AEPO-ARTIS welcomes the Slovenian draft on the implementation of the Copyright Directive but warns for the introduction of a new discrimination!
Yet another detailed study calls for the introduction of a right to equitable remuneration
Tweets by aepoartis
With start of the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union this month, and committing to 'bring culture to the fore', AEPO-ARTIS wrote an open letter to the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson with the goal to draw attention to the importance of culture and need to improve performer's rights.
Dear Prime Minister of Sweden,
Dear Mr. Kristersson,
This month Sweden officially took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. And so, for the next six months Sweden will be leading the rest of the European Union in taking the most important decisions that need to be taken. We are grateful for the ambitious program that you have presented to the Parliament in Strasbourg. We are confident that Sweden will achieve its goals.
With Sweden comes an end to an ambitious Trio Programme set up with France and the Czech Republic. We understand that under the current circumstances it is not possible to achieve all the objectives of the original programme. Our Union is confronted with unforeseen challenges in the field of peace and energy that deserve to be prioritised.
Nevertheless, we hope that culture will be kept at the core of Presidency's activities. Together with France and the Czech Republic, Sweden committed to bring culture to the fore. This by "implementing the new work plan for culture, focussing in particular on the importance of culture for the economy, artistic freedom and the effects of digitalisation on culture." Hereby underlining "the importance of securing a fair remuneration for creators and a sustainable environment for independent media."
AEPO-ARTIS is a non-profit making organisation that represents 37 European performers' collective management organisations from 27 different countries, including the Swedish organisations SAMI and Fackförbundet för Scen &Film. The number of performers, from the audio and audiovisual sector, represented by our 37 member organisations can be estimated at 650.000.
From the start of the trio programme, AEPO-ARTIS has welcomed its pursuit of such fair remuneration within an increasingly digitising society. And we are very pleased that Sweden has the task to carry the relay baton over the finish line.
We have confidence in Sweden because it is the biggest, if not only, net-exporter of music in the EU. And that is not only due to strong pop-acts such as ABBA, Roxette, Robyn and the Army of Lovers. With bands like Refused, Millencolin, The Hives and Abhinanda, Sweden put Europe on the worldwide map of punk-rock and hardcore. With acts like Greekazo and 1.Cuz it's doing the same for the rap-community. Sweden has history of supporting its musicians to cross borders, territorially and artistically.
And it has done the same for actors. From Ingrid Bergman, Inger Nilsson and Max von Sydow to Alexander Skarsgård, Michael Nyqvist and Rebecca Ferguson. Every generation has its actors who found their way onto the world stage. But those who stay in Sweden also find their way into living rooms throughout Europe. Nordic noir and Swedish Gloom have become part of a common European cultural heritage.
New digital tools have exponentially increased the cross-border possibilities, so that we now also have direct digital access to Clark and Snabba Cash, to Hannes and Seinabo Sey. However, for performers the digital road that they are taken on to is often a one-way street that allows little traffic going back to the artists themselves.
Many studies and market researches have shown that the criticism raised by performers of all genres on the proper functioning of the online digital market on which they increasingly depend, is justified. For musicians, actors and other performers, the digital environment of on-demand and streaming is still the place where they are least protected.
The Copyright directive acknowledged the precarious situation of performers and authors and required Member States to adapt and supplement their national copyright legislation to make it future proof and guarantee that right holders count on a high level of protection when facing the new actors and new business models that resulted from recent technological developments.
It was also acknowledged by the European Parliament. In its October 2021 resolution on the situation of artists, it pleaded for its immediate implementation of this directive by all Member States, in particular to 'guarantee fair, appropriate and proportionate remuneration for authors and performers.' A call they very recently repeated in the December 2022 resolution on the Implementation of the New European Agenda for Culture and the EU Strategy for International Cultural Relations.
The directive has been implemented in very different ways, with certain Member States making explicit choices in favour of performers and authors and others limiting themselves to a minimal implementation.
Sweden implemented the directive without providing performers and authors with any supplementary mechanism enabling them to make that fair remuneration for online exploitations effective. We know that this was not a choice against performers. It was not a choice to conclude the debate on fair remuneration. On the contrary, we notice that the debate is continuing in Sweden.
We would therefore like to encourage you to take this debate to Brussels and keep it on the agenda for all Member States.
Finally, we hope that during your presidency the EU can work on eliminating the last existing discriminations between actors and musicians. Firstly, by extending the term of protection for audiovisual performances to 70 years in the context of the revision of Directive 2011/77. There is no explanation whatsoever why audiovisual performances are still protected for only 50 years, while musical performances can count on 70 years. Secondly, we hope that Sweden can achieve a breakthrough in the ratification of the Beijing treaty by the European Union.
Performers are the face of European culture. Help them to a digital future with the same dedication and passion they make to our culture!
On behalf of every performer whose work you have ever appreciated.
Most respectfully,
Ioan Kaes
Genal-Secretary

Clarifying his status
By Domenico Bettinelli, Jr. ( articles - email ) | Oct 10, 2003
Shop: Roman Catholic "RC" Brand Original White Logo Collection Classic Long Sleeve Tee | Multiple colors and sizes available!
Diogenes has been commenting on the case of the murder of a young man on Cape Cod and the connection with two priests. The status of one of the priests, Father Donald Turlick, is unclear and news reports have not helped. So I called the Diocese of Bridgeport and talked to its spokesman.
The spokesman told me that Turlick was ordained for Bridgeport in 1961 and in the late 1970s the bishop gave him permission to live and work outside the diocese and pursue his education and counseling work. He has had no assignment from the diocese since the late 1970s. There have been no complaints about him and he remains a priest in good standing with the diocese. It is also their understanding that he has not been active as a priest with a public ministry. And he had no good idea why Turlick was not listed in Kennedy's comrepehensive 2002 Catholic Directory and thought it might have been a clerical error.
This brings up another question regarding priests who serve outside their home diocese, especially in jobs that have nothing to do with the Catholic priesthood. Who oversees people like Turlick? Who ensures he is living and working and teaching according to the Catholic faith? In a time of a priest shortage, why is a priest working as a therapist outside his home diocese? Did Turlick have to check in with his home diocese more than two decades later?
Someone may reply that if you remove all priests from any job except parish ministry you may lose a Catholic influence in that area. Of course, that would be excessive clericalism. Why must a priest provide that Catholic influence? Where are the laypeople that Vatican II said should evangelize the secular world? Just a thought.

