SUMMARY:The Bullet and the Ballot Box
DESCRIPTION:This is the first in the series of events hosted by the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies that will mark the 25th anniversary of the dismantling of the Communist system in Eastern and Central Europe.  Organized together with the India-China Institute\, The Bullet and the Ballot Box celebrates the new book with the same title by Aditya Adhikari\, recently published by Verso. \n\n\n\nThe Bullet and the Ballot Box will focus on the extraordinary case of Nepal\, where an anti-autocratic movement partially inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall led to the establishment of a multi-party system in 1990. However\, this was soon followed by a Maoist armed rebellion (1996-2006) that swept the entire countryside. In 2006\, the Maoists joined the political mainstream and multiparty democracy was restored. Following the historic election to the Constituent Assembly in 2008\, the Maoists emerged as the most powerful political force in the country\, and the monarchy was subsequently abolished. The discussion will focus on how Nepal’s Maoists reinterpreted Maoism and successfully translated it into political action at a time when liberal democracy dominated public discourse and communism had lost legitimacy. \n\n\n\nThe panel will be moderated by Elzbieta Matynia-Professor of Sociology and Liberal Studies at The New School and Director of TCDS. Participants will include: \n\n\n\n – Aditya Adhikari\, author of The Bullet and the Ballot Box: The Story of Nepal’s Maoist Revolution (2014) \n\n\n\n – Andrew Arato\,  Dorothy Hart Hirshon Professor of Political and Social Theory in the department of sociology at The New School \n\n\n\n – Tamrat Samuel\, former director of the Asia-Pacific Division of the UN Department of Political Affairs and former Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Nepal \n\n\n\n – Ashok Gurung\, ICI Senior Director and Professor of Practice\, Julian J. Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs.

SUMMARY:Social Justice and Dalits in South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Across the globe\, an estimated 260 million people are relegated to a lifetime of segregation\, exploitation\, and extreme forms of physical and psychological abuse\, all because of the caste into which they are born. In much of South Asia\, caste-based divisions dominate in housing\, marriage\, and general social interaction—divisions that are often reinforced through the threat of social ostracism\, economic boycotts\, and even physical violence. The effective eradication of caste-based discrimination remains a major human rights challenge of our time.Please join us on Tuesday\, October 7th for a roundtable discussion about social justice in South Asia and the world. \n\n\n\nLearn about the social and political obstacles faced by Dalit communities (formerly known as “untouchables”) in Nepal and IndiaEngage with scholars\, media producers and activists who have brought awareness to issues concerning Dalits through traditional and social media outletsDevelop tips and tools you can use for your own research and social activism initiatives\n\n\n\nSome of the questions this event hopes to explore include: \n\n\n\nWhat skills/lessons can Dalit and American students\, scholars and activists learn from each other? \n\n\n\nHow do experiences of marginalization and /or oppression compare in different countries? \n\n\n\nHow have social justice organizations use the law\, media and education as tools to raise awareness and create change? \n\n\n\nProminent academics\, media producers and social activists will participate in a roundtable discussion. Our guests will include: \n\n\n\nSmita Narula: currently a visiting Research Scholar at Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College and formerly a U.N. legal adviser to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food and Faculty Director at the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at NYU School of Law.

In both her scholarship and her practice\, Narula has focused on the rights to equality and non-discrimination; economic and social rights; and the impact of economic globalization and counter-terrorism policies on human rights. She has authored numerous reports and academic articles on these subjects\, and has helped formulate policy\, legal\, and community-led responses to these issues worldwide. \n\n\n\nSarita Pariyar: a graduate student of sociology at Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu\, where she also received her bachelor’s degree in journalism and English literature. She is an emerging social justice leader and serves as a board member of the Samata Foundation\, a respected think-tank that works for the rights and dignity of Dalits in Nepal. In addition\, she is involved with several activist groups in Nepal and regularly participates in various forums for social justice\, democracy\, and media within and outside of Nepal. \n\n\n\nPadam Sundas: a social worker from a Dalit community who has been working for the upliftment of the Dalit community and for Human Rights for over 40 years through intellectual writings and knowledge production.

