Screening of Amongst White Clouds
Directed by Ted Burger
American director Edward A. Burger takes us on his unforgettable journey into the hidden lives of China's forgotten Buddhist hermit tradition. "Amongst White Clouds" is a documentary look at the lives of students, ascetics and masters living in isolated hermitages dotting the peaks and valleys of China's Zhongnan Mountain range. Hiking remote mountain trails lost in these rare and beautiful landscapes, we meet the director's hermit master and other recluses.
These inspiring and warmhearted characters challenge us to join them in an exploration of our own suffering, and our own enlightenment, in this modern world.
Co-Sponsored by Religious Studies
*Monday, March 26, 4:30PM, Stiteler B21*, The Definite Internationalism of the Kyoto School: Changing Attitudes in the Contemporary Academy
Graham Parkes, University of Hawaii
This paper examines the kinds of nationalism espoused by several members of the Kyoto School — Nishida Kitaro-, Kuki Shu-zo-, and Nishitani Keiji — and shows them to be distinctly /internationalist/ as well as nationalist in orientation. In the case of Kuki, it criticizes the sloppiness of commentators who have branded his thinking as ultranationalist or even fascist. It concludes with suggesting the relevance of Kyoto School internationalism to the globalized world of today.
Humanities Colloquium
*Tuesday, March 27, 4:30PM, Logan Hall 402*, The Politics of Imperial Collecting in the Northern Song Period
Patricia Ebrey, University of Washington
Although art and antiquity collecting has a long history in China, only a few emperors collected on a grand scale, most notably Huizong in the Song, and Qianlong in the Qing. It is common to view Qianlong's collecting as tied to his political ambitions, but Huizong's as tied to his love of art. This talk will argue that even if Huizong was not nearly as inclined toward grandiosity and self-promotion as Qianlong, his collecting should still be seen as fundamentally political. This will be shown by examining the political value of antiquities, the political uses of displaying art and antiquities to select audiences, and the political messages of the catalogues.
FEW Lecturer, cosponsored by the Penn Women's Committee
*Tuesday, March 27, 7-10PM, Logan Hall 402*
Yamato Takeru
Okawara Takao (1994)
Giant Monsters and Frightening Creatures Film Series
*Thursday, March 29, 12:15PM, College Hall 200*, Mamluks on the Silk Road
Etienne de la Vaissiere, École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris
One of the results of the Arabic conquest of Central Asia at the beginning of the VIIIth c. was the inclusion of the Central Asian elites and armies in the Muslim empire. Their influence there was important, as the Muslim world was
twice conquered by them, first in 750 then in 811. But their specific social background is mainly known from Chinese sources as these Sogdian and Turkish armies were described in the Chinese histories. These elites and armies were
active in Northern China before the Arabic conquest, so that to understand their background we have to compare Arabic and Chinese texts. "Mamluks on the Silk Road" is the history of these social groups, known from the Korean
frontier up to Cairo, which gave birth to the Mamluk phenomenon.
Chinese Languages in Time and Space Series
*Thursday, March 29, 3:00PM, Silverman 240A*, Women Executives in Corporate Japan: Navigating the Tensions between Family and Fortune
Glenda Roberts, Professor, Waseda University, Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies
Visiting Fellow, Yale University, Department of Anthropology
The vast majority of married Japanese women quit their jobs by the time their first baby is born. But what of those who don't? How do they and their spouses manage two careers with baby? Is there a “life” after work is over and the baby is in bed? My interview research at two large firms in Tokyo, one a multinational US firm and the other, a Japanese multinational firm, gives us some clues to the lifestyles of 30 and 40-something married, well educated, female executives with children, and to an extent, the lives of their spouses as well. Data from male execs will also be mined for answers to these questions.
Issues in Contemporary East Asia Lecture Series
*Friday, March 30, 12:00PM, Logan Hall 402*, The Linguistic Position of Tai-Kadai
Laurent Sagart, Centre de Recherches Linguistiques sur l'Asie Orientale, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales
The origins of the Tai-speaking peoples has been the subject of much controversy on the part of linguists. In the first part of the 20th century the dominant conception was that the Tai languages were part of the Sino-Tibetan language family. In 1942, based on a new theory of what words can and cannot be borrowed, P.K. Benedict proposed that the Tai
languages are not related to Sino-Tibetan but to the Austronesian language family.
In this lecture, L. Sagart will argue that the Tai -Kadai languages are in fact a subbranch within Austronesian, rather than a separate but related family, as Benedict thought. It will be argued that Tai-Kadai speaking peoples
originated in a Neolithic, Austronesian-speaking group of East Taiwan some 4,000 years ago, and that they came back by boat to the mainland, perhaps in search of agricultural land. Once on the mainland they encountered local
populations and came into intimate contact with them, borrowing many words (including the vocabulary of rice cultivation), but maintaining a separate identity.
Chinese Languages in Time and Space Series
*Saturday, March 31, 9:00AM – 6:00PM, Logan Hall 17*
*Acting Modern: A Symposium for the Exhibition /Dramatic Impressions/ *
The Center for East Asian Studies and the Department of the History of Art are also co-sponsoring a symposium in conjunction with the exhibition, to be held *March 31, 2006*. The papers will engage issues concerned with Osaka print production and subjects; the Shin-hanga revival of woodblock printing in the early twentieth century; the 1923 Great Kantô earthquake; and Kabuki in the twentieth century; among others. There will also be a collector's and curators' forum on the exhibition. /Speakers will include/: C. Andrew Gerstle, SOAS, University of London; Sarah Thompson, MFA Boston; Kendall Brown, CSU Long Beach; Gennifer Weisenfeld, Duke; Shirley Luber, Philadelphia; and Yoshie Endô, Frank L. Chance, and Julie Davis from the University of Pennsylvania.

