Workshop at University of Copenhagen, Denmakr, November 20, 2012
H-ASIA
July 27, 2012
CFP "Colonial Practices of Law, Police, and Punishment," Workshop at
the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, November 20, 2012
Main discussant: David Arnold, Emeritus Professor, The University of
Warwick
During the last decades studies on the practices of law, police, and
punishment in colonial contexts have shared a movement towards an
understanding more sensitive to the multifaceted role played by these
practices in relation to colonial governance. Early studies focused on
the coercive aspect of the colonial authorities' practices of lawmaking,
policing and punishing. Subsequent work stressed these practices'
potential for empowering suppressed peoples. Recent developments within
the field have emphasized the linkages to the formation of colonial
knowledge. Most importantly the scholarly works have drawn attention to
the flexible nature of colonial law, police and punish and to how these
polyvalent practices were essential to the exercise of colonial rule.
However, it is one thing to insist that law, police and punishment were
critical aspects of colonial rule. Paraphrasing Comaroff (2001) it is
quite another thing to explain exactly why, when, and how.
In the workshop we welcome papers that address issues relating to the
"why, when and how" of colonial practices of law, police and punishment:
- Under which specific conditions were policing, law and penal
practices put to use in colonial contexts?
- How did individuals targeted by policing, law and penal practices
react to the imposition of these regulatory mechanisms?
- In which ways did colonial policing, law and penal practices work to
exclude, or differentiate between, certain individuals?
Colonial Law
From mid-nineteen eighties the understanding of colonial law has
developed from a focus on the coercive aspects (Chanock 1985, Stamp
1991), towards an increased attention to the way in which law provided
subordinated peoples with the possibility to contest their dominated
position (Comaroff 1994, Merry 1994, Shamir 2000). Along this
development, scholars have identified how colonial law was imbued with
markers of difference, constituted along the lines of gender, ethnicity,
culture, and race (Chatterjee 1993, Kolsky 2010). The incorporation and
restriction of indigenous customary practices (Snyder 1981; Moore 1986)
and the way in which indigenous life-worlds were shaped by the linking
of law and ethnographic knowledge have also received much attention
(Ashforth 1990, Cohn 1996, Dirks 1992, Shamir and Hacker 2001, Thomas
1994). The studies have more than anything brought to light the
multifaceted role of law in colonial contexts across time and space
(Benton 2002).
Colonial Police
The study of colonial policing has been characterized as the 'neglected
stepchild of colonial and imperial history' (Wardrop 2003). Within the
last twenty years, however, a corpus of literature dealing with various
aspects of colonial policing has emerged. A central theme has been the
importance of the police in relation to the maintenance of social order
and colonial authority for an alien government. While some studies
emphasize the role of the police in the suppression of rebellions,
protection of European property, and control of labour (Hill 1986,
Arnold 1986, Clayton and Killingray 1989, Anderson and Killingray 1991)
other studies have emphasized the shortcomings of colonial policing
(Finkle 1999, Campion 2003, Burton 2003). Other studies have focused on
the link between policing and the formation of colonial knowledge and
ideas about native criminals (Dirks 1997, Sen 1999, Lloyd 2008, Brown
2001). Finally, Foucault's ideas about disciplinary power has been
applied by some (Legg 2007, Kumar and Verma 2009) while others have
rejected the applicability of these ideas in a colonial context (Ahire
1991).
Colonial Punishment
The study of penal practices in colonial contexts has long been a focal
point of colonial studies. Other than showing that institutions of
punishment were an integral aspect of colonial domination, important
studies have shown how prisons were pivotal sites for processes of
subjectivation (Zinoman 2001; Bernault 2003; Arnold 1994), others have
identified important sites for such processes in the practices related
to penal transportation and in penal colonies (Anderson 2000; Sen 2000;
Redfield). Recent studies have expanded the boundaries of our
understanding of colonial punishment, situating colonial penal practices
in a larger framework of coercive networks (Paton 2004; Sherman 2010,
2009). This development has expanded the sphere of penalty to such
areas of colonial society as the household, plantation estates, and
civil society in general.