Top 10 reasons why the #MVWRaceSeries is the best weeknight series in the U.S.
** 2017 MVW Race Series Flyer **
1. The #MVWRaceSeries is one of the oldest series in the U.S. Dating back to 1969, the Wheelmen have been throwing down with a weeknight racing series.
2. We keep entry fees low. Want to race your bike? 8 dollars. Are you new or did you forget your wallet? We'll cover your entry.
3. Most weeknight series are held at the same location every week (yawn). Our series features Time Trials, Road Races, Criteriums, and even a mini-omnium held at the Toledo Speedway.
4. Switching it up. Not only does the series offer different road disciplines, but up to 10 different venues per season.
5. Criterium practice. We have a closed Criterium course that has 10 turns per lap! That is 400 turns in 90 minutes!
6. #MVWRaceSeries has three skill levels of racing. Beginner or expert, we have a race for you.
7. The wheelmen are proud to have Rolf Dietrich, of Rolf Prima Wheels fame, as a long time member. In the early 90's, Rolf used the Wheelmen Racing Series as a proving ground for his paired spoke technology.
8. Over the last couple years, we have featured an Ohio vs. Michigan race, allowing racers from different teams, but the same state to work together for bragging rights.
9. Volunteers. To keep entry fees down, club members volunteer to work races, and the designated race director can offer primes and other twists to keep it interesting!
10. The Club Championship is crowned by taking a rider's best 12 races across the 20 race series. The award is engraved with the champion's name and stays with the current club Champ until the next season. It's like the Stanley Cup of bike racing. Not only do we crown a Club Champion, but we also recognize a Women's Champion, Sprint Champion, Time Trial Champion, and Most Improved Rider. Awards are presented at the annual club banquet at the Maumee Bay Brewing Company.

Q: How to write exact 1MB array in C? I want to initialize an array of size 1MB. So my goal is finally write that 1MB to a file.
I am curious every time i use this formula it is giving less than 1mb.
int len = (1048576)/sizeof(int);
data = (int *) malloc(len);

What is correct way ?
Thank you

Edit - As per the comments I have changed the code .
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mpi.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int *data;
    int bytes = (1024*1024);
    data = (int *) malloc(bytes);
    for(int i=0;i<bytes;i++){
     data[i] = (int)rand();
     printf("%d",data[i]);
    }
    return 0;

}

After compiling it and I tried dumping the data like below
 mpicc -o a mpiFileSize.c

 ./a > dump.dat

Now I see the file size of dump.dat. Why its 2.5MB ?

A: Try this
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mpi.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char *data;
int bytes = (1024*1024);
data = (char *) malloc(bytes);
for(int i=0;i<bytes;i++){
 data[i] = (char) rand();
 printf("%c",data[i]);
}
return 0;

}

You shoul use character instead of integer.

A: Although it was already properly answered.
Just a plus to the answer, if one wants to choose the amount of MBs to allocate would make something like:
#include <malloc.h>

#define Mebabyte (1024 * 1024)

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    void* data = malloc(2 * Megabyte);

    // Do your work here...

    free(data);
    return 0;
}

If you wanted to allocate more than 2 MBs just change the 2.
As already stated before do not use integers as it's going to have more than 1 byte of size. Instead use char or unsigned char. And as stated by another post, there's no need to cast the result of malloc since void* can be turned to a pointer to any type (and in fact it's done implicitly by the compiler).
see: Why does this code segfault on 64-bit architecture but work fine on 32-bit?

