Few U.S. University Reference Books Use Korean Name for Dokdo
Some 93 percent of reference books in the libraries of major U.S. universities do not use the Korean name for the Dokdo islets, a group of young patriotic activists said Thursday.
"Some 80 to 85 percent of all foreign reference books at the libraries of 20 major universities in Korea, including Seoul National, Yonsei and Korea universities, use the Japanese name to refer to Dokdo," said Koh Chang-keun at Dokdo Network. "We need to ask libraries in Korea and abroad, as well as the publishers to change the name to Dokdo."

The Study of Jainism: A Symposium in Honor of Prof. Padmanabh Jaini's 90th Birthday (UC Berkeley)
Saturday, October 26, 2013, 9 am - 5 pm
The Study of Jainism: A Symposium in Honor of Prof. Padmanabh Jaini's 90th Birthday
220 Stephens Hall
The symposium brings together a select group of leading experts of Jainism from Europe and the US who work in different arenas of Jain Studies and represent different disciplines, including textual studies, anthropology, history, and art history. They will present papers on different aspects of Jainism drawing upon their current research. In this way the current state of Jain Studies will be brought to bear in its disciplinary breadth. This is to allow for discussions on past accomplishments and also the challenges and the new directions that may be envisaged for this important and still rather neglected field of study.
The symposium is organized in honor of Prof. Padmanabh Jaini who has pioneered the study of Jainism in the English speaking world. His The Jaina Path of Purification (first published in 1979) has brought the study and knowledge of Jainism to a broader English speaking public, and his numerous further publications — such as his book Gender and Salvation: Jaina Debates on the Spiritual Liberation of Women (1991) and his Collected papers on Jaina Studies (2000) — have made him one of the leading scholar in this field. Even as he is about to become a nonagenarian he continues to work and publish at the forefront of Jain Studies, and will also present himself.
Participants:
Prof. Christopher Chapple, Indic and Comparative Theology at Loyola Marymount University
Prof. John Cort, Director of Denison University Department of Religion
Prof. Paul Dundas, Reader in Sanskrit at the University of Edinburgh
Dr. Peter Flügel, Chair of the Centre for Jaina Studies at SOAS, University of London
Prof. Phyllis Granoff, Religious Studies - Yale University
Dr. Shalin Jain, S.G.T.B. Khalsa College, University of Delhi
Prof. Padmanabh Jaini, Department of South & Southeast Asian Studies, UC Berkeley
Prof. Robert Goldman, Department of South & Southeast Asian Studies, UC Berkeley
Prof. Olle Qvarnström, Centre for Theology and Religious Studies, Lund University
Prof. Alexander von Rospatt, Department of South & Southeast Asian Studies, UC Berkeley

Hebdomadario de la Política Taiwanesa
Estimad@s amig@s,
Las relaciones entre China continental y Taiwán viven desde 2008 un proceso de acelerados cambios que han puesto fin a décadas de confrontación.
Actualmente nos acercamos a un nuevo punto de inflexión con el inicio de una nueva fase marcada por la emergencia de las cuestiones de índole más política en las negociaciones bilaterales.
Las relaciones entre Beijing y Taipei son de gran importancia en el plano bilateral, pero también regional y mundial en un contexto de gran fluidez de las relaciones asiáticas e internacionales.
El Observatorio de la Política China sigue de cerca este proceso a través del Hebdomadario de la Política Taiwanesa que puedes consultar en www.politica-china.org.
Cordialmente