South-South relations and Globalization - Chinese migrants in Africa
and African migrants in China Conference
funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG as part of the
Point Sud programme, Dakar, Senegal, 19-25 January 2013
Organized by Karsten Giese (IAS) and Laurence Marfaing (IAA), GIGA,
Hamburg
*************
Relations between the People's Republic of China and African countries
date back to the 1950s, but they have gained new momentum in the past 10
years. From the Chinese perspective Africa offers political allies,
resources and markets. Having evolved as the third largest trade partner
of the African continent China has become also more and more active in
development aid and cultural exchange. These new developments have led
to an increased interest by both the media and the scientific community.
For quite some time scholarly analysis remained largely limited to macro
economical and geopolitical issues such as China's roles in regional
conflicts, in development policy or with regard to the exploitation of
mineral resources.
Independently from interstate relations and the activities of big
economic players, however, the last decade has witnessed the arrival of
new actors on the African continent: rapidly growing numbers of
entrepreneurial Chinese migrants have literally reached every corner.
The number of these migrant entrepreneurs, their families and employees
is estimated to have reached up
to one million people spreading across the continent.
While some scholars focused on the effects of the temporary export of
Chinese labour engaged in large scale projects sanctioned by the Chinese
and respective African governments, the mass phenomenon of individual
migration of Chinese economic actors to the continent has long remained
untackled, although profound impacts particularly on the local level of
engagement can be clearly observed. The same can be said about the
independent traders and economic migrants from various African countries
who have chosen China for their destination and whose growing numbers by
far exceed the volume of official Sino-African exchange programmes.
Rather recently scholars have begun to turn their attention towards
analysing the coming and going of these migrants and the socio-economic
phenomena emerging from their activities, especially on the micro level.
A growing number of empirical studies have been contributing to the
understanding of the Chinese presence in African countries and of the
African presence in specific urban centres in China. But although
younger researchers in particular have introduced pioneering approaches,
the existing research literature reveals the remaining shortcomings in
this field of study: insufficient data, narrow and isolated focus only
on selected localities and countries, lack of differentiation between
various relevant actors and social groups, and last not least one-sided
specialization limited to expertise either on China or Africa. This
workshop shall provide a forum for discussing new unpublished and "work
in progress" research. We also aim at providing an opportunity for
making new contacts and for international networking between scholars at
different stages of their academic careers and hope to strengthen
understanding and future cooperation through a micro field work to be
jointly conducted by mixed small groups in Dakar as part of the
conference.
Participants are expected to prepare oral presentations not longer than
ten minutes in order to allow for intensive discussion. Since the
workshop will be conducted in three languages (English, French,
Chinese), we kindly ask participants to submit in advance their full
papers along with a bilingual or trilingual summary of the main
arguments. Bilingual versions of full papers are particularly welcome.
All presenters are also asked to prepare a Power Point presentation in a
language different from the one that they will use for oral
presentation. I.e. if a participant plans to present in English, for
instance, he/she is required to prepare a power point presentation in
either French or Chinese for the convenience of those conference
participants who do not speak English. Participants speaking more than
one of the conference languages will be kindly asked to assist in oral
interpretation in order to overcome the language barriers of others. All
panellists are required to participate in the entire conference. We
envisage publishing a selection of the conference papers in a high
ranking international journal and in an edited volume. The conference
organizers and panel chairs will jointly select contributions for
publication. The results of the micro field study shall be included in
the form of a research note.
*************
The workshop will be held in Dakar, Senegal from January 20 to 24, 2013
and will be limited to 30 participants. Travel expenses including air
fares, local food and accommodation for all participants will be covered
by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG. The conference will consist
of six thematic plenary sessions, one micro field research and one
public seminar wwrapping up the conference discussions.
*************