Okawara Takao (2000)
Giant Monsters and Frightening Creatures Film Series
*Wednesday, April 4, 4:30PM, Stiteler B26, *Workshop on the Digitized Japanese Maps in the UC Berkeley Collection**
Yuki Ishimatsu, head of Japanese collections at the University of California at Berkeley's East Asian Library
Berkeley's online collection includes over 1,100 maps and books, drawn from the collection of 2,298 maps assembled by Mitsui Takakata (penname: Soken) (1882-1950), the 9th head of the Shinmachi branch of the family. The most unusual part of the collection is the 697 woodblock-print maps dating from the Tokugawa period (1600-1867).
Especially rare is a selection of 252 maps of the city of Edo, 79 of Kyoto, 40 of Osaka, and 30 of other cities such as Kanazawa, Nagoya, Nagasaki, and Yokohama. Mitsui Soken also collected Meiji period (1868-1912) maps; many are printed on handmade paper, a considerable number from woodblocks. The maps in the digital collection were
selected by Yuki Ishimatsu, and scanned and put online by David Rumsey and Cartography Associates.
The Japanese Historical Maps at: http://www.davidrumsey.com/japan/ are ideal for teaching and research about Japan.
*Thursday, April 5, 7:00PM, Perelman Quadrangle (Hall of Flags Rain Location),* Tamagawa University Taiko Drummers
The performers are students of the College of Arts at Tamagawa University in Tokyo. The college of Arts strives to explore the connection of art to society and to increase appreciation of the arts. The College aims to train artistic professionals who will serve as bridges between people and the arts within society.
Companies of Tamagawa University performing arts students have performed worldwide since 1961, in locations as diverse as Mexico, Greece, London, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa, Russia, and the U.S. The group has a special affinity for Philadelphia, having performed here previously in 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Tamagawa University hopes that their 2007 tour will serve as a bridge for cultural exchange and strengthen the friendship between Philadelphia and Japan.

Singapore Speaker Series and Musical at Penn
My name is Haresh Tilani and on behalf of Club Singapore @ the University of Pennsylvania, I would like to cordially invite you to join us at DiaS'pura 2007, a day bringing together Singaporean students, artists and dignitaries from across the United States for 2 events addressing issues pertinent to Singaporeans in America. The day will comprise the following:
1. Singapore Speaker Series 2007

The day will begin with the inaugural Singapore Speaker Series, featuring notable Singaporeans such as Singapore's Ambassador to the United States, Professor Chan Heng Chee, political activist Francis Seow, renowned filmmakers Colin Goh, Djinn, Woo Yen Yen and Li-Anne Huang, and photographers Yian Huang and Jing.
How has social expression in Singapore changed with the advent of New Media? Why is it that an increasing number of young Singaporean professionals have been willing to pursue alternative careers in the arts? What is Singapore's role within the global economy, and what does this mean for the Singaporean Diaspora? The Speaker Series will seek to address these questions and contemporary issues to Singapore's political, business and cultural scenes.
2. Club Singapore Musical 2007
*Saturday, 24th March 2007, 730pm - 10pm*
In the evening, Club Singapore will proudly host its first-ever original Singaporean musical production written and directed by Penn's very own dynamic duo - the Yap brothers, Joshua and Caleb. Featuring a full cast and musical ensemble of Penn Singaporeans as well as a multitude of guest stars from Penn's diverse student population, this will represent a vehicle of global talent, with a pair of prodigious Singaporeans in the driver's seat.
The Venue:
The event will be held at the University of Pennsylvania, which is situated in the heart of the historic city of Philadelphia - a major commercial, educational and cultural center for the United States. Penn is also home to the Wharton School, the top business school in the world, and hosts some of the brightest students in the Ivy League and the world.
Accommodation:
In line with the primary aim of this event to bring together Singaporeans across the US, the Singaporean students here at Penn would like to take this a step further by offering to host any guests that need accommodation.

AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: TAIWAN AND ITS CONTEXTS
APRIL 26 - 28, 2007
Henry R. Luce Hall, 34 Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven, CT
Co-sponsored by the Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University; the Department of Foreign Languages at National Tsinghua University in Taiwan; and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University
As the title of this conference indicates, it is our attempt to study Taiwan in its wide-ranging contexts --especially regarding Taiwan's politics, economics, society, history and memories, cultural and counter-culture, literature and the arts, and intellectual dynamics. It is our hope that this conference will shed new light on the current situations in Taiwan, as well as Taiwan's cultural legacy in view of the Greater China region.
Needless to say, the question of cultural communication has become increasingly important in global contexts, and translating Taiwan inevitably involves problems of "difference" and "similarity." Thus, we also wish to combine discussions of traditional Chinese culture with those of contemporary Taiwanese phenomena, in an attempt to find new ways of reading Taiwan as we enlarge our perspectives. It is for this reason that we have invited participants from a wide variety of disciplines, and from a wide range of geographical locations.
DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR THIS CONFERENCE IS 04/19/07.
To REGISTER, please contact eastasian.studies@yale.edu and include your name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and the specific conference sessions you plan to attend.