SUMMARY:Crisis and Criticism: the Predicament of Global Modernity w/ Arif Dirlik
DESCRIPTION:‘Crisis and Criticism: the Predicament of Global Modernity’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA public talk by Arif Dirlik\n\n\n\nJoin ICI for an exciting talk by renowned sinologist and social theorist Arif Dirlik.\n\n\n\n“That we are living through a time of unprecedented crisis is widely acknowledged. What is less certain is whether this crisis is one of the crises endemic to the capitalist world system\, an outcome of systemic transformations at work that suggest an impending hegemonic shift (with the People’s Republic of China [PRC] as the up-and-coming claimant)\, or a terminal crisis that signals the collapse of life as we know it as unbridled capitalist development in its various competing versions runs up against the ecological limitations of the earth.”\n\n\n\nArif Dirlik was on the faculty at Duke University and more recently was the Knight Professor of Social Science at the University of Oregon. He has published extensively on the formation of the Chinese Communist Party\, the history of Chinese anarchism\, and post-colonial globalism. Some of his published works include: Revolution and History: Origins of Marxist Historiography in China\, 1919-1937\, University of California Press; Anarchism in the Chinese Revolution\, University of California Press; Postmodernism and China\, Duke University Press; and Global Modernity: Modernity in the Age of Global Capitalism\, Paradigm Press.

SUMMARY:Peronism and Orientalism: The Reconfiguration of Geopolitical Visions in the Early Cold War
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is based on personal writings\, memories\, articles and documents of Argentine diplomats who played a relevant role in foreign relations of Argentina with Asian countries and international organizations between 1945 and 1949. These testimonies reflect the cultural mindsets\, perceptions and ways of understanding East-West relations that shaped Argentina´s geopolitical visions of the postwar order\, at a time in which fundamental transformations in domestic politics were also taking place.Peronism partly opened the gates to a renovation of foreign policy\, reformulating its traditional orientations under the “Third Position” paradigm. However\, its worldview kept some of the traditional and conservative perceptions of ”Orient”. These will become evident in their overt support to Cold War Western anticommunism. \n\n\n\nFabián Bosoer is an Argentine political scientist and journalist. He is a professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Tres de Febrero and Latinamerican Social Sciences Faculty (FLACSO). He is a columnist\, editorial writer and Op-Ed editor of the newspaper Clarín\, in Buenos Aires. He has published the books Generals and Ambassadors: A History of the Parallel Diplomacies in Argentina (Vergara\, 2005)\, The Falkland Islands\, The Final Chapter: War and Diplomacy in Argentina (Capital Intellectual-Claves para todos\, 2007)\, Braden vs. Peron: The Hidden History (El Ateneo\, 2011) and Behind Peron: Life and Legend of Admiral Teisaire (Capital Intellectual\, 2013).

SUMMARY:Sacred Geography: Tibet and Himalaya Photographs Exhibit w/ David Zurick
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Geography: Tibet and Himalaya Photographs\n\n\n\nPhotographed by David ZurickSupported by Eugene Lang College and the Rubin Foundation \n\n\n\nMonday\, Mar. 31st to Wednesday\, Apr. 16th65 W. 11th St.\, 3rd Fl.\, Skybridge \n\n\n\nDavid Zurick’s Sacred Geography exhibition draws from his decades of experience as a geographer\, photographer\, and explorer of the Himalaya\, with twenty large black and white photographs of divine places undergoing change. The images featured in this exhibition are drawn from his new book Land of Pure Vision\, and cover the full geographical reach of Tibet and the Himalaya.  It features many iconic natural places\, such as the Source of the Ganges and sacred Mount Kailash\, as well as numerous cultural sites including pilgrimage routes and famed sacred architectures.  A visual evocation of holy places\, the Sacred Geography exhibition portrays a world of mystery\, magic\, and beauty\, where the human spirit is in synchronicity with natural forces while it also addresses the inevitability of landscape change. Modern intrusions threaten the visual character of some sacred sites\, but such transformations do not necessarily imperil their cultural role\, suggesting that change and dissolution—hallmarks of local religious belief—may apply equally to the human consciousness and to the landscape. \n\n\n\nBio: David Zurick left home in 1975 to journey on the Overland Trail from Europe to Asia and hasn’t looked back. He completed his PhD in Geography at the University of Hawaii and East-West Center\, Honolulu\, and has written extensively about Asia and the Pacific\, with a special focus on the Himalaya region. His writing and photography have won numerous awards\, including the National Outdoor Book Award in 2006 for Illustrated Atlas of the Himalaya and the “Mt Everest Award” in 2009 for his Himalaya studies. The subject of much of his writing and photography is the contemporary cultural landscape.

