Confronting Cultural Difference In The Establishment Of A Global Zen Community, Joshua A. Irizarry
Confronting Cultural Difference In The Establishment Of A Global Zen Community, Joshua A. Irizarry
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
As a commercial phenomenon, Zen is recognizable throughout the world as a lucrative brand name that communicates harmony, simplicity, and cosmopolitan elegance. In contrast, the Japanese Zen institution’s attempts to develop Zen into a successful global religion have proven more problematic. Despite initial successes by Japanese clergy in establishing centers of Zen practice throughout Europe and the Americas, the past fifty years have seen the dream of a global Zen community descend into a legacy of controversy, scandals, and schisms over conflicting claims of authority.
Looking specifically at the internationalization efforts of the Japanese Sōtō Zen sect, this paper will …
Negotiating Colonialism And Chineseness: Museums, Tours, And Heritage Preservation In Pearl River Delta, Macau, And Hong Kong, Wing-Kai To
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
The history of Hong Kong, Macau, and the Pearl River Delta in connecting China with the world through European colonialism and globalization is a well-documented story. Yet the recent designations of the Historic Centre of Macau in 2005 and the Kaiping "diaolou" (fortified watched towers and mansions) in 2007 as World Cultural Heritage sites have further placed two Chinese outposts of western influence and overseas emigration into sharper focus. With the return of Hong Kong and Macau to Chinese sovereignty at the turn of the last century along with cultural change in the Pearl River Delta, museums, tourism, and heritage …
Maneuvering Modernity: Family Law As A Battle Field In Colonial Taiwan (1895-1945), Yun-Ru Chen
Maneuvering Modernity: Family Law As A Battle Field In Colonial Taiwan (1895-1945), Yun-Ru Chen
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
Twenty five years after launching its own legal modernization in response to Western imperialism, Japan imposed a modern legal system upon its first colony, Taiwan. In accordance with the “respecting old custom” colonial policy, the Japanese created a system called Taiwanese customary law, a mixture of imperial Chinese laws, local customs and European legal concepts, and gradually implemented its newly adopted European-style Meiji Civil Code (1898). However, even since the late 1910s when the colonial policy changed into “full-flag assimilation,” family law remained an exception to the transplantation of Japanese laws. That did not, however, mean that family law was …
Between Regional And National Identity: Spectacle And Festival In Modern Japan, Sean H. Mcpherson
Between Regional And National Identity: Spectacle And Festival In Modern Japan, Sean H. Mcpherson
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
Distinctive cultures of display and spectacle mark the regional diversity of Japanese festivals. At the same time, material and ritual links among these traditions speak to broader forces of cultural standardization and commodification. This paper examines the mobile architecture and wood sculpture of festival floats (dashi) in central Japan as discursive and material markers of the connections between local Shintō festivals (matsuri) and broader agendas of nationalism in modern Japan. The Chita peninsula in Aichi prefecture is famous for dashimatsuri, Shintō shrine festivals featuring the procession of huge, wheeled floats called dashi. I argue that the recurrent reinvention …
Painting Taiwan's Modern Identity, Shelley D. Hawks
Painting Taiwan's Modern Identity, Shelley D. Hawks
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
Taiwan’s painters were dynamic contributors to a revolution in color that dramatically reshaped East Asian art. During the early twentieth century, new techniques of on-site sketching and the introduction of oil paint shook the foundations of Chinese and Japanese ink painting as it had been practiced for centuries. The Japanese colonization of Taiwan, a period when educators such as Ishikawa systematically introduced European painting methods, produced a cohort of painters in Taiwan professionally trained and committed to watercolor and oil painting. Building on international art trends like Impressionism and Fauvism, these painters developed a sense of color distinctly their own. …
Recreating Traditional Japan In Brinkley's Japan, Described And Illustrated By The Japanese, Daniel J. Johnson
Recreating Traditional Japan In Brinkley's Japan, Described And Illustrated By The Japanese, Daniel J. Johnson
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
In 1897-98, Francis Brinkley edited the ten volume set Japan, Described and Illustrated by the Japanese, Written by Eminent Japanese Authorities and Scholars. Brinkley (1841-1912) was an Irish sea captain who resided in Japan for over forty years, spoke and wrote fluent Japanese, was the editor of Japan Mail, an influential English-language newspaper. Published by J. B. Millet Company in Boston and Tokyo, the books were produced for the American and European markets and were a great financial success.
Published in several sizes, from cheap editions illustrated with black and white reproductions to folio sized editions bound in …
Artful Networking: Art Collecting And Cultural Positioning In Early Qing China - The Case Of Gao Shiqi (1645-1704), Amy Huang
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
In this paper I analyze Gao Shiqi’s高士奇 (1645-1704) collecting practices in the context of early Qing politics. This paper argues that art collecting was used as an effective networking tool and played an significant part in defining Gao Shiqi’s cultural status in the court during the Kangxi reign (r. 1661-1722).