Moving Caravans is . . . .
Moving and relocating caravans is what I do. My name is Anthony and I really enjoy towing caravans around Australia so that owners have peace of mind; knowing their pride and joy will arrive in the same condition I was handed the keys; driven by a professional, licensed and experienced driver.
Let me take the challenge of driving your caravan to its new destination so that you can experience that well earned break in your van without the headache of getting it from home to your favourite holiday destination. You may only have a short time during the annual holidays or weekend away breaks to enjoy the lifestyle you wish for – and we want you to make the most of it!
If you have purchased a caravan interstate and require a tow vehicle with a driver to bring it home, Anthony can do the job at a very reasonable price. Request a quote to relocate or move your caravan on our quote page.
My husband was extremely ill in Alice Springs and a friend suggested I contact Anthony from Caravan Relocation Services. It was a relief to be able to trust our car and caravan to him to relocate it from Alice to our home in Brisbane so my husband could just concentrate on getting stronger and not stressing about relocating the car and van. Anthony kept us up to date each day of the trip and we felt extremely comfortable that our Land Cruiser and New Age Caravan would arrive back home safe and sound.
I would like to thank Anthony on his professional manner and the ease of dealing with the moving of our caravan van from NSW. Anthony arrived when he said and delivered when he said , I can't ask for any more. Anthony arrived at Inverell caravan park and placed van exactly where it was to be put.
I cannot thank Anthony enough and very highly recommend him and his service. Again thanks , and would be proud to pass on his number to anyone wanting a caravan delivered safely.
I promised a testimonial for you so here it is.
I would like to thank Caravan Relocation Services for the excellent customer service I received after buying a new caravan in Sydney at auction. I had to act quickly as I was going to be charged a "Fee" for every day it stayed at the auction premises. I was unable to take time off at short notice from my work and found Anthony in a google search.
It was the best thing google has ever delivered me. Anthony quickly returned my request and immediately put me at ease with his can do attitude and willingness to help. We discussed the options came up with a plan and put it into action in a very short time frame.
I was now a Client, but the service did not stop there. Anthony kept me up to date with all that was happening with photos and updates during the entire process. The caravan arrived within 10 minutes of his expected delivery time and everything was perfect. I have been in the service industry for over 30 years and I think I can recognise exceptional customer service when i see it, and I see it here in spades.
I would thoroughly recommend Caravan Relocation Services and Anthony for any job you have where he can be of assistance.
I needed to get a long, heavy boat on a trailer one way from Frankston in Melbourne to the Gold Coast. I got quotes from transport companies which cost plenty. I tried hiring a 4WD with a heavy tow bar one way which I couldn't find. I considered borrowing my sons Ford Ranger and giving him a few dollars for his trouble before I found Anthony's Caravan Relocation Services on google.
I rang Anthony on a Tuesday afternoon and liked what he had to say and was by far my cheapest option. I paid him that afternoon and he was on his way from Brisbane early Wednesday morning headed for Melbourne. Anthony updated me with photos and text after picking up my boat and delivered my boat to my door early Saturday evening.
When we met in person it felt like we were old mates and I have already recommended Anthony's services to a friend of a friend.
Well done mate, you offer a great service at a realistic price.
with moving our caravan on couple of occasions.
He arrived on time and delivered our caravan into a very difficult spot we had chosen to be tucked in behind a home. Anthony did the job spot on! Thanks Anthony, great job!
All the way from Nambour in the sunshine coast!
Thanks for taking care of our baby and doing the long drive!

Real Reason Biden Didn't Run: VP Warned "Clinton Machine Will Destroy You"
Paul Joseph Watson October 23, 2015
Joe Biden's decision to stay out of the 2016 presidential race was reportedly made after a conversation with a high ranking adviser who told him the Clinton war machine was prepared to destroy the Vice President's reputation if he dared challenge Hillary.
The reason cited behind Biden's announcement yesterday that he would not run for the Democratic nomination was the fact that his family is still in mourning after the loss of Biden's son Beau to brain cancer.
However, according to DC Whispers another factor could have swayed the decision – a warning that the Clintons were "fully prepared and willing" to utterly destroy Joe Biden's "past, present, and future."
The website names the Vice President's Chief of Staff, Steve Ricchetti, as the trusted adviser who had a lengthy sit down with Biden and convinced him not to go head to head with the Clintons.
Ricchetti also served as White House Deputy Chief of Staff during the Bill Clinton administration and subsequently founded his own government relations firm, leading to speculation that he was tasked by the Clintons to dissuade Biden from running.
"Rumors are now swirling that Ricchetti was actually coordinating with the Clintons weeks before Biden's announced decision today that he would not not be seeking the presidency," reports the website. "This has led to further speculation that Mr. Ricchetti might find himself the beneficiary of a powerful position within a Hillary Clinton administration in the not too distant future as reward for a job well done."
Biden's decision not to run now leaves just Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the top tier of the party's 2016 candidates.
The announcement benefits Hillary to a far greater degree given that Biden would have "siphoned most of his support from Clinton," reports CNN. Clinton holds a 16 percentage point lead over Sanders according to the latest CNN/ORC poll.

Take a look at this story from our colleagues at The Huffington Post about Nicole Kelly, the newly crowned Miss Iowa.
We love the reminder that diversity is about more than race alone, and we love the way Nicole has owned her disability, making it a centerpiece of her platform and crediting it with her interest in the stage.
Tell us what you think of Nicole and her accomplishments? Could this story have been possible ten years ago? How close are we to a time when Nicole's disability will be the side note instead of the centerpiece of a story like this? Whatever the future holds, we'll be rooting for Nicole when she competes at the Miss America competition in September.

A friend once told Errol Morris that someone should make a movie called The Lost Files of Errol Morris. The director quite likes this idea, because those files are the archaeological record of the quixotic journeys of his own mind, and that is Morris's favorite story. Also, they are not lost. They are in the basement of his office in Cambridge, very neat, in hundreds of white cardboard boxes that make the space look like the evidence room on a cop show. He hasn't been down there in years, and he's very excited to take the tour again.
"It's weird down here, I must say," he says as he lopes his way through the racks of boxes bearing giant-font labels like "Alien Abduction," "Einstein," and "Lobster Boy." Surveying the room, Morris is the picture of a sloppy genius. He's sweet and big and doughy and has a lazy eye. "What kind of dementia produced this kind of material?" he mewls.
"Good Lord, it's my past," Morris says as he leafs through a box filled with folders labeled "Manson Girls" and "Lobotomy." Many of the boxes are cardboard coffins for movies he pursued for years but couldn't fund. "The Terrible Story of Jon Brower Minnoch," he says, pointing to a folder containing newspaper clippings and notes on the world's fattest man. "I was going to create a kind of postmodern masterpiece because I was going to shoot Minnoch from his POV. You would never see him. But he would be like a force field in the middle of the story." He is still clearly enamored with the idea. "No takers. No one wanted to pay for that one." He laughs and shakes his head. He loves this. "No takers," he says again.
Morris doesn't love the idea that these projects live in his basement in boxes. The boxes represent years of his life, and he knows that time is not coming back; those movies will not be made. But now, quite unexpectedly, he has become a prolific writer for the first time; he has a couple of books under contract and a regular gig writing ranty multipart essays for the Times' website. His most recent one is about his brother, who may have invented e-mail—Morris is exploring the possibility.