20 January 2013
Morning session: Historical perspectives on the Chinese presence in
Africa (1)
For the first four decades since the Bandung conference (1955) of in
Sino-African relations were motivated by political and ideological
considerations. Relations were marked by actors sent by the Chinese
state in the fields of medicine, agriculture, construction and military,
as well as by scholarships China provided for Africans to study in
China. Which implications have the perceptions of China that have been
constructed across the African continent during this historical period
today, if any? Do they, for instance, influence the new Chinese economic
actors' access to local markets? How are these new actors perceived
today by various social groups and in which way have these perceptions
been informed by historical experiences?
Afternoon session: Foreign entrepreneurs in African societies (2)
The recent phenomenon of Chinese economic migration to Africa had a
number of predecessors: Both the Arab conquest and the European
colonialism the penetration of local economies by foreigners, thereby
contesting prevailing economic structures. In West Africa, mainly the
presence and economic activities of Lebanese followed by Indians and
more recently migrants from
within the region itself that provoked strong reactions among local
populations and entrepreneurs. What was characteristic for these
historical processes, in which ways did they contribute to social and
economic change, and did they result in innovation?

Morning session: Chinese entrepreneurs in Africa (3)
Chinese economic migrants have become omnipresent across Africa: Their
activities in the trade and services sector are affecting both economy
and society of their host countries. Increasingly heterogeneous and
often operating in the informal sector questions arise with regard to
whether and how the Chinese actors in Africa are integrating into local
societies:
What are their economic and social strategies, how do they compete or
form partnerships among each other and with local populations; in which
way do they facilitate or induce processes of social change locally with
regard to structural economic change, gender relations, and pervasive
social norms to name a few? And in which way – if at all – does the
Chinese impact
differ from the impacts of their earlier predecessors?
Afternoon session: African entrepreneurs in China (4)
African entrepreneurs have become firmly established as economic actors
in the major Chinese trade centres. Having started their sojourns to
Asia at least 25 years ago growing numbers of African buyers have chosen
several Chinese as their latest destinations for their sojourns. In
contrast to the Chinese in Africa substantial numbers of Africans in
China are forced
to live dual lives as students and entrepreneurs. What are the economic
strategies of these Africans in China, which specific problems are
temporary migrants and immigrants facing, how do they organize
themselves, how do they pursue their collective interests and how do
they interact with Chinese social and economic actors? Introduction to
the group work: „Micro field research" in Dakar The conference
organizers will introduce the field, the research locations,
institutions and individual actors to five working groups formed by the
conference participants. Each group shall be composed of at least one
member speaking Chinese and one speaking French as well as of
representatives of
different disciplinary fields.
*************
22 January 2013
Joint micro field research in the working groups
In small working groups the participants jointly analyse relevant
aspects of the Chinese presence in Dakar. Main topics will be the
specific perspectives of the different actors, perceptions, cooperation
and cohabitation but also
conflicting interests and potential conflicts between Senegalese and
Chinese and if relevant other groups of actors.
Group 1: Chinese entrepreneurs, local partners and employees
Group 2: Senegalese merchants/traders cooperating or competing with
Chinese
Group 3: Senegalese lobby groups (commerce, production, customers)
Group 4: Chinese and Senegalese services and manufacturers
Group 5: Chinese civic or governmental bodies representing the
interests of Chinese in Senegal
After conducting the micro field research, each group will discuss and
evaluate the findings and prepare a presentation for the plenary. Each
group is responsible for planning the schedule for this day. The primary
goal of this work is to initiate and deepen mutual scholarly exchange
across disciplinary and linguistic boundaries through practical
cooperation.
*************
23 January 2013
Morning session: Sino-African labour relations (5)
In order to interact with African customers most Chinese entrepreneurs
in Africa depend on local employees who are employed as interpreters,
shop assistants, drivers, watchmen or production workers. African
economic migrants in China have also hired Chinese employees – a rather
new phenomenon. How do distinctly different economic and working
cultures impact on labour relations; what are the major conflict lines,
and are there specific advantages and potential for innovation inherent
to these
constellations?
Afternoon session: Between integration and conflict (6)
The strong presence of the Chinese migrants in Africa and their
economic dominance as perceived locally on the one hand and the strong
spatial concentration of African entrepreneurs in a few Chinese cities
on the other both confront the host societies with clearly visible
others. Processes of integration, cohabitation, participation,
exclusion, marginalization,
and isolation have profound impacts on social peace and local
development. Since different groups are concerned in different manners,
we need to analyse their respective perspectives and especially the
economic and politicaldimensions of relevant interests and processes.
*************
24 January 2013
Public seminar: Presentation of micro field research and conference
wrap up
Each small working groups will present the results of the micro field
research. Chinese and Senegalese individuals as well as representatives
of lobby groups, associations, and government bodies will be invited to
this public seminar in order to introduce their specific perspectives
and comments. Local scholars of all stages and the interested public
will be invited to join this final seminar.

