Fluid Boundaries And The Assertion Of Difference In Low-Caste Religious Identity, Nancy M. Martin
Religious Studies Faculty Books and Book Chapters
"The boundaries of religious traditions are being actively contested in India today, though in practice their internal and external structures are fl uid and open. Each religion takes a wide array of forms, refl ecting the diversity of the communities and adherents who fi nd relevance and meaning within it, and symbols and practices fl ow readily across what prove to be very permeable and overlapping boundaries between religious traditions. However, religion has been used by the powerful to assert and maintain dominance and in national and regional communal politics, at times fanning the fl ames of extreme violence. Fundamentalists …
Ladakhi Traditional Songs: A Cultural, Musical, And Literary Study, 2013 The Graduate Center, City University of New York
Ladakhi Traditional Songs: A Cultural, Musical, And Literary Study, Noe Dinnerstein
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation examines the place of traditional songs in the Tibetan Buddhist culture of the former Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh. I look at how Buddhism and pre-Buddhist religion informed the texts and performance contexts of traditional songs, and how Ladakhi songs represent cultural self-images through associated musical, textual, and visual tropes. Many songs of the past, both from the old royal house and the rural Buddhist populations, reflect the socio-political structure of Ladakhi society. Some songs reflect a pan-Tibetan identity, connecting the former Namgyal dynasty to both the legendary King Gesar and Nyatri Tsangpo, the historical founder of the Tibetan …

Colonial Figures: Memories Of Street Traders In The Colonial And Early Post-Colonial Periods, 2012 Wilfrid Laurier University
Colonial Figures: Memories Of Street Traders In The Colonial And Early Post-Colonial Periods, Sheri Lynn Gibbings, Fridus Steijlen
Global Studies Faculty Publications
This article explores post-colonial memories about street traders among individuals who lived in the former colony of the Dutch East Indies. It argues that these narratives romanticize the relationship between Europeans and indigenous peoples. Street vendors are also used to differentiate between periods within colonial and post-colonial history. The nostalgic representation of interracial contact between Europeans and traders is contrasted with representations of other figures such as the Japanese and the nationalist. A recurring feature of these representations is the ability of Europeans to speak with street traders and imagine what they wanted and needed. The traders are remembered as …

Why Chinese Neo-Confucian Women Made A Fetish Of Small Feet, 2012 Grand Valley State University
Why Chinese Neo-Confucian Women Made A Fetish Of Small Feet, Aubrey L. Mcmahan
Grand Valley Journal of History
Abstract for “Why Chinese Neo-Confucian Women Made a Fetish of Small Feet”
This paper explores the source of the traditional practice of Chinese footbinding which first gained popularity at the end of the Tang dynasty and continued to flourish until the last half of the twentieth century.[1] Derived initially from court concubines whose feet were formed to represent an attractive “deer lady” from an Indian tale, footbinding became a wide-spread symbol among the Chinese of obedience, pecuniary reputability, and Confucianism, among other things.[2],[3] Drawing on the analyses of such scholars as Beverly Jackson, Valerie Steele …

Les Écrivains Vietnamiens Francophones Aux Frontières Incertaines, 2012 Université nationale du Vietnam à Ho Chi Minh-Ville
Les Écrivains Vietnamiens Francophones Aux Frontières Incertaines, Pham Van Quang
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The Vietnamese Francophone literature began to take shape so early in the late nineteenth century. It develops later in the periods that followed. However, we wonder if this literature is currently in autonomous fi eld. Using the sociology of literature as a point of departure, we would like to dedicate this study to take into account the world of Vietnamese writers, in particular examining how they enter the literary field. Also, before highlighting the concepts of geographic and literary boundaries directly related to Vietnamese writers, we focus our attention on the educational and professional category they occupy. These elements affect …