The matter of material is another consideration. Leather sofas are considered more luxurious, but offer fewer colour options. With most tanning techniques, a leather sofa will age with use, but resist the negative effects of wear and tear. To keep them at their best, they need to be kept away from heat sources, which can dry them out. Sunlight is also able to fade leather like just like it does fabric, so a leather sofa should be kept from direct sun. Leather has also become more affordable in recent years compared to what it used to cost. This is due to improvements in processing techniques.
Getting a sofa requires careful thinking because it can make or break the beauty of your living room. A perfect designer sofa is something that adds life and beauty to your living room. Besides, what is a living room without a sofa? It's true that you pay good money for a designer sofa. But you know what? Its exclusivity and quality are even priceless.
Sofas often are in high traffic rooms and undergo daily use and abuse by members of a household. However, when selecting a sofa many people select a design and fabric that is not as durable as other fabrics may be for the location where the sofa will be placed. Knowing the location where one will be placing a sofa and the amount of use it will receive is a big factor in selecting the perfect sofa.

A Star God is Born: Chintaku Reifujin Talismans in Japanese Religions

Watch recording here
The talk examines talismanic culture in Japanese religions through the case of the Chintaku reifu 鎮宅霊符 ("numinous talismans for the stabilization of residences"). Whereas previous scholarship viewed the set of seventy-two talismans as having an ancient Korean origin or connection to the Onmyōdō 陰陽道 tradition in Japan, my analysis of the talismans suggests that they arrived to Japan directly from Ming China (1368–1644) around the late Muromachi period (1336–1573). Once introduced, the talismans were widely adopted across different religious traditions such as Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism, and Shugendō under the name Chintaku reifujin 鎮宅霊符神 (the god of Chintaku reifu talismans) in Japan. Locating the broader transcultural history behind the Chintaku reifu talismans, the talk demonstrates how the talisman operated as a major force that shaped the talismanic culture in medieval Japanese religious landscape.
Sujung Kim is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at DePauw University. Her chief research field is Japanese Buddhism of the medieval period with a focus on transcultural interactions between Japanese and Korean Buddhism. Her interdisciplinary research interests also include Buddhist visual and material culture, as well as performative aspects of Buddhist narratives. After her first monograph, Shinra Myojin and Buddhist Networks of the East Asian "Mediterranean" (University of Hawai'i Press, 2019), she is currently working on her second book project tentatively titled, Korean Magical Medicine: Buddhist Healing Talismans in Chosŏn Korea, in which she investigates religious, historical, and visual dimensions of healing talismans produced in the Buddhist settings during the Choson period. She has published numerous book chapters and articles on Japanese Buddhism, as well as Korean Buddhism. She is the recipient of the first Mujin Writing Award in 2020 and her second book project is supported by ACLS/Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation. Currently, she is a visiting professor at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea.

Asian Embodiment of a White Canon: Shakespeare and East Asia
Speaker: Alexa Alice Joubin
2021-11-11 | 20:30-22:00 (Shanghai)

How do actors reposition their racialized bodies on stage and on screen? How did Akira Kurosawa influence George Lucas' Star Wars? Why do critics repeatedly use the adjective Shakespearean to describe Bong Joon-ho's Parasite (2019)? How do East Asian cinema and theatre portray vocal disability? How do Korean transgender cinema and East Asian feminism transform gender identities in Shakespeare? Bringing film and theatre studies together, this presentation sheds new light on the two major genres in a comparative context and reveals deep connections among Asian and Anglophone performances.
The talk is based on Alexa Alice Joubin's new book, Shakespeare and East Asia (Oxford University Press, 2021). The book identifies four themes that distinguish post-1950s East Asian cinemas and theatres from works in other parts of the world: Japanese formalistic innovations in sound and spectacle; reparative adaptations from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; the politics of gender and reception of films and touring productions in South Korea and the UK; and multilingual, diaspora works in Singapore and the UK. These adaptations are reshaping debates about the relationship between East Asia and Europe.

Introduction by Anandi Rao, Global Perspectives on Society Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU Shanghai.
Chairman Mao's Children: Generation and the Politics of Memory in China
Speaker: Bin Xu
In the 1960s and 1970s, around 17 million Chinese youths were mobilized or forced by the state to migrate to rural villages and China's frontiers. In his new book Chairman Mao's Children: Generation and the Politics of Memory in China (Cambridge, 2021), Bin Xu tells the story of how this 'sent-down' generation have come to terms with their difficult past. Exploring representations of memory including personal life stories, literature, museum exhibits, and acts of commemoration, he argues that these representations are defined by a struggle to reconcile worthiness with the political upheavals of the Mao years. These memories, however, are used by the state to construct an official narrative that weaves this generation's experiences into an upbeat story of the 'China dream'. This marginalizes those still suffering and obscures voices of self-reflection on their moral-political responsibility for their actions. Xu provides careful analysis of this generation of 'Chairman Mao's children', caught between the political and the personal, past and present, nostalgia and regret, and pride and trauma.
Bin Xu is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Emory University. His research interests lie at the intersection of politics and culture, including collective memory, civil society, cultural sociology, and social theory. He is the author of The Politics of Compassion: The Sichuan Earthquake and Civic Engagement in China (Stanford, 2017), which won two awards from the American Sociological Association, Chairman Mao's Children: Generation and the Politics of Memory in China (Cambridge 2021), and The Culture of Democracy: A Sociological Approach to Civil Society (forthcoming from Polity Press, UK). His articles have appeared in leading sociological and China studies journals. He has received fellowships, grants, and awards from the American Sociological Association, the American Council of Learned Societies, among others.
The Silk Road: Connecting Histories and Futures
Speaker: Tim Winter
2021-10-30 | 20:00-21:30 (Perth)
Today the Silk Road is rapidly becoming one of the key geocultural and geostrategic concepts of the twenty-first century. A narrative of connected histories, it now operates as a platform for international trade, diplomacy, infrastructure development and digital connectivity. Identified by two principal routes – maritime and overland, the Silk Road stretches across the Indian Ocean and Eurasian landmass; regions that will be of paramount importance in an increasingly multi-polar world.
In the Silk Road-Belt and Road nexus an architecture of cooperation has emerged that utilises discourses of civilisational dialogue, shared heritage, and a language of South-South cooperation built around solidarity and mutual-understanding.
This presentation asks how we should make sense of such developments and modes of connectivity. Moving beyond increasingly tired accounts of soft power, the talk argues China's Silk Road internationalism carries world ordering implications.