CFP AAS 2013 Panel on "Chinese Food"
*********
From: Charles W. Hayford <

Friends;
Several of us are organizing a panel for the 2013 AAS in San Diego. We
have papers on how the category "Chinese Food" was constructed in late
imperial lower Yangzi culture, post-1949 Suzhou, and in English language
Chinese cookbooks in North America.
We would be happy to consider adding another paper. If you are
interested or want to know more, please email me off-line:
Chayford@AOL.com -- and make it snappy, because we need to coordinate
topics and titles with each other well before the AAS deadline.
Our draft proposal:
Building on recent insights, our panel explores what we do when we
within the present borders of China as projected back into history? did
self-conscious gourmets and hometown cooks come to distinguish local,
regional, national, and non-Chinese foodways? What did they ignore or
exclude? Outside China, the hometown cooking of diasporic immigrants or
Chinese -Americans opened restaurants or wrote cookbooks, they selected,
refigured, and rebranded their foods as could not be found in their
homeland.
Cheers in any case,

within the present borders of China as projected back into history?
When did people call what they cooked not "Chinese food" but simply
"food" or "Suzhou" or "Beijing" or "Sichuan" or "hometown" food? How
did self-conscious gourmets and hometown cooks come to distinguish
local, regional, national, and non-Chinese foodways? What did they
ignore or exclude? Outside China, the hometown cooking of diasporic
Chinese became "Chinese food" to their non-Chinese neighbors; when
immigrants or Chinese -Americans opened restaurants or wrote
cookbooks, they selected, refigured, and rebranded their foods as
"Chinese" even though many of the resulting menus, styles and dishes
could not be found in their homeland.

Subject: H-ASIA: The name of the journal 'Kesari" by Tilak (additional
response)
H-ASIA
July 27, 2012The name of the journal 'Kesari" by Tilak (additional
response)
Dear All
Kesari means lion and it also means saffron colour which was the colour
of Peshwa flag in the eighteenth century. The immediate connotation was
attack (the reformers) as well as defend (caste privileges) as
represented in 'lion' and a 'military flag.'
The name was chosen by Vishnu Shastri Chiplunkar who was a mentor of
Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Chiplunkar at that time edited *Nibhandmala* in
Marathi and *Deccan Star* in English. Both these journal basically
attacked Phule and the Satyashodhak Samaj, Lokhitwadi Deshmukh and the
Prarthana Samaj. In most cases Phule's polemic (anti-Brahmin rhetoric)
was a reaction to ridicule heaped on him by Chiplunkar in *Nibhandmala.
*The circulation of both these journals was very limited and was closed
down in 1880. After a year of preparation *Kesari* and *Mahratta* were
launched on 2nd and 4th January 1881.
Unlike the popular belief *Kesari* was not anti British, when the
colonial state wanted to prosecute Tilak for sedition in 1897, it could
not find a single anti-British article in either *Kesari* or *Mahratta.*
Both these journal were anti reformers advocated violent actions against
reformers.
Kesari for the period 1881 to 1930s is available at Teen Murti library,
New Delhi.

