> Colonial History Society meeting, to be held in New Orleans in May-June,
> 2012. My own paper will argue that in addition to race and gender,
> class--understood both as primarily discursive imaginings of social class
> as well as more non-discursive stratified socio-economic
> relationships--significantly helped to shape the history of the colonial
> state in French Indochina.

> _Childbirth in Republican China: Delivering Modernity_

> From the back cover:
>
> Childbirth in Republican China: Delivering Modernity is the study of
> a pivotal period (1911–1949) in which traditional midwifery, marked
> by private, unregulated old-style midwives, was transformed into
> modern midwifery through the adoption of a highly medicalized and
> state-sponsored birth model that is standard in urban China today. in
> the twentieth century, biomedical technologies altered the process of
> childbirth on virtually every level. What had been a matter of
> private interest, focusing on family and lineage, became a national
> priority, a symbol of the new citizen who would participate in the
> creation of a revitalized nation. This transformation of reproduction
> coalesces with the broader story of China's twentieth-century
> revolutions, marked by an emphasis on science and modernity. The
> roles of the state and Western medical personnel were paramount in
> affecting these changes, but equally important were the intense
> social and cultural shifts that occurred simultaneously. The dominant
> themes of reproduction in twentieth-century China are characterized
> by expanding state involvement, shifting gender roles, escalating
> consumption patterns accompanying the commercialization of private
> lives, and the increasing medicalization of the birth process.
>
> "This well-researched book is an important addition to the literature
> on state building and mod- ernization in modern China. Focusing on
> the introduction and development of the biomedical birth model in the
> Republican period, it provides a stimulating case study of the
> transformation of reproduction during a period of far-reaching
> social, intellectual, and cultural changes. The author's careful and
> insightful analysis of the issues of modernization, state building,
> gender roles, consumer culture, and the medicalization of birth in
> modern China is scholarly and commend- able. The book will be of
> considerable value to historians of China and medicine, sociologists,
> and anthropologists, as well as gender studies scholars." —Ka-Che
> Yip, author of Health and National Reconstruction in Nationalist
> China: The Development of Modern Health Services, 1928-1937,
> University of Maryland, Baltimore County
>
> "This richly-detailed analysis is an important contribution to our
> understanding of the ways in which gender, medicine, and
> state-building have historically intersected in modern China. Through
> a multi-faceted account of the individuals and institutions who
> sought to reform traditional midwifery practices, Childbirth in
> Republican China reveals how measures intended to improve women's
> status could also subject female reproductive bodies to intensified
> government control. it is sure to become a standard reference in the
> field." —Yi-Li Wu, author of Reproducing Women: Medicine, Metaphor,

> "Colonial Policing In The Dutch East Indies: The Case Of The Ambonese

> by Martin Thiry, 2011 Library of Congress Florence Tan Moeson Fellow

>
> Summary:
> The role of ethnic minorities in colonial policing is integral to the rise
> of the nation-state and an expression of agency on the part of minority
> groups in the development of the nation-state. During the late colonial
> period an amalgamation of ethnic minorities, referred to collectively as
> the Ambonese, were employed as policing agents. In this capacity the
> Ambonese have been understood as subject forces and less as actors,
> obscuring a fuller history of the Ambonese as colonial police. The ways
> in which they served in the years 1873-1945 helped lay foundations for the
> Indonesian nation-state. The Dutch were trying to form and keep together
> the colonial state; with the help of the Ambonese they served to cohere
> Indonesia.
> The introduction of armed police units, fortified in ever greater numbers
> by the Ambonese (personnel from Ambon, greater Maluku, Manado, and Timor),
> allowed the start of the pacification of the archipelago, particularly in
> the Outer Islands where the Dutch had so far exercised no more than
> nominal control. Ambonese would serve prominently in the Marechausse and
> later in the much more robust gewapende politie, critically in their own
> home areas.
> About the presenter:
> Martin Thiry graduated from Harvard in 2000 and joined the New Orleans
> Police Department where he was a patrolman and a robbery detective. He
> will complete his PhD in History at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and
> the East-West Center in Spring 2012.