An Indian Historian in Dunhuang: Romila Thapar's Visit to China in 1957
A dialogue between Romila Thapar, Tansen Sen, and Adhira Mangalagiri
Speaker: Romila Thapar, Tansen Sen, and Adhira Mangalagiri
2021-10-20 | 17:00-18:30 (New Delhi)
Inaugural China-India Dialogue Series,
co-hosted by the India China Institute, New School, and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS.
In 1957, renowned Indian historian Romila Thapar visited China, where, together with Sri Lankan art historian Anil de Silva, she worked at two cave sites that were the locations of Buddhist monasteries and shrines from the first millennium CE. The first site was the then lesser known Maijishan in north China, and the second was the famous site of Dunhuang on the edge of the Gobi desert in Northwest China. Now, decades later, she is supplementing the academic work that emerged from that trip with a captivating travelogue: Gazing Eastward takes readers back to midcentury China, through the observations that Thapar made in her diary during her time at the two archaeological sites and her trips there and to other sites. Traveling by train or truck, Thapar met people from throughout the country and all stations in society, from peasants on a cooperative farm to Chairman Mao himself. An enchanting document of a long-lost era, Gazing Eastward is a marvel, a richly observed work of travel writing that brings a time and a place fully to life.
Romila Thapar is an emeritus professor of history at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and she was previously general president of the Indian History Congress. She is a fellow of the British Academy and holds honorary doctorates from Universities of Calcutta, Oxford University and the University of Chicago, among others. She is an Honorary Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, and SOAS, London. In 2008, she was awarded the prestigious Kluge Prize from the Library of Congress.

The Construction of "Mainstream Islam": the Politics of Orthodoxy and Nationalism in Post-1998 Indonesia
Speaker: Saskia Schäfer
2021-10-13 | 13:00-14:30 (Berlin)
It is common in present-day Indonesia to hear talk of "Islam Mainstream," which is taken – both by its adherents and critics – to be the successful consolidation of previously more diverse Muslim practices in recent Indonesian society. But how did this consolidation come about and what effects does it have? This talk will offer a discussion about the trajectory and imbrication of Islam and politics in post-reform Indonesia, and will offer some explanations for how the increased homogenization of Islam has been the result of a number of factors, some better known than others. I will argue that it's only by understanding how a variety of different discourses — from that of Islamism to that of human rights — have influenced each other that we can grasp how Islam in Indonesia has become the bidding ground for multiple sets of competitive religio-political actors.
Saskia Schäfer (BA/MA Humboldt-Universität, PhD Freie Universität Berlin) works on politics and society in the Malay-speaking archipelago. She currently leads a research group on Islam and Democracy in Indonesia and Turkey at Humboldt-Universität in Berlin, where she teaches courses on democracy, literature, and politics. Her academic work has appeared in Critical Asian Studies and Pacific Affairs, and her public writing has been featured in the New York Times and the Guardian Long Read. She is currently completing a book manuscript, "True Islam and the Politics of Orthodoxy: Ahmadiyya, Shia, and Blasphemy in Indonesia".

Beyond the Two Shores: Literature, Decolonization and the Cold War
Speaker: Francesca Orsini
2021-9-29 | 13:00-14:30 (London)
In her recent monograph At Penpoint: African Literature, Postcolonial Studies, and the Cold War, Monica Popescu convincingly argues for restoring the Cold War as the background and shaping element of decolonizing struggles. What the Cold War and the decolonization period show so crucially (and excitingly, for literary scholars) is how seriously literature was taken at the time, and how instrumental print cultures were considered to wage and advance certain struggles and ideas. If the Cold War weaponized literature and was predicated on its power and agency, decolonial and postcolonial struggles were also fought 'at penpoint'. Indeed, much has been written on Cold War literature, though until recently mainly from the perspectives of the USA, Soviet Russia, and China. But was the "rest" of the literary world of Asia, Africa, and Latin America merely a battlefield for rival ideologies, falling under either American or Soviet influence? Such a perspective is not only acutely Eurocentric, it also does not do justice to the vitality of literary activism in the decolonizing world, and to the multiple ways by which Third-World print cultures broke free from Cold War antagonisms, and from imperial superpowers. Restoring the Cold War as one of the important genealogies of decolonizing and post-colonial struggles is critical to understanding the emergence of new literary aesthetics and internationalisms at the time, and to make sense of the complexity and vitality of Third-World print cultures and of the debates and tensions (between or across ideologies and forms) that shaped them. It also makes us appreciate the challenges many Third-World, postcolonial writers faced, and the significance of the aesthetic, editorial and political choices they made.
This talk will consider the Cold War as the background and condition that enabled Indian literary magazines of the 1960s to open up to African and other Third World literatures as never before. It will particularly focus on a mainstream Hindi short story magazine, Sarika (Starling), and its editor Kamleshwar's attempt to re-orient world literature and fashion a committed but autonomous aesthetics that went 'beyond the two shores'.
Francesca Orsini is Professor emerita of Hindi and South Asian Literature at SOAS, University of London, a Fellow of the British Academy, and the author of The Hindi Public Sphere (2002) and Print and Pleasure (2009). She is interested in literary multilingualism in the longue durée and has just finished a book on the multilingual literary history of North India, a research project (funded by the European Research Council) called Multilingual Locals and Significant Geographies: for a new approach to world literature from the perspective of North India, the Maghreb, and the Horn of Africa, and an edited volume on Hinglish (with Ravikant). She co-edits with Debjani Ganguly the Cambridge Studies in World Literatures and Cultures, and is an editor of the Journal of World Literature.