what Tilak meant by this name and also how this name was perceived by

Dear all,
I am trying to find out when and where Wang Zengqi's 汪曾祺 operatic

nothing. Email correspondences with experts have provided most helpful
suggestions, which I will follow up on after arriving in Beijing.
Meantime, if anyone has any information, I would be most grateful.
The productions are: 1960s《范进中举》（京剧); 《芦荡火种》（京剧）;《 沙家浜》 (京剧和样板戏);
1970s《草原烽火》( 话剧）。
Thanks in advance.

what Tilak meant by this name and how the press responded to this name.
By seeking this help, i should have earlier confessed that i am familiar
with different meanings of the word Kesari and i am seeking historical
references, particularly in the context of Tilak's deployment of the
term. Once again i am thankful to responses but also looking forward to
hear from

Dear H-Asia Colleagues,
I'd like to introduce the current issue of the Journal of Modern
Chinese History. This journal is edited by the Institute of Modern
History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, and published by
the Taylor and Francis in UK. Established in 2007, this journal is aimed
to facilitating the communication between the Chinese scholars on modern
Chinese history and the English-language academia. The current issue is
a special issue devoted to the research on the 1911 Revolution,
including original research articles and review essays.
In this issue, Joseph W. Esherick's article "Reconsidering 1911:
Lessons of a sudden revolution" combines his reflection on the recent
scholarship on the 1911 Revolution and his renewed understanding of the
1911 Revolution based on his own and other scholars' works. His article
is now for free download until the end of August through the following
link.

Aims and scope
In recent years, the main force for research into modern Chinese
history has been Chinese scholars, who up until this point have not had
many Western outlets for their scholarship. The Institute of Modern
History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences seeks to re-dress this
with its international publication, the Journal of Modern Chinese
History : a new platform for Chinese and foreign scholars to exchange
ideas directly. Fully refereed and published twice a year, the journal
focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It aims to promote
research on modern Chinese history by encouraging discussion of
political, economic, ideological, cultural and military history. The
journal also encourages discussion on the history of society, foreign
affairs, and gender as well as regional research and historiography.
The Journal of Modern Chinese History welcomes all original research
including research articles, review articles and research notes,
especially those reflecting recent developments in scholarship. For
paper submission, the email is:
chinesehistory@cass.org.cn<mailto:

Dear all,
I am still seeking one or two additional papers for a panel for the
conference of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS). Please also
contact me if you are interested in being a discussant. A preliminary
abstract follows, but it may be revised in accordance with the papers
selected.
CFP AAS 2013: At the boundaries of acceptability: Theorizing women's
mobility, isolation, and intimacy
ABSTRACT: Women's mobility seems to be ever increasing within Asian
contexts and through the Asian diaspora. This panel investigates
various forms of women's mobility, ranging from riding buses and driving
scooters in Nepal and Malaysia to Burmese refugees making a
transcontinental move to the state of New York. Public forms of
transportation create a situation of anonymity and proximity in which
women may be sexually harassed, while motorbikes and cars may serve as
an excuse for close proximity of couples or as a means for reaching
semi-private locations. And while immigration or refugee resettlement
can be viewed as a significant move away from the gendered strictures of
one's home community, women may find themselves in a situation of
greater isolation and public regulation in their new locale. The panel
addresses the ways in which binary constructs of public/private
spaces and mobility/constraint break down upon consideration of the
diverse ways intimacy is produced in various cultural, class, and gender
contexts. In some contexts intimacy is created in public spaces, and in
others, intimate matters become subject to government regulation. In an
attempt to theorize gender and mobility, the panelists eschew simplistic
notions of progress
for women by using detailed ethnographic research that elucidates the
complexities involved in changing gender norms, women's increased
mobility, and the consequences that follow.
Please send abstracts and institutional affiliation to Jan Brunson,
jbrunson@hawaii.edu, by *July 29th*. Abstracts will be reviewed and
accepted on a rolling basis, so please contact me at your earliest
convenience.