> Extensive land and maritime networks have crisscrossed Asia for
> centuries,
> providing the basis for encounters between diverse ethnic, linguistic,
> economic, religious, and political groups. Today, developments such as
> new infrastructural projects, an increase in media access, and renewed
> interest in shaping cross-border cultural identities serve to both
> underscore these long-standing linkages and create new forms of
> connections across Asia. During the 3rd Asian Borderlands Research
> Conference in Kunming, we invite submissions that address
> continuities and ruptures along routes and borders in Asia, broadly
> related to the theme, "Connections, Corridors, and Communities".
>
> * Connections: How are Asian borderlands made more (or less) visible
> through the study of cross-border connections? In what ways does the
> idea of the "borderland" remain resilient throughout political and
> historical ruptures? What are the characteristics of various kinds of
> connections that are being created (as well as cut off) in Asian
> borderlands?
>
>
> * Corridors: Are networks and paths throughout Asian borderlands being
> forged, reopened, diverted, or closed, and what are the effects of such
> processes? Can one conceive of "corridors" in relation to maritime or
> island borderlands, information technology networks, or bodily
> borders in Asia?
>
> * Communities: What constitutes a "community" or "communities" in and
> across Asian borderlands, and how might these be contingent upon
> other factors, such as politics, environmental issues, and history?
> What are some of the barriers and restrictions to the creation of
> communities in the context of Asian borderlands? In what ways is a
> community defined by the state, by organizations, and/or by local
> individuals?
>
> Since one of the main goals of this conference is to spur collaboration
> and
> conversation across diverse fields in the hope of building up a more
> nuanced
> picture of the intersections and relationships across Asian borderlands,
> submissions are invited from scholars, writers, policy studies
> researchers,
> artists, filmmakers, activists, the media, and others from a wide variety
> of
> disciplinary backgrounds. We invite conceptually innovative papers, based
> on
> new research, in order to develop new perspectives in the study of Asian
> Borderlands.
>
> Only a small number of individual papers will be selected. We therefore
> encourage you to submit a full panel or roundtable proposal. We will
> consider proposals for panels and roundtables that have a thematic focus,
> are of a comparative character, and involve scholars or practitioners
> affiliated with different institutions.*
>
> *New to this Asian Borderlands conference, the roundtable format is
> intended to allow for a more open forum on a broader theme. Typically,
> panelists will each address the main issue or topic of the roundtable,
> and the remainder of the time is open for an informal discussion
> between the panel members and a more extended question-and-answer
> period with the audience. Some examples of wide themes in relation
> to Asian borderlands may include, but are not limited to: migration;
> security; gender; technology; environmental issues, etc.
>
> Please visit http://asianborderlands.net to submit proposals.
>
> The deadline is 1 December 2011.
>
>
> Participants will be notified towards the beginning of the year 2012.
>
> Very limited financial support may be made available to specific scholars
> residing in Asia and some junior or low-income scholars in other parts of
> the world. If you would like to be considered for a grant, please submit
> along with your abstract for a panel and/or paper a short letter stating

>
> With the various advances of new urban sociologies, the inadequacies of
> already existing models to track the production of the urban space have
> been felt all across the globe. This approach of redefining or
> demystifying the urban space as a social category comes from the inherent
> inadequacies of already existing economic, political, sociological and
> semiotic models. More empirical work is required to understand the
> production of the urban space and other forms of spatial negotiations
> associated with it. We have to remember that this urban space is also the
> settlement space/zone. It is an important territory of emerging social
> movements, community relations/liaisons.
>
> The Urban cannot be studied as a single discreet metropolitan development
> in a particular national setting. We have to look at it from a larger
> global setting in order to identify the ideologies of Colonialism to late
> Liberalism behind the social production of this urban space. Thus the
> study of this urban space has to be multidisciplinary. We need a
> comparative methodology to understand the complexity of the space. It is
> important to remember that the urban is continuously being defined in
> relation to what is not urban.
>
> Over a few decades, Canada and India, as geo-political identities
> experienced the growth and development of urban spaces and the discontent
> associated with it. Be it Ontario or Gujarat, the Aboriginal people in
> both the countries have raised their voice against illegal, illicit
> development projects and land acquisitions. Both Canada and India has
> experienced record migration to these urban spaces on an international and
> national level. The complex issues of labour mobilization and manhandling
> of human resource is closely associated with urbanization. Various groups
> (indigenous, immigrants, migrants, ethnic minorities, sexual minorities,
> religious minorities,) in both the countries have performed their
> discontent to reclaim their identities which have been thwarted in these
> promised lands. If we consider these urban spaces as negotiations of
> neocolonial paradigms, then one cannot ignore the various forms of
> performing discontent from several communities in these emerging
> territories.
>
> The conference will try to map these performing discontents as pedagogic
> shifts, to be more specific, paradigmatic shifts in the global context.
> The idea is to relocate pedagogy outside the imperial framework of
> pedagogic models. In the Global context, the situation of the Aboriginal
> People in Canada and India (how it was and how it is perceived today
> within the academia and other social institutions ) can serve as an
> example in both Canada and India to substantiate the claim of spatial
> negotiation in the context of increasing visibility of various minority
> groups in the urban space. Immigration and International Labour
> mobilization/politics can be cited as another example in this context.
> Papers are invited in all areas relating to the general theme of the
> conference. We have identified certain areas and some of them are listed
> below:
>
> Urban Sociology :Metropolis, Cities, Towns and Ruralis, Architecture The
> Urban Space and Indigenous Alterities