OBITUARY
It is with
great sadness, I write to inform you that on October 23, 2013
Dr. Donald F. McCallum passed away peacefully at his home after battling
sudden metastatic prostate cancer. Donald McCallum had a long
distinguished career as a scholar of Japanese art history, over seven
years of which were spent doing research and fieldwork in Japan. Last June
he retired from his position as Professor in the Department of Art History
at University of California, Los Angeles. He was a beloved teacher known
for his serious commitment to education alongside a sharp sense of humor.
He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on May 23, 1939. He
earned his Ph.D. at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University and his
A.B. at University of California, Berkeley.
He began teaching at UCLA in 1969 and has served as Chair of the
Department of Art History at UCLA, Interim Director for the UCLA Center for
Japanese Studies, Director of the University of California Tokyo Study
Center, Toyota Visiting Professor at the University of Michigan, Franklin
D. Murphy Lecturer at the University of Kansas, and Hooker Distinguished
Visiting Professor at McMaster University. His numerous awards include
fellowships from the International Research Center for Japanese Studies in
Kyoto, Metropolitan Center for Far Eastern Art, Japanese Society for the
Promotion of Science, Korean Cultural Service, Japan Foundation, and the
John D. Rockefeller III Fund.
Dr. McCallum's research on Japanese art had a wide breadth, but his main
area was Japanese Buddhist art in which he published three books: Hakuho
Sculpture published by University of Washington Press (2012), The Four
Great Temples: Buddhist Archaeology, Architecture, and Icons of
Seventh-Century Japan by University of Hawai'i Press (2009), and Zenkoji
and Its Icon: A Study in Medieval Japanese Religious Art by Princeton
University Press (1994). His interests expanded to Korean art, modern
Japanese art and even tattoos, as exemplified in his articles "Korean
Influence on Early Japanese Buddhist Sculpture," in Korean Culture (1982),
"Three Taisho Artists: Yorozu Tetsugoro, Koide Narashige, and Kishida
Ryusei," in Paris in Japan: The Japanese Encounter with European Painting
(1987), and "Historical and Cultural Dimensions of the Tattoo in Japan," in
Marks of Civilization: Artistic Transformations of the Human Body (1988).
In addition to his books, his published articles and book reviews that
number over seventy will continue to have a significant impact on the field
for years to come.
As a dedicated teacher at UCLA for forty-four years, Dr. McCallum shared
his passion and knowledge with thousands of students and patiently served
as dissertation advisor to eleven graduate students. His rigorous training
style and strong, personal commitment toward his students, even after they
started their own professional careers, was instrumental towards enabling
some to become leaders in the field of Japanese art history. Among them are
tenured faculty members at Yale University, Portland State University,
University of Kansas, University of Regina, Taiwan National Central
University, California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, and
University of Maryland. Aside from helping his own graduate students,
Dr.McCallum enthusiastically and generously supported nearly the entire
next generation of younger scholars in Japanese art history with great
encouragement and by writing thoroughly researched letters of support for
tenure and promotion.
Dr. McCallum will be dearly missed by many both in and outside of
academia. He is survived by his wife Toshiko, his son Kenneth,
daughter-in-law Takayo, daughter Sumako, son-in-law James Turner and
grandchildren Ella Sachiko and Jackson James Turner. Anyone who has ever
talked with him or heard him lecture knows how devoted he was to his family
and was more than likely treated to many humorous tales about his cherished
grandchildren.
At present the family is in the process of making arrangements for a
memorial service. More information on the service as well as information
for anyone who wishes to make a memorial gift will follow.
Condolences may be sent to:

Jan Nattier: "Daoist Vocabulary in Early Chinese Buddhist Translations
Daoist Vocabulary in Early Chinese Buddhist Translations? A Reappraisal
Jan Nattier, Hua Hin, Thailand
It is commonly held that when Buddhism was first transmitted to China, this foreign religion was understood — or rather, misunderstood — through a Daoist conceptual lens. The first Buddhist translators, so we are told, made free use of Daoist terminology, creating confusion thaat was only cleared up centuries later, when Kumārajīva and his colleagues began to eliminate such terms from Buddhist discourse. According to this scenario, Chinese Buddhist translations followed a clear trajectory of "progress," with the inappropriate choices made by early translators being rectified in the more careful work of their successors. This paper examines some of the indigenous religious terminology used during the first two centuries of Buddhist translation activity in China. As it hopes to show, the actual pattern of usage is much more complicated — and more interesting — than the simplistic picture of the early appropriation, and subsequent abandonment, of "Daoist" religious terms.
Jan Nattier's publications include Once Upon a Future Time: Studies in a Buddhist Prophecy of Decline (on Buddhist predictions of the decline and disappearance of Buddhism), A Few Good Men: The Bodhisattva Path according to the Inquiry of Ugra (on early Mahāyāna Buddhism), and A Guide to the Earliest Chinese Buddhist Translations: Texts from the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms Periods, as well as a number of articles on early Mahāyāna Buddhism, Chinese Buddhist translations, and Buddhism in Central Asia. She is now living and working in Hua Hin, Thailand, where she is engaged in the study of 2nd and 3rd century Chinese Buddhist translations.

A los asistentes al ciclo de conferencias sobre la relación bilateral China México, les informamos lo siguiente relativo al transporte dentro de la Ciudad Universitaria:
ante la densidad demográfica y el incremento del número de automóviles en la Ciudad Universitaria se ha puesto en marcha un programa que estimulará una nueva cultura vial.
Los vehículos que antes se estacionaban en el circuito, ahora podrán ubicarse de manera gratuita y segura en los estacionamientos del estadio, desde donde se podrá acceder tanto a las rutas de transporte interno como a los diferentes medios externos de transporte público y al Programa Bicipuma.
Para los visitantes que no cuentan con credencial de la UNAM y que necesiten venir a hacer trámites o asistir a algún evento en particular, se tiene previsto un espacio en el mismo Estadio Olímpico, desde donde también podrán tener acceso a las rutas de transporte interno.
Con esta iniciativa el circuito se liberará de automóviles estacionados y se ha habilitado una ruta de autobuses escolares que operan en un carril delimitado con el distintivo de */Pumabús/*. Esta ruta ( 7 oro ) funciona con paradas fijas, partiendo de los estacionamientos del Estadio Olímpico y con parada en la Facultad de Economía, tendrá una frecuencia de menos de cinco minutos en cada una de sus corridas.