Gao Shiqi rose to prominence as Kangxi Emperor’s favorite courtier despite not having a jinshi degree. Because of his inferior background, Gao Shiqi was under pressure to assert his status within the circle of cultural elite—art collecting was his solution. Analysis of his private art inventory indicates that Gao had …
Aesthetic Beauty In The 18th Century Chinese Novel Guwanyan (Preposterous Words), Qing Ye
Aesthetic Beauty In The 18th Century Chinese Novel Guwanyan (Preposterous Words), Qing Ye
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
This paper explores the tension between the radical sexual description and orthodox rhetoric in 18th century Chinese vernacular narrative. My research focuses on a xiaoshuo fiction, Guwangyan (Preposterous Words), authored by Cao Qujing and composed in 1730. This novel pictures the domestic lives of four families in Nanjing from the end of the 17th century to the early 18th century, including many explicit sexual descriptions. I argue that the author projects the ethic concern through the structure and characterization, while presents the anxiety towards desire in graphic sexual descriptions in the novel. The contrast and complementarity of the structural frame …
Absent Presence: Li Yu’S Drama Wanli Yuan And Early Qing Sartorial Politics, Guojun Wang
Absent Presence: Li Yu’S Drama Wanli Yuan And Early Qing Sartorial Politics, Guojun Wang
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
Li Yu’s 李玉 Wanli yuan 萬里圓 (Thousand-li Reunion) is one of the few dramas in the early Qing period that directly addresses the topic of the Ming-Qing transition. Although Wanli yuan was never published in its entirety during the Qing Dynasty, its popular scenes circulated widely on stage, resulting in a series of “performance editions.” Oriented toward stage performance, most of Li Yu’s plays include detailed costume instruction. By contrast, almost none of the extant editions of Wanli yuan includes any costume instruction. Despite this absence, the dialogues and stage directions of the extant performance editions show that different scenes …
The East India Company's 1835 Currency Reform, Ian Barrow
The East India Company's 1835 Currency Reform, Ian Barrow
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
This paper examines the East India Company’s 1835 currency reform. The measure created, for the first time, a unified currency within the Company’s Indian territories. Moreover, it stopped the longstanding practices of minting rupees in the Mughal Emperor’s name and solely in Persian, and instead introduced coins that featured the bust of the British King along with the Company’s name and the denomination written in English. Because coins are among the most evident ways states express their sense of self and power, the political effect of the reform was to underscore the decades-long process whereby the Company phased out Mughal …
Searching In The Dark - Han Learning And The Controversy Of 1799 Metropolitan Exam, Shiu On Chu
Searching In The Dark - Han Learning And The Controversy Of 1799 Metropolitan Exam, Shiu On Chu
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
This paper investigates the introduction of Han Learning (hanxue 漢學) in Qing civil examinations from an institutional perspective. Focusing on the controversy over the 1799 metropolitan examination, I argue that hanxue was resisted not only by the intellectual orthodoxy Cheng-Zhu learning, but also a concept of “proper advancement” (zhengtu 正途) from examination.
The 1799 metropolitan examination was often seen as a triumph of Han Learning because the chief examiners Zhu Gui (朱珪1731-1806) and Ruan Yuan (阮元1764-1849), who were famous patrons of Han scholarship, awarded degrees to a number of established Han scholars. Contemporaries attributed this high rate of …

A Different Approach On Gaining Practical Experience By Acting As An (Open) Innovator At Industrial Design Engineering, Lenny Van Onselen, Rianne C. Valkenburg
A Different Approach On Gaining Practical Experience By Acting As An (Open) Innovator At Industrial Design Engineering, Lenny Van Onselen, Rianne C. Valkenburg

At Industrial Design Engineering we aspire to provide contemporary education, both in the content of the program as well as the way in which we teach. We aim to facilitate our students to become responsible entrepreneurs of their own learning experience. At the start of the second year we challenge students to initiate, organise and execute individual, international research abroad for 3 months. Students have to choose a research topic, initiate contact with companies and set-up a project. This ambitious setup at first creates confusion and excitement among the students. However, facilitated by a step-by-step approach, students arrive to inspiring …
Navigating 18th Century Haiku: Translating The Poetry Of Yosa Buson, Allan Persinger
Navigating 18th Century Haiku: Translating The Poetry Of Yosa Buson, Allan Persinger
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
One of the difficulties in translating the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century Japanese poet and painter is negotiating the cultural differences between time and place, and still writing a translation that moves the audience within the limits of a haiku without doing any violence to the original text. My presentation is on the difficulties in translating a literary master from the Edo Era, Yosa Buson, especially when the poems contain embedded cultural references that the average American reader would not be familiar with as it is important to convey all of the information in a meaningful way and …
Turning Into A Shadow: Textual Management Of Sexual Violence In Taketori Monogatari, Otilia C. Milutin
Turning Into A Shadow: Textual Management Of Sexual Violence In Taketori Monogatari, Otilia C. Milutin
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
This paper is an integral part of an ongoing doctoral research which examines the varied textual representations of sexual violence in Heian and Kamakura monogatari. The first part of this dissertation, opening with the section presented here, addresses the three mid-ninth to mid-tenth century texts, Taketori, Utsuho and Ochikubo monogatari, whose representations or misrepresentations of sexual violence shaped Murasaki Shikibu’s own, in the eleventh century Genji monogatari.