> For nuclear physicists, chemists and technicians, the hundreds of
> thousands of civilian victims of the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima
> and Nagasaki cast a painfully sharp light on the military and biopolitical
> consequences of their work during the Second World War. In the nuclear
> arms race between the Cold War superpowers, many nuclear scientists felt
> able, justified and indeed called upon to campaign against the continued
> development and deployment of nuclear weapons. Those scientists included
> some who had themselves helped to develop the atom bomb.
>
> Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
>
> Among the various national and transnational groupings working against
> nuclear war, the Pugwash movement stands out. Even today, it evokes the
> July 1955 manifesto that was drafted by Bertrand Russell and co-signed by
> Albert Einstein just before his death. The movement took its name from the
> location of its first meeting, in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia in
> summer 1957. So far, 59 Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
> and numerous workshops have been held in various regions of the world.
> From the beginning, the movement aimed to bring together eminent
> scientists, scholars, politicians, diplomats and government advisers
> across the hostile frontiers of the Cold War. The Pugwashites wanted to go
> beyond the exchange of diplomatic notes or military force, instead using
> the shared language of science to evaluate the risks of nuclear armament,
> develop solutions to regional conflicts and exert influence on national
> governments with the goal of promoting world peace.
>
> The themes addressed by the Pugwash conferences have diversified to
> reflect the changing problems facing international politics climate
> change; crises of energy, food and natural resources. Since the movement
> was founded its membership structure has also changed, as have the
> scientific disciplines and professions of its members, its objectives,
> methods and modes of cooperation, and its role within the debates of
> global politics.
>
> Pugwash movement: History or histories
>
> To date, the history of the Pugwash movement has been told largely through
> chronological accounts, memoirs and partial studies of national Pugwash
> groups. Writing a comprehensive history of the movement is perhaps not
> possible at the present time. On the one hand, the informal structure of
> the Pugwash movement means it is known only to a relatively small
> audience, and has attracted little attention from historians even since
> the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the movement and its secretary
> general, Joseph Rotblat, in 1995. On the other, although the Pugwash
> movement has an international presence, it is embedded in very different
> scientific, social and political configurations in different countries and
> regions. As a result, it seems neither possible nor desirable to write a
> single, unified narrative of the movement's peace-policy successes and
> global political significance.
>
> Instead, what we need are multi-faceted histories written from a range of
> distinct national and regional perspectives. Only in this way will
> historians be able to fully understand the distinctive character of the
> Pugwash movement in the long term, its survival through time and across
> such profound political changes and its contributions to international
> dialogue. From its inception, Pugwash oscillated between an elitist claim
> to universal scientific expertise, links with transnational movements for
> peace and against nuclear weapons, and integration into the local
> political establishments. It therefore offers an outstanding opportunity
> to consider national and international connections between science and
> politics, which became increasingly complex during the second half of the
> twentieth century. Analysing these interrelations from a transnational
> perspective necessitates a large, cooperative network of historians, able
> to take a range of different thematic and regional approaches.
>
> Objectives of the workshop
>
> The wide and diverse literature on the Cold War by political historians,
> historians of science and historians of diplomacy has hitherto yielded
> only a small number of informative studies of the Pugwash movement (these
> include Evangelista 1999; Kubbig 2004; Butcher 2005; Braun 2007). The
> proposed workshop intends to form a springboard for a more broadly based
> engagement with the topic. Our objectives include:
> - to exchange information regarding existing research and ongoing projects
> relating to the history of the Pugwash movement in various different
> countries,
> - using completed, current and planned research projects as a point of
> entry, to discuss history of science and political history dimensions of
> the Pugwash movement,
> - to examine methodological approaches, the state of documentation and
> questions around archival sources relevant to Pugwash.
>
> Who is invited?
>
> We invite proposals from scholars in the history of science, social and
> political history, and related disciplines. You should either have worked
> directly on the history of the Pugwash movement or addressed it in the
> course of other research. Proposals related to ongoing PhD or postdoctoral
> projects are particularly welcome.
>
> Please submit a one-page proposal and brief CV in English to
> office_sachse.zeitgeschichte@univie.ac.at by 31 October, 2011. We will
> notify selected participants in November 2011. Papers of no more than
> 3,500 words must be submitted, in English, by 31 March, 2012.
>
> Funding is still pending. We hope to be able to cover travel costs for up
> to ten participants (max. 400 each).