SUMMARY:“The Desert Eats Us” film screening w/ Kesang Tseten
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 19th 5-6:30pm\n\n\n\nA Screening of “The Desert Eats Us”\n\n\n\n\n(New Location) 66 W. 12th St.\, 4th Fl.\, Room 404\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Kesang Tseten\, award-winning filmmaker and writer from Nepal\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe earnings of Nepali labour sustain one out of every three households of Nepal’s 28 million; remittances prop up the country\, but at a high cost. The film provides a rare glimpse of the migrant workers’ experience in Qatar\, site of the 2022 World Cup\, where Nepalis outnumber natives several times over. While poverty compels them  to go\, it doesn’t justify their treatment. The struggle to endure long working hours\, the stultifying heat\, the burden of loans and high expectations back home is the lot of the migrant\, confronted by overwhelming upheaval and fractures. \n\n\n\nDiscussants:  – Adriana Young\, ICI Fellow  – Luna Ranjit\, Executive Director of Adhikaar \n\n\n\nSponsored by the India China Institute (ICI) at The New School\, Adhikaar\, and the Zolberg Center on Global Migration (formerly the International Center for Migration\, Ethnicity\, and Citizenship). \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but seating is limited and reservations are required by emailing your name and confirmation of attendance to indiachina@newschool.edu \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Desert Eats Us from ShunyataFilms on Vimeo.