The present study focuses on the Taketori text and its management of sexual violence; it traces the work’s textual lineage and underlines the consistent and sustained attempts to sanitize its content …

The Emergence Of Singlehood In The 20th And Early 21st Century: Hong Kong, Japan, And Taiwan, Joanna Kang
The Emergence Of Singlehood In The 20th And Early 21st Century: Hong Kong, Japan, And Taiwan, Joanna Kang
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
In East Asia, Confucian philosophy is the dominant value system, especially its prominent doctrine of filial piety. Filial piety is a requirement of life, and being filial is an essential approach to acquire public recognition as an individual with integrity. The most unfilial and unforgivable behavior is being unmarried or sonless.[1] However, there are more and more Asian women who are immersed in this social milieu yet are choosing to embrace their singlehood. The liberation of Asian women is one of the momentous outcomes of Western modernization. This is also a trans-cultural trend that spans nations, societies, and ideologies. What …
Human-Centered Design In Primary Schools: A Method To Develop Empathy With And Knowledge Of The Needs Of Elderly, Fenne Van Doorn, Remke Klapwijk
Human-Centered Design In Primary Schools: A Method To Develop Empathy With And Knowledge Of The Needs Of Elderly, Fenne Van Doorn, Remke Klapwijk
Learn X Design Conference Series
Human-Centered Design is of growing importance for professional designers and in the past two decades a series of techniques for designers to develop understanding of and empathy with a diversity of users has been developed within this field. In the second half of the 20th century, intended users were involved late in the design process, i.e. during the testing of products or prototypes. More recently, the user is involved in the early phases, when the direction is set. Users have rich local contextual knowledge and can work together with professional designers. Although these techniques are now entering mainstream design education …
Just What A Young Man Ought To Be: Politeness And Easy Manners As The Infallible Passport In Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Ethan Baumgartner
Just What A Young Man Ought To Be: Politeness And Easy Manners As The Infallible Passport In Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Ethan Baumgartner
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Among the misinterpreted ideas about the Regency era is the concept that women were more confined to etiquette than men. However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that this quality of being 'amiable' (likable, friendly, sensitive, even lovable) in the Regency culture was crucial to almost every person of any status or social position regardless of gender.
Toeing The Line: The Morality Of Dancing Pride And Prejudice And Regency Culture, Laura Gray
Toeing The Line: The Morality Of Dancing Pride And Prejudice And Regency Culture, Laura Gray
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Many of the social interactions in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are reliant upon decidedly ambiguous rules. The characters in the novel are constantly toeing a line between trying to express their feelings in a forthright manner and restricting themselves in order to maintain propriety. No one knows how to maintain a balance between these two actions, as a result, true feelings are hardly ever properly expressed, and their ability to form connections suffers. All of the characters endure this unfortunate phenomenon.

"Brighton Possesses All The Requisites ... For Either Amusement Or Dissipation": Frivolity In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Heather Weis
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice describes the city of Brighton cursorily, but it is a subject well worth investigating, as it is the setting for an important plot point and prospects of a trip to the city create such a furor among the inhabitants of the Bennet house.
"The Vicious Propensities": The Impact Of Gambling In Pride And Prejudice, Chelcie Hinders
"The Vicious Propensities": The Impact Of Gambling In Pride And Prejudice, Chelcie Hinders
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
The author discusses the impact of gambling in Pride and Prejudice by focusing on the gambling habits of Mr. Wickham. The author compares the character of Mr. Wickham to "Hazard," another gambler who is down "stripped...of his last half-crown," in Laurie and Whittle's poem Speculation; or A New Way of Saving a Thousand Pounds.
Rules Of Engagement: Mr. Darcy's Courtship In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Victoria Lane
Rules Of Engagement: Mr. Darcy's Courtship In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Victoria Lane
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) is most commonly regarded as a story of love. The narrative does indeed follow a marriage plot line, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet do fall in love and get married, but where within the narrative do we see any true sentiment revealed? The linear plot stretches from beginning to end; from their first meeting to their inevitable marriage. The space between must then be filled with the act of courting; each party's attempt at establishing a connection. However, the majority of the development of the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy is devoid of …
What Does It Mean To Be A “Materially Attuned” Practitioner?, Maiko Tsutsumi
What Does It Mean To Be A “Materially Attuned” Practitioner?, Maiko Tsutsumi
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper reports on research in progress that explores the potential role the materiality of things plays as a tool for the critical understanding of the human relationship with man-made objects. The paper argues that many designers habitually engage with production and consumption of meanings more through the materiality of things than words and symbols. It proposes a hypothesis that materiality is a key to understanding the context, knowledge and information the man-made objects may “embody”. Through the case study of an exhibition, the paper examines the ways in which this embodiment may be facilitated. Referring to Heidegger’s notion of …
