Sound representation is a useful tool to investigate multiple layers of meaning within a text, and hanjōki are a perfect example of cultural critique applied to urban environments. Through comparison with the genre's archetype, Terakado Seiken's Edo hanjōki (An account of the prosperity of Edo; 1832–1836), I emphasize auditory elements that reveal the authors' attitudes toward urban life in the 1870s and the complex intertextual system that is an essential feature of the hanjōki corpus. This focus on previously neglected issues encourages alternative understandings of established concepts of disruption and continuity in the modernization process.摘要：:本稿では幕末・明治初期の繁昌記に見られる聴覚的描写に焦点を当て、近代移行期の都市に対する四人の作家の観点を考察する。とりわけ江戸・東京の都市空間の音が非常に大きな役割を果す明治７年の繁昌記を分析の対象とし、「近代化」、「都市変貌」の概念を問う。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43534408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, the book’s many strengths, including short chapters with well-organized, clear, and engaging discussion, make it perfect for use in undergraduate classes. Chapters can easily be assigned independently if needed, since each chapter begins with a framing discussion and ends with a restatement of the main claims and supporting evidence, with further elaboration on the significance of Bullock’s research. In sum, this book provides a wonderfully readable and trenchant examination of postwar education, youth identity, and gender politics in the immediate postwar period.

We examine Ambon Island, where a resilient Chinese community was documented in detailed seventeenth-century censuses that allow us to peer into individual households. These records show that slave ownership was ubiquitous, with some Chinese residents owning dozens of enslaved people. These slaveholders included Chinese women, such as the Widow Tsieko, who were former slaves themselves. Although the census records provide important insights including striking examples of female mobility, they illuminate only one part of a wider spectrum of lived experience, hiding what everyday life was like for many Chinese-owned slaves. Eighteenth-century legal records reveal the routinized violence that was so intertwined with the lives of enslaved people in Chinese households under Dutch rule.摘要:十七世紀的荷屬安汶島上的華人,普遍擁有奴隸:278 華人居民就擁有 600 名奴隸,其中最特別的,是本身即是奴隸出身的寡婦 Tsieko。華人社群男女比例極度不平衡,加上荷蘭的遺產法律,使得少數女性擁有特別的上升流動管道,但是這樣的流動性是來自於殖民社會多元法律習俗的斡旋,與奴隸勞動的制度性暴力仍同時並存。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47486941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were only around ten publications about eco-Buddhism prior to 1970, but more than two hundred were published during the decade 1990–2000 alone.1 Some scholars assert that Buddhism is inherently environmental.2 This idea is challenged by Johan Elverskog based on his selection and interpretation of passages from sacred texts and numerous other sources cited in his forty-eight pages of notes. Elverskog marshals his argument in meticulous detail in ten main chapters foreshadowed by a preface and an introduction. Elverskog writes that Buddhism is the only religion that spread throughout Asia (p. 1). He attempts an ambitious survey of the entire environmental history of Asia, with exclusive attention to Buddhism. His temporal focus is the premodern period (500 BCE–1500 CE). He argues that during this time, Buddhism became a major force in the commodity frontier, responsible for resource extraction, deforestation, agricultural expansion (especially","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46242098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What he has written in the book’s main chapters does not substantiate this statement. While it is totally justified and critical to give rites and symbols their deserved position in the Qing dynasty—this study is thus valuable in bringing these elements to the fore—overestimating or idealizing their role does not serve the purpose of explicating the Manchu’s state-building process. Keliher’s book skips the violent dimensions involved in building and legitimizing Qing rule in China and downplays “external constraints and punishments” (p. 193). For instance, the book does not mention at all the hair-shaving orders and their bloody fallout. Since the dawn of civilization, rituals and symbolism have played an important role in state building in nearly all societies. However, rituals usually went hand-in-hand with other measures. Without the support of political forces, no rites alone, no matter how sophisticatedly designed and attentively displayed they were, could single-handedly uphold the authority of a sovereign. When he chides earlier scholarship for overlooking rituals and symbols, Keliher exhorts that “the Qing political system as a whole needs to come into focus, not just a single aspect divorced from the totality of its operations” (p. 8). He should have applied this awareness in his own work.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43016144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