Karbi Anglong: An Insight from North East India
The talk of Dr. Dattaray would focus on oral traditions
from Karbi Anglong, a hill ‘tribe’ from North East India. By focusing on songs
and ancient rituals related to food symbols, the discussion would transcend
political and linguistic boundaries. The emphasis would be on the power of
storytelling which tells us to listen, learn, imagine and empathize. Songs
narrate a story of survival – physical, cultural, political and social. The
spontaneity and feeling in an oral communication invoke an inherited wisdom
through passion, emotion, and character. Human dignity and existence are
conveyed through sharing of stories and not through obtuse academic jargon. The
talk would open windows to Karbi Anglong through visual images, stories and
songs from the ancient tradition.
This would be an interactive session through stories,
anecdotes and visual images from India’s North East Frontier. It will help us
all remember that “birds do not sing because they have answers, birds sing
because they have songs.”
Debashree Dattaray is Assistant Professor in Comparative
Literature at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. She is currently a Fulbright
Visiting Faculty with the Department of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley for Fall
2013. In 2012, she was awarded an Erasmus Mundus Europe Asia Fellowship for
Academic Staff at the University of Amsterdam. In 2007-08, she was a Fulbright
Doctoral and Professional Research Fellow at the State University of New York,
Stony Brook. Her areas of interest and publication are Indigenous Studies,
Gender, Narrative, Oratures and Comparative Indian Literature Methodology.
Those who remember
a lovely presentation given not so long ago at SRH by Erik Aasland
(öse (the trickster) in a Kazakh
Folktale to Represent 'The New Kazakh'>) should be especially pleased to
learn about this publication of our dear guest from India:
The event will take place at SRH on Sunday, October 27,
at 1-3pm.

Buddhism and Ireland
Dear colleagues,
Some of you may be interested in the following title which I have just published with Equinox:
Laurence Cox, Buddhism and Ireland: from the Celts to the counter-culture and beyond
Sheffield, UK: Equinox, 2013
ISBN 9781908049292 (hardback) / 9781908049308 (paperback)
426pp, 35 illustrations
Price $99.95 / $35; 25% discount available for web orders via https://www.equinoxpub.com/equinox/books/showbook.asp?bkid=529 until the end of 2013 (use the code COX when ordering).
Ireland and Buddhism have a long history. Shaped by colonialism, contested borders, religious wars, empire and massive diasporas, Irish people have encountered Asian Buddhism in many ways over fourteen centuries. From the thrill of travellers’ tales in far-off lands to a religious alternative to Christianity, from the potential of anti-colonial solidarity to fears of 'going native', and from recent immigration to the secular spread of Buddhist meditation, Buddhism has meant many different things to people in Ireland.
Knowledge of Buddhist Asia reached Ireland by the seventh century, with the first personal contact in the fourteenth - a tale remembered for five hundred years. The first Irish Buddhists appeared in the political and cultural crisis of the nineteenth century, in Dublin and the rural West, but also in Burma and Japan. Over the next hundred years, Buddhism competed with esoteric movements to become the alternative to mainstream religion. Since the 1960s, Buddhism has exploded to become Ireland’s third-largest religion.
Buddhism and Ireland is the first history of its subject, a rich and exciting story of extraordinary individuals and the journey of ideas across Europe and Asia.

Afterword
Reviews
"This is a truly fascinating book on how Buddhism arrived and was localised in Ireland. It shows how Ireland was never isolated from a global circuit of knowledge on Buddhism and Asia mediated by empire building, nationalism, colonialism, religion and ethnicity.”
Cristina Rocha, University of Western Sydney
“With a cast of Buddhist characters you couldn’t invent, this insightful and clearly written account of the extraordinary relationship between Buddhism and Ireland deftly challenges conventional histories of Western Buddhism.”
Brian Bocking, University College Cork
“Laurence Cox reveals why the practice of Buddhism may flourish in Ireland - and why Irish Buddhists have a longer history than we might suppose. Focus and perspicuity inform this admirable work on conversion and seeking.”
Joseph Lennon, Villanova University, USA