The Light of Asia : Sir Edwin Arnold and his Biography of the Buddha
A dialogue between Jairam Ramesh and Tansen Sen
Speaker: Jairam Ramesh & Tansen Sen
2021-9-15 | 16:30-18:00 (New Delhi)
'The Light of Asia' is an epic poem by Sir Edwin Arnold that was first published in 1879. It is a narrative of the life and message of the Buddha. It quickly became a huge sensation and has continued to resonate powerfully across the world over the last century and a half. The poem captivated an Indian monk who remains an iconic personality-Swami Vivekananda. At about the same time, it deeply moved a young man in Colombo who has become famous in history as Anagarika Dharmapala. It caught the attention of an aspiring Indian lawyer in London in 1889. This man later became immortal as Mahatma Gandhi. A few years hence it impacted a teenager in Allahabad who would, in 1947, become the first Prime Minister of India-Jawaharlal Nehru. Two copies of the book adorned the bookshelves of B.R. Ambedkar, the prime architect of the Indian constitution.
Weaving together literary, cultural, political and social history, Jairam Ramesh uncovers and narrates the fascinating story of this deeply consequential and compelling poem that has shaped our thinking of an ancient sage and his teachings.
Jairam Ramesh brings into this unusual narrative the life of the multi-faceted poet himself who, among other things, was steeped in Sanskrit literature. Sir Edwin Arnold's English rendering of the Bhagavad Gita was one of Mahatma Gandhi's abiding favourites. Sir Edwin was also in many ways the man who shaped Bodh Gaya as we know it today.
Jairam Ramesh, a Rajya Sabha MP, was Union minister between 2006 and 2014, holding several key portfolios including environment and forests. He is the author of several well-known books including Indira Gandhi: A Life in Nature and Intertwined Lives: P.N. Haksar and Indira Gandhi. His last book, A Chequered Brilliance: The Many Lives of V.K. Krishna Menon won the Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay NIF Book Prize 2020.

中國古代建築術語注釋與翻譯工作坊暨國際研討會
The International Workshop & Symposium on Annotation and Translation of Traditional Chinese Architecture Terminology

中國建築是世界建築的重要部分,尤其中國古代建築,一直吸引著各國學者的關注與研究。但是,由於中國古代建築的術語較為晦澀難懂,跨語境學術討論中不可避免的術語翻譯,更增加了交流與理解的複雜性,成為學界研究中國古代建築的障礙,也不利更廣泛的人們理解中國古代建築的價值。
有鑑於此,東南大學陳薇、範德堡大學梅晨曦Tracy Miller及東南大學諸葛淨共同發起"中國傳統建築術語注釋與翻譯(The Annotation and Translation of Traditional Chinese Architecture Terminology,簡稱ATTCAT)"國際合作計畫,並每年舉辦工作坊與研討會,通過來自不同文化與語言背景的學者的共同研討,推進對中國古代建築術語的跨語境研究,加強對術語的共同認知。研討成果逐步通過開源數據庫(https://architecturasinica.org)與公眾分享。
本研討會已於2018年以及2019年成功舉辦了兩屆。因疫情與旅行限制,2020年的研討會被迫取消。2021年的研討會由上海紐約大學左拉拉組織,改於Zoom線上會議平臺舉行。
Chinese architecture is a critical component of global architectural heritage. Scholars of historic architecture around the world have been particularly fascinated by China's traditional timber-frame system. However, the idiosyncratic technical terminology used to describe this system of building has long been an obstacle for scholars. Native and non-native speakers alike find it challenging to fully understand the terms and translate them into modern parlance and across cultural divides. Without a full understanding of the vocabulary used to describe Chinese architectural elements, this rich tradition remains largely inaccessible to an ever-expanding public interested in visiting, and more deeply understanding, China's cultural heritage sites.
In the light of this, a group of scholars and architectural historians, led by Professor CHEN Wei (Southeast University, China), Professor Tracy Miller (Vanderbilt University, USA), and Professor ZHUGE Jing (Southeast University, China), initiated an international collaboration called the Annotation and Translation of Traditional Chinese Architecture Terminology (ATTCAT). The ATTCAT project is a workshop that meets annually and brings scholars from different countries and cultures together to study the meaning of technical terms in traditional Chinese architecture and develop full annotated translations with bibliographic references. By then publishing revised annotations in open-access databases, the ATTCAT project seeks to advance a common knowledge of Chinese architectural terminology and the heritage it describes.
The ATTCAT Workshop has been successfully hosted twice, first in 2018 and then in 2019. Although the 2020 workshop was canceled due to the pandemic, we are happy to announce that the 2021 workshop will be hosted by NYU Shanghai and organized by Professor Lala Zuo (NYU Shanghai). The event will take place over Zoom across two weekends: June 11-14; and then again from June 18-20.