SUMMARY:Poverty\, Inequality\, and Social Policy in China: Polarization or Harmony? w/ Qin Gao
DESCRIPTION:Poverty\, Inequality\, and Social Policy in China: Polarization or Harmony?\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic talk by Qin Gao\nAssociate Professor at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service\nVisiting Scholar at The India China Institute\n \n\nMonday\, March 17th 5pm – 6:30pm\nTheresa Lang Center\, 55 W. 13th St.\, 2nd Fl.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio: Qin Gao is an Associate Professor at Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service\, a Research Associate at Columbia University Population Center\, and currently a Visiting Scholar at the India China Institute at the New School University. Dr. Gao’s research examines poverty\, income inequality\, social welfare policies\, and family economic and subjective well-being in China and cross-nationally.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTalk Synopsis: China has had the world’s greatest poverty reduction during the past 30 years\, yet alongside this remarkable achievement are rapidly growing income inequality and many emerging welfare needs that threat its sustained development and political stability. Is China truly close to eliminating poverty? How unequal is the Chinese society? How have social policies in China evolving and to what extent are they addressing citizens’ welfare needs? When both market and social policy forces are considered\, is China more polarized or harmonized? In this talk\, Dr. Gao will examine these questions building on her extensive research on these topics using both empirical data and critical analysis. We anticipate a stimulating\, interdisciplinary discussion among economists\, political scientists\, sociologists\, anthropologists\, social policy scholars\, and anyone who is interested in China studies or cross-national comparisons.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nModerator: Mark Frazier\, Co-Academic Director\, India China Institute\n\n\n\nDiscussant: Dr. Carl Riskin\, Distinguished Professor of Economics\, CUNY Queens College\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Invisible Villages & Flying Monsters: Folktales About Place Among the Tibetans of Geza
DESCRIPTION:Invisible Villages & Flying Monsters:\nFolktales About Place Among the Tibetans of Geza\n \nPublic Talk by Eric Mortensen \nWednesday\, February 19\, 20145-6:30PM55 W. 13th St.\, 2nd Fl.\, Dorothy Hirshon Suite \nThe mountains of Geza are awash in old tales about invisible villages and wild people (Tibetan: nags myi rgod).  This presentation assesses the oral performances of nags myi rgod stories\, with a focus on the specific stories surrounding the flying monster called the myi rgod shung shung.  In the Tibetan communities of Geza Township in rGyalthang (Xianggelila County of Northwest Yunnan Province)\, such stories are tied to the cultural memory of local geography\, including the invisible village of Panlung\, which can be heard but not seen. \nSpecifically\, this project compares twenty six variant nags myi rgod stories and interview information about nags myi rgod collected and digitally recorded on four separate fieldwork trips to the Geza villages of Langdu\, Gönpa\, Geza (brgya rtsa)\, Nagara\, and gter ma rong village in neighboring Dongwang. Although nags myi rgod (& Chinese ye ren) stories are widespread throughout Tibet and the Himalayas\, several of the stories from Geza contain variant descriptions of an invisible village called Panlung. In the stories\, a mushroom gatherer or herder – who was often identified as a relative of the storyteller – would stop in wonder and hear the rushing water and agricultural sounds typical of village life\, but the village could (at least initially) not be seen. Nags myi rgod\, who live in the forests looking down on the bucolic invisible village\, mischievously invert human farming efforts and hunting practices and thereby make the village of Panlung uninhabitable\, even for those lucky enough to breakthrough the invisible meniscus and see or enter the valley with its perfect pasturage and farmland. The stories involve frightful encounters with nags myi rgod\, and longer tales recount how clever hunters or farmers trick the nags myi rgod\, and escape being killed (through being tickled to death\, squeezed\, or pulverized by a nags myi rgod’s armpit stone) or used as a mate. Some families in the region maintain the surname Panlung\, and consider themselves refugees from the invisible village. Panlung\, also known as Zayzong in Nagara (zay zong is near to Bala) and Natöeyong in Dongwang\, appears in many of the stories with the refugee element as the most common theme. \nThe centerpiece of the project is a comparative analysis of the performative function and cultural meaning of the invisible village in story. What does it mean for individuals to be refugees from an invisible dystopian village while facing current cultural\, economic\, and religious repression related to the land itself? In the context of this oral tradition\, why\, when\, by whom\, and to who are these stories of inversion and reversal told? [Degh 1958; Doniger 1998] To what degree are the performances of nags myi rgod tales subversive\, intended for cultural maintenance\, or simply fun for children? How can the variant tales inform upon the interrelated dynamics of place\, identity\, lament\, and memory? [Mueggler\, 2001].  As the myi rgod shung shung story is directly tied to features of the landscape of Geza\, how do the performances of these stories contribute to local identity and inform upon the imagining of inhabitation of wildspace in this rapidly changing region? \nEric Mortensen is currently an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Guilford College\, located in Greensboro\, NC. He complete his undergraduate studies at Carlton College and had the opportunity to study abroad in Beijing\, Nepal\, India\, and Bhutan. Upon graduating in 1993\, he spent his graduate career at Harvard\, where he studied languages\, anthropology\, religion\, folklore\, and history for ten years. During this time\, he grew to love teaching and Asia\, further fostering an academic interest in Tibetology. These two loves drew him to Guilford and its Religious Studies Department. Although he does not hold a degree in religious studies\, he has made religion his specialty through his focused research on Buddhist religion and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. Seating is limited – RSVP is required. RSVP Now. \n\n \nDownload Event Poster [PDF]

