded scale of production in China and India has intensified trade
> relations with the energy-rich states of West Asia. Denser trade in the
> neighboring seas accompanied by state failures in east Africa has also
> spurred a rise of piracy inviting new forms of cooperation between global
> and regional powers. If increased prosperity has made the 'emerging
> economies' more confident in their dealings with the West, their roles in
> their 'near abroad' has been akin to satrapies vying for greater autonomy.
> At the same time, the end of the Cold War has encouraged ethnic groups to
> tap into and revive their collective memories to challenge their
> fragmentation across national borders.
>
>
> This workshop examines these realignments in their historical context. It
> is
> based on the premise that spatial imaginaries are generated by a broad
> parallelogram of forces, but have to resonate successfully with collective
> historical memories and cultural practices. We invite original
> contributions
> from scholars of different disciplinary affiliations and regional
> interests
> to situate historical and contemporary spatial imaginaries of Asia within
> a
> broader global geopolitical and historical framework.
>
> Possible themes include:
>
> § historical roots of emerging alliances;
>
> § collective memories and new identities;
>
> § changing self-perceptions of states and their implications for global

> Ochiai Kô (Shudo University, Hiroshima):
>
> A village headman's network and the ideology of "national interest" The
> ideology of "national interest" became established not as an abstract
> ideal of government, but rather as a practical mindset based on the idea
> of systematically enriching the state. Ikegami Tarôzaemon (1718–1798), the
> headman (nanushi) of a village in the vicinity of Edo, is one such
> practitioner. Tarôzaemon dedicated his whole life to spreading sugar
> cultivation and production in order to stop the outflow of bullion for
> sugar imports. Crucial to his success was Tarôzaemon's exploitation of his
> influential social network. His far-reaching connections included people
> he knew through his position as the village head of Daishikawaramura as
> well as people whom he had met through their common interest in haikai
> poetry. His network further extended to the shogunate's most powerful
> politician, Tanuma Okitsugu, whose support for the sugar project was
> crucial. The thread linking individuals within this network to
> Tarôzaemon's sugar-related efforts was a shared commitment to an ideology
> of "national interest."

>
> Rai Shunsui (1746-1816), the oldest son from a reasonably well-off family
> of dyers in Takehara in Aki province, left Takehara for the Kansai region
> in 1764 at the young age of nineteen. Nominally undertaken to cure a
> chronic disease, the trip in fact bespoke Shunsui's determination to
> distinguish himself. With him he carried a list of over one hundred names
> of prominent men in Sakai, Osaka, and Kyoto. Before his return four months
> later he had made contact with seventy-four scholars, intellectuals, and
> other influential men. Focusing on two records kept by Shunsui, Tôyûzakki
> (Record of my trip east, 1764) and Zaishinkiji (Record of my stay in
> Osaka, undated), the paper will investigate Shunsui's formation of a
> personal network that would ultimately bring him employment at the
> Hiroshima domain school and help him establish a reputation as one of the
> most influential and respected scholars of the late eighteenth and early
> nineteenth centuries.
>
>
> 16:30–17:00
>
> Takeshi Moriyama (Murdoch University, Perth)
>
> Between a Snowy Village and the Edo Bunjin Salon
>
> Apart from his book Hokuetsu seppu, pub. 1837-1842, Suzuki Bokushi
> (1770-1842) is famous for his extensive communication network,
> notwithstanding his location in a remote rural town in Echigo province and
> his modest lifestyle as a farmer-merchant. One of his address books,
> 'Kumoino kari', contains hundreds of entries listing people from whom he
> received letters. These correspondents were geographically spread from
> Mutsu to Higo, and ranged socially from famous authors and kabuki actors
> to rural intellectuals and samurai officials. Examples of illustrious
> figures in the address book are Kyôden, Bakin, Ikku, Hokusai, Bôsai,
> Nampo, Danjûrô and Ebizô. Several courtesans in the pleasure quarter of
> Yoshiwara, including the celebrated beauty Hanaôgi, are also named. This
> paper examines the cultural and social mechanisms which enabled Bokushi to
> make contact with such celebrities in Edo, and the extent to which Bokushi
> was able to participate in the urban bunjin salon.

Fw: [Triplegem] Understanding Anger

Hi All,

Just sharing thoughts..

Hope all are well.

---

It is never the case that another person has made you angry.

It is always the case, that it is you, who has made yourself angry.

If you take the person who has aroused the anger in you, and you put him in an enclosed room, where you can neither see him or hear him, and if he repeated the same actions again, then you would remain unaffected.

So, therefore it is not due to his actions that you are angered. It is due to *your actions* and *your disposition* which conditions *your response*.

I think it is very beneficial to contemplate the causes for why and how this happens (to have anger arise).

It's usually because you had an expectation, and you did not get what you want.

With Metta,
Nori