Which Global? Circulating Chinese Drama and Theatre in Europe, the Americas, and Southeast Asia
Speaker: Josh Stenberg

Whether from states, promoters, or observers, there is a great deal of enthusiasm about the circulation of Chinese culture abroad, not least in contemporary cultural diplomacy projects. High-flown abstractions do not always translate to attention toward either the cultural product that is travelling (e.g. a dramatic text or narrative, or a performance troupe or practice) or to the society where it arrives. This presentation considers a variety of transnational circulations, including 19th century theatre translation in France, a 1960 performance tour of Jingju (Beijing opera) to Canada, and a contemporary Chinese-origin puppetry practice in Indonesia to reconsider what these circulations actually mean, and what determines how Chinese culture is received on arrival in various socio-historical contexts.
Josh Stenberg is a Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Sydney. He worked as foreign liaison for the Jiangsu Kunqu Company from 2001 to 2004 and studied and taught in Nanjing again from 2011 to 2015. He is the author of Minority Stages: Sino-Indonesian Performance and Public Display (University of Hawai'i, 2019) and the translator or editor of several volumes of Chinese fiction in translation.

The Thief Who Stole My Story: Self-Narration and Metafiction in Sinophone Literature from Thailand
Speaker: Rebecca Ehrenwirth
When Sinophone-Thai authors Sima Gong and Zeng Xin were born in the 1930s in Bangkok, they were not Sinophone writers yet. They did not even learn to speak Chinese until they were children, respectively teenagers. However, nowadays they count among the most prolific and popular Sino-Thai authors despite their rather high age. So when did they become Sinophone writers in Thailand and why?
In this talk I will discuss the importance of narrative self-making and metafiction in Sinophone literature in Thailand. I will mostly focus on flash fiction and poems by the two mentioned authors to exemplify not only how Sinophone writers try to (de-)construct their identities as Sinophone, Thai and as writers in Thailand but also how they struggle with their multiple identities in every day life.
Rebecca Ehrenwirth is an Assistant Professor of Translation (Chinese-German) at the University of Applied Sciences/SDI Munich and teaches at Jilin International Studies University in Changchun. She received her Ph.D. in Sinology from Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. Her research focuses on Sinophone literature (mainly in Southeast Asia), postcolonial studies, Queer film studies, contemporary Chinese art and film, as well as creative teaching techniques. Her book on Contemporary Sinophone Literature in Thailand was published in 2018 with Harrassowitz in Germany; a journal article on Intertextuality in Sino-Thai literature has just been published in the latest issue of Modern Chinese Literature and Culture. She is currently working on an article on the Shanghai Queer Film Festival and co-editing a book on Contemporary German-Chinese Cultures in Dialogue which will be published in 2023 with Springer.

In this keynote, Professor Engseng Ho explains how port-cities come to dominate rivals in the Indian Ocean, and become icons of globalization. Located between China and Europe, these cities have jockeyed with one another for half a millennium to capture the traffic of world trade. Singapore and Dubai have become such successes in recent decades, positioning themselves as hubs in air-sea multimodal logistics and new global supply-chain networks. Others such as Jedda, Aden, Mocha, Djibouti; Surat, Calicut, Bombay; Malacca, Aceh, Riau, were dominant in previous centuries as maritime ports, and some are repositioning themselves as contenders today and into the future. They keep on their toes: none of them take success or failure for granted. What are the dynamic currents that shape and reshape such places in the Indian Ocean – their constants over the long term, and their recent shifts?
Engseng Ho is the Muhammad Alagil Distinguished Visiting Professor of Arabia Asia Studies at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. At Duke University in the USA, he is Professor of Anthropology and Professor of History. He is a leading scholar of transnational anthropology, history and Muslim societies, Arab diasporas, and the Indian Ocean. His research expertise is in Arabia, coastal South Asia and maritime Southeast Asia, and he maintains active collaborations with scholars in these regions. He is co-editor of the Asian Connections book series at Cambridge University Press, and serves on the editorial boards of journals such as American Anthropologist, Comparative Studies in Society and History, History and Anthropology. He has previously held positions as Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University; Senior Scholar, Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies; Director, Middle East Institute, National University of Singapore; International Economist, Government of Singapore Investment Corporation/Monetary Authority of Singapore; Country and Profile Writer, the Economist Group. He was educated at the Penang Free School, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago.
3rd CGA/GPS Young Scholars Symposium on "Asia and the World"


"Here is a man of God and a mighty wonderworker, who was called a second Moses! Born of wealthy and eminent pagan parents, Gregory at first studied Hellenic and Egyptian philosophy, but, seeing its barrenness and insufficiency, he turned to Christian teachers, particularly Origen of Alexandria, with whom he studied for several years and by whom he was baptised. Pure in soul and body, he desired to consecrate himself utterly to Christ, to which end he withdrew to the desert, where, in painful asceticism, he spent many years. His fame spread abroad everywhere, and Phaedimus, the bishop of Amasea, wanted to make him Bishop of Caesarea. The discerning Gregory was warned of Phaedimus's intention, and hid in the wilderness from those sent to find him, so that they failed in their quest. Finally, Phaedimus consecrated him by devious means, and Gregory had to accept the work of a shepherd. The most holy Mother of God appeared to him, together with St John the Theologian, and, at her command, St John gave him the Creed that is known by Gregory's name.* Who can enumerate the miracles of this second Moses? He commanded evil spirits, commanded mountains and waters, healed every sort of pain and ill, became invisible to his persecutors and had insight into both distant events and men's thoughts. He finished his earthly course in the year 270, in great old age. When he arrived in Caesarea as bishop, the whole town was composed of pagans, with just seventeen Christians. When he departed this life, the whole town was Christian, with just seventeen pagans. He therefore received a wreath of glory from his Lord in the heavenly Kingdom. "

Krzysztof Smalec: After taking a fresh look at industrial gas companies, Air Products is currently our favorite pick in the sector, with a narrow moat, exemplary stewardship, and shares trading in 4-star territory.
Since CEO Seifi Ghasemi took the helm in June 2014, EBITDA margins have increased by over 1,000 basis points. In addition to improving profitability through massive cost cuts and divestments of noncore assets, management has focused on investing in large on-site projects, which are either built adjacent to customers' facilities or connected by pipelines. The on-site segment benefits from high switching costs and long-term customer contracts (often up to 20 years). We think that the focus on on-site projects will help solidify Air Products' moat, and we have upgraded our moat trend rating from stable to positive.
Additionally, we believe the market is underestimating Air Products' revenue growth potential as management expects to deploy roughly $15 billion of capital over the next few years. We view this ambitious target as realistic and think that as new projects become operation and start contributing to the bottom line, the market will eventually take notice. The stock is currently trading in 4-star territory, which we view as an attractive entry point.