SUMMARY:The Great Hydraulic Transition: Modern Origins of Land and Rivers in South Asia w/ Prof. Rohan D'Souza
DESCRIPTION:Development\, Though and Policy Lecture Series Presents: \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n       The Great Hydraulic Transition: Modern Origins of Land and Rivers in South Asia \n\n\n\n Presented by: Rohan D’Souza\, Assistant Professor\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi\, India  \n\n\n\n Thursday\, December 12 \n\n\n\n66 West 12th Street\, Room 513 \n\n\n\n4:00 P.M. – 6:00 P.M. \n\n\n\nThis seminar is co-hosted by GPIA and The India China Institute \n\n\n\n      Please RSVP to development.newschool@gmail.com \n\n\n\nDownload event flyer here (PDF) \n\n\n\nAbstract: Most writings on lands and rivers in South Asia have disingenuously accepted the “politics of separations.” Land as property and river as resource\, thus\, are overwhelmingly recognized as distinct conceptual domains. Histories about land settlements\, rent extraction\, the burdens of revenue\, legal ownership\, or the commons have occupied discussions only as the political economy of the soil. Rivers\, on the other hand\, became a technical subject involving infrastructure and the biographies of engineering and control. Professor D’Souza will argue that this politics of separations acquired a defining force in the region only through the course of the long nineteenth century. An amphibian South Asia with its soil-water admixtures actually characterized its environmental and social worlds before being transformed into the reptilian terrain of colonial modernity. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Rohan D’Souza is Assistant Professor at the Centre for Studies in Science Policy and the author of Drowned and Dammed: Colonial Capitalism and Flood Control in Eastern India (1803-1946)\, Oxford University Press\, 2006. His edited books include The British Empire and the Natural World: Environmental Encounters in South Asia (Oxford University Press\, 2011) and Environment\, Technology and Development: Critical and Subversive Essays (Orient BlackSwan: Hyderabad\, 2012). His interests and research publications cover themes in environmental history\, environmental politics\, non-traditional security\, sustainable development and modern technology. \n\n\n\nChair: Manjari Mahajan\, Assistant Professor of International Affairs\, New School University \n\n\n\nDiscussants: Nikhil Anand\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Geography\, University of Minnesota and Fellow\, Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton\, and Vyjayanthi Rao\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, New School University

SUMMARY:Wronged by Empire: Colonial Memories and Victimhood in India’s and China’s Foreign Policy Today – Manjari Chatterjee Miller
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting talk by author Manjari Chatterjee Miller on her new book Wronged by Empire: Colonial Memories and Victimhood in India’s and China’s Foreign Policy Today. The event will be moderated by Mark Frazier\, Professor of Politics at NSSR and Academic Co-director of ICI. More details to follow. \n\n\n\nRSVP requested for event. RSVP now.\n\n\n\nWronged by Empire breaks new ground by blending this historical phenomenon\, colonialism\, with mixed methods—including archival research\, newspaper data mining\, and a new statistical method of content analysis—to explain the foreign policy choices of India and China: two countries that are continuously discussed but very rarely rigorously compared. By reference to their colonial past\, Manjari Chatterjee Miller explains their puzzling behavior today. For example\, she demonstrates why in important cases (such as India going nuclear in 1998 or China’s fraught relationship with Japan) their foreign policy behavior is not consistent with the security explanations that are dominant in international relations. \n\n\n\nMore broadly\, she argues that the transformative historical experience of a large category of actors—ex-colonies\, who have previously been neglected in the study of international relations—can be used as a method to categorize states in the international system. In the process Miller offers a more inclusive way to analyze states than do traditional theories of international relations\, which usually focus on the material power of states\, meaning inevitably that they mostly discuss the behavior of states that have power enough to matter—in effect Western states. \n\n\n\nManjari Chatterjee Miller is Assistant Professor of International Relations at Boston University.

