>
> This Clark Center project explores responses to crises and upheavals in
> early modern landed empires, with special focus on the Ottoman and Qing
> empires. In particular, we will investigate the perceptions of temporary
> collapses of state power in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.
> Detecting tendencies toward moralism and perceived decline in elite
> discourses and state policies, we will look at the ways such concerns were
> expressed in the domains of institutional and educational reforms, sexual
> mores, and cultural representation. We will also examine how social
> boundaries were both rigidified and contested at such moments of
> transition. We hope to discern shared patterns across Eurasia as well as
> trajectories specific to each political entity.
>
> Session 1: Moralism and the Rhetoric of Decline in Seventeenth-Century
> Eurasia; Nov. 16-17, 2012
>
> The background for this conference is the sixteenth-century price
> revolution in Eurasia and the attendant political and social crises of the
> first half of the seventeenth century. It will focus on two phenomena.
> The first is the religious movements and discourses of moral purification,
> which ranged from sexual mores to people's attire when they appeared in
> the public domain. Papers on this theme will consider whether this may
> have been a reaction to what Walter Andrews has termed The Age of Beloveds
> (2005). The second phenomenon is the proliferation of literatures of
> decline, in which bureaucrats and intellectuals tried to diagnose what was
> wrong with their states and societies, and to prescribe solutions
> accordingly. Papers on this topic will go beyond the limitations of
> content analysis and positivist reading, and will consider its social,
> literary and rhetorical dimensions.
>
> Session 2: Urban Discontent in the Long Eighteenth Century across Eurasia;
> Feb. 8-9, 2013
>
> This conference will examine various social and literary expressions of
> discontent in the main urban centers across these landed empires. Topics
> may include urban violence, sexual mores, literary lampoons, as well as
> states' responses to such challenges to their authority.
>
> Session 3: Imperialism and Fundamentalism in Nineteenth-Century Eurasia;
> May 17-18, 2013
>
> This conference will explore the connections between encounters with
> Western imperialism and the rise of fundamentalist religious and cultural
> movements in the Ottoman and Qing empires. Discussions will occasion a
> revisiting of the term fundamentalism: its history and what it means in
> various contexts (and these in particular). While typically scholarship on
> indigenous responses to imperialism and crises of state power have focused
> on the local reformers and modernizers, the papers for this session will
> look at the equally new turn to—or invention of—traditions, whether
> religious, intellectual, or literary, in the Eurasian landed empires on
> the verge of modernity. These developments, it will be suggested, helped
> to forge impressions both internally and abroad of these societies as
> moribund and "traditional" by the turn of the twentieth century. Topics
> may include Neo-Confucian revivalism in the late Qing, "preserving
> character" (xizi) associations in late nineteenth-century China,
> experiments with old-style poetry, changes in the Ottoman shadow puppet
> theater (karagöz), Salafi Islam, and Sultan Abdülhamid II's pan-Islamic
> foreign policy.

> Conference Participants

> Ahmanson-Getty Postdoctoral Fellowships
>
> This theme-based resident fellowship program, established with the support
> of the Ahmanson Foundation of Los Angeles and the J. Paul Getty Trust, is
> designed to encourage the participation of junior scholars in the Center's
> yearlong core programs. Scholars will need to have received their
> doctorates in the last six years, (no earlier than July 1, 2006 and no
> later than September 30, 2012). Scholars whose research pertains to the

> the very workings of deception in the figuring and definition of East

> Dear H-Asia members,
>
> We welcome papers for a conference on Constructions of Race and Racism in
> East Asia, which will be held at the University of the Armed Forces,
> Munich, Germany from September 12 to 14, 2012.
>
> This conference follows an earlier book project entitled "Race and Racism
> in Modern East Asia: Western Constructions and Eastern Reactions" (Brill,
> 2012).
>
> In that project, about half of the participants surveyed and examined the
> roots of racial constructions of East Asians (principally, Chinese,
> Japanese and Koreans)
>
> in the West and their manifestations during the last 150 years, whereas
> the other half focused upon the characteristics of local racial
> constructions and indigenous racism in modern East Asia,
>
> with particular attention to the manifestations of racial thought and
> racism as the result of the ethnic encounter during Japanese colonialism.
>
> During the coming conference, we would like to examine the following
> topics in the context of East Asia:
>
> * Sources of modern racism – the interplay between indigenous and foreign
> perspectives
>
> * The link between nationalism and racism
>
> * Racial theories in a transnational perspective
>
> * The impact of racial thought on mutual images
>
> * Gender and racial thought
>
> We welcome submissions that deal with these issues and similar questions
> from scholars working within history, anthropology, literature,
> linguistics, cultural studies, political science and related disciplines.
> The organizers plan to create an edited volume out of the conference
> papers.
>
> To that end, please send your proposed titles, institutional affiliation
> (and year of study, in the case of doctoral students), and abstracts of
> 200-300 words as a Word attachment to the organizers by 25 February 2012.
> Successful participants will be informed by late March 2012 and will be
> expected to submit their conference papers for discussion by 15 August
> 2012. Any questions on the theme of the conference should be sent to
>
> Walter Demel walter.demel@unibw.de and Rotem Kowner
> kowner@research.haifa.ac.il
>
> To support the participation of scholars from around the world, we can
> offer hotel accommodation and board and may be able to offer travel
> assistance to a limited number of participants.
>
> Kind regards and Happy New Year,
> Walter Demel (University of the Armed Forces, Munich) and Rotem Kowner