China's housing sector makes an incredible comeback post-lockdown, but what does the future hold?
New restrictions on home loans designed to reduce exposure to China's real estate market are yet to show signs of impact. But analysts predict the inevitable result will be a slowdown in price growth after a surge post-lockdown
Since lockdowns ended in cities across China in April last year, sales volumes of new homes had climbed nearly 11 percent and prices 7.5 percent compared to the previous year. Sevenke/Shutterstock
The Year of the Rat in 2020 started with new house sales at a standstill as the pandemic bit hard. But by the start of the Year of the Ox in February, China's residential market had recorded something of a property miracle.
Since lockdowns ended in cities across China in April last year, sales volumes of new homes had climbed nearly 11 percent and prices 7.5 percent compared to the previous year, according to Fitch Ratings.
On par with median rates over the past decade, home sales in China did record a minor blip. But less than a year later, the industry's vital signs suggest the sector has developed immunity to the pandemic.
Closer inspection, though, reveals a worrying diagnosis for the central government in Beijing. In June, China's second-largest developer by sales, Hong Kong-listed China Evergrande, reported staggering outstanding loan repayments of USD124bn—equivalent to the entire sovereign debt of Denmark.
The beleaguered firm made early bond repayments in January, easing investor and policymaker concerns after institutional state investors including SenseTime Group rallied to inject capital worth tens of billions of renminbi.
Still, the China Evergrande debacle appeared to spook Beijing, coming as it did among a host of other red flags linked to real estate. Also, in June 2020, China recorded its highest-ever household leverage ratio amid a surge in new mortgages which placed the average Chinese homeowner under a record burden of mortgage repayments.
At the end of last year, the increasingly powerful chairman of China's Banking and Insurance Regulation Commission, Guo Shuqing, warned the rapidly recovering yet risk-laden property sector had become a dangerous "grey rhino" for the wider economy. In other words, a known threat that had thus far not been addressed.
"Among the 130 financial crises since the start of the 20th century, more than 100 of them are related to property markets," Guo wrote in a new central government book of policy aims looking ahead to 2035.
The new guidelines will limit banks' exposure to the real estate sector and address concerns that rising signs of overheating in the property market would weaken banking system stability
He added: "Governments won't intervene if their risk can be solved through the market." But weeks earlier, Chinese regulators under Guo had already begun asking property developers for more details on their debts as part of a new policy dubbed "the three red lines": debt-to-cash, debt-to-assets and debt-to-equity.
Then the central government announced new lending restrictions, meaning large state lenders like Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the world's biggest bank, would be required from the start of this year to cap property lending to the industry at 40 percent of total loans, and mortgages to homebuyers at 32.5 percent during a two-year transition.
Smaller banks across China's vast countryside, where debts have accumulated under less scrutiny, now face property lending caps of just 12.5 percent and 7.5 percent.
"The new guidelines will limit banks' exposure to the real estate sector and address authorities' concerns that rising signs of overheating in the property market would weaken banking system stability," says Ray Heung, senior vice-president at Moody's China.
Guo himself has revealed the extent of the challenge facing the central government as it battles to contain property-related debt risk to the wider economy amid plans to steer China towards high-end manufacturing and greater consumption.

In November, he revealed that property-related loans account for 39 percent of all bank lending in China, significantly higher than the 28.8 percent acknowledged officially by the central bank which Guo oversees as a Communist Party chief.
The gap between the two figures points to the large chunk of loans in China funnelled into property, contravening local rules. Bank loans to help small businesses amid the pandemic have in some cases been channelled instead into dummy shell companies and used illegally for real estate investments, according to the South China Morning Post.
Large but unknown sums also reach the property sector from trusts or locally-owned investment firms which function like banks with little government oversight, the increasingly restricted peer-to-peer lending sector, and wealthy groups and families who invest capital directly with developers, says Andrew Collier, managing director of Orient Capital Research in Hong Kong and author of Shadow Banking and the Rise of Capitalism in China.
"The regulators have become tighter on examining the balance sheets of the property developers," says Collier. "Yet, there are still ways to get around the debt limits."
Collier correctly predicted that state firms would come to the rescue of China Evergrande, averting a property-induced financial crisis in China. He expects weaker economic conditions in China during the remainder of this year.
In the longer term, the inevitable result of government policy will be towards tighter credit, even if in the short term household loans reached record levels in January, up 26 percent to CNY944.8bn compared to a year earlier. After the Chinese New Year, there were still few signs of policy impact outside of a small increase in mortgage rates by 4 basis points, according to Rong360.com, an online loan service that tracks borrowing costs.
The new government checks and restrictions on bank loans to the property sector were not designed to rein in home price growth, says James, Savills head of China research in Shanghai.
But further policy restrictions were expected to be announced by the government this year after government delegates met in Beijing in early March for the Two Sessions political meetings which steer policy, and these would likely target surging post-lockdown property prices.
"Most (restrictions) will have the intention of curbing price growth in leading first and second-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing that saw strong growth in 2020 and the first month of 2021," added James. "They will also serve to stimulate demand for lower-tier cities and to support those local markets."