SUMMARY:Returning to the History of 19th and Early 20th Century Immigration - Ranabir Samaddar
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce an upcoming public talk by Dr. Ranabir Samaddar\, Director of the Calcutta Research Group on “Returning to the History of 19th and Early 20th Century Immigration.” The event will be moderated by Professor Mark Frazier\, Professor of Politics at NSSR and Academic Co-Director of ICI. You can find an outline of Professor Samaddar’s talk below.\n\n\n\nRecent studies on aspects of welfare state and schemes suggest a different way of understanding modern governance in which the study of the nation is not at the centre of political understanding. Instead\, of significance in such studies is the inadequately explored history of governing a mobile\, unruly world of population flows. These works have given us a sense of the hidden histories of conflicts\, of desperate survivals\, and of networks new and old. Studies of hunger in the nineteenth century\, of itinerant movements and preaching\, transportations of coolies\, spread of famines\, shipping of children and adult girls\, trafficking in sex and labour\, and pieces of welfare legislation to cope with this great infamy tell us how actually we have arrived at our own time of subject formation. This is certainly different from conventional nation-centred histories. Working within this new strand of history-writing\, labour historians have tried to recognise the political significance of labour migration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Their works suggest a different way of writing the history of the nation-form in the last two centuries\, where the extra-nationalist narrative of mobile labour constitutes a different universe. \n\n\n\nThe late nineteenth and early twentieth century was the period of several changing modes of labour process – the slave\, the indentured\, the contract\, and finally the free. These modes historically never appeared as pure types\, because much of the availability of labour depended on labour’s mobility. In fact\, it was largely on the condition of making labour mobile that globalisation would proceed at that time. Transit labour then too\, as it does now\, occupied a crucial place in capitalist production. The late nineteenth and early twentieth century was a period of globalisation when migration controls were put in place. It was in that age that control of mobile bodies began constituting one of the most critical aspects of governance. The emergence of some of the different forms of labour subjectivities marking our world today can be traced back to that time. \n\n\n\n\nDiscussants will include: \nVictoria Hattam\, Professor of Politics at The New School for Social Research\nPaula Banerjee\, Associate Professor\, Dept. of South and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Calcutta\n \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for the event is requested.

It was a study that was massively introduced\, translated\, and commented on in the 1990s and accompanied by deeper research after this period. This school of thought\, an important current division of Western Marxism\, had become an essential resource to cope with the problems of China during its era of opening reforms. Today\, the resources of the Frankfurt School are significant to China in building modernity and constructing culture. \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:International Relations Theory: Views Beyond the West Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Julien J. Studley Fund and the India China Institute present: \n\n\n\nInternational Relations Theory: Views Beyond the West\n\n\n\nMonday 14 OctoberTheresa Lang Community and Student Center (55 W 13th St.) \n\n\n\nThis conference reflects a textbook project for International Relations (IR).  It seeks to amend two main problems in contemporary IR theorizing: \n\n\n\n(1) The widespread division of labor in IR whereby “the West”/“the Center” produces theories deemed universal and “non-Western”/“out-of-Center” scholars serve only as native informants when localities deviate from the status quo. \n\n\n\n(2) The lack of concepts\, debates\, and authors from the Global South that address their issues and challenges\, obligations\, and aspirations. \n\n\n\nThe conference/project does not seek particularism\, but allows for and gives legitimacy to different claims of universalism. We propose\, in short\, to voice other kinds of IR: that is\, how the Global South and the Global North co-make world politics into what it is today. \n\n\n\nStudents of IR from the Global North and Global South will benefit from this conference/project. Global North students will learn why the Global South experiences “the international” differently but also where some important commonalities may lie. Global South students will finally have a text that speaks to them for them\, with concepts and examples that are familiar\, and with their needs taken into consideration. Ultimately\, this conference/project will help all students develop lives and careers in a globalizing context. \n\n\n\nSpeakers and panelists include: \n\n\n\nJulien J. Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs Professor L.H.M. Ling; Payal Banerjee\, Smith College; Navnita Behera\, University of Delhi; Cristina Inoue\, University of Brasília; Nizar Messari\, Al Akhawayn University; Joao Noguira\, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro; Karen Smith\, University of Cape Town; and Arlene Tickner\, Universidad de los Andes. \n\n\n\nFor the full program click here.
