She Said No
As a contribution toward survivor-centered approaches to the study of religion and sex abuse that centers historical Tibetan Buddhist women, this article focuses on key passages from the autobiography of Sera Khandro Dewai Dorjé (1892–1940), through which a nuanced vision of Vajrayāna technologies of sexuality emerges. Drawing on insights from feminist historiography, this article listens to Sera Khandro’s portrayal of Vajrayāna sexual ethics, in…
Gender Equality in and on Tibetan Buddhist Nuns' Terms
Gender equality and feminism are often cast as concepts foreign to the Tibetan cultural region, even as scholarship exploring alliances between Buddhism and feminism has grown. Critics of this scholarship contend that it superimposes liberal discourses of freedom, egalitarianism, and human rights onto Asian Buddhist women's lives, without regard for whether/how these accord with women's self-understandings. This article aims to serve as a correct…
In search of a queer Buddhist theology
This review article celebrates the massive contributions José Ignacio Cabezón's Sexuality in Classical South Asian Buddhism has made to the fields of Buddhist studies, South Asian studies, and studies in gender and sexuality. After introducing the vast scope of Cabezón's masterwork, the article draws attention to Cabezón's notably minimalist treatment of tantra, which he asserts did no more to challenge the denigration of queer people than exoter…
Negotiating Religion and the State
The science of sensual pleasure according to a Buddhist monk
Of all the myriad aspects of Indian learning to be incorporated into Tibetan Buddhist scholarship, one of the least likely would seem to be the Indian science of sensual pleasure,kāmaśāstra. Even so, we do find traces of Sanskritkāmaśāstratransposed into Tibetan Buddhist idiom. The most innovative example is theTreatise on Passion('Dod pa'i bstan bcos) written by Ju Mipam Jamyang Namgyel Gyatso (1846-1912). This article investigates the reasons w…
Love and Liberation
Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism
Introduction To Buddhism Beyond The Monastery
Tibetan religions, including Buddhism and Bon, have been profoundly shaped by the institutional influence of monasticism-the congregation of ordained monks and nuns who support a sole religious tradition according to a cenobitic (communal), eremitic (isolated), or peripatetic (itinerant) lifestyle. Buddhist monasticism is widely popular not only in Tibetan society, but also in the culturally akin societies along the Himalayan belt. Despite its pr…
To Be Or Not To Be Celibate
This chapter explores the tension between celibate and non-celibate interpretations of ideal Tibetan religious conduct through the biographical and autobiographical writings of the most prolific female author and Treasure revealer in Tibetan history, Se ra mkha' 'gro. In Se ra mkha' 'gro's day the Mgo log religious landscape was comprised primarily of two types of communities: 1) religious encampments centred on charismatic Treasure revealers who…

Ellen T. Armour and Susan M. St. Ville successfully bring together the nine essays in this volume in an effort to engage both scholars of religion who may or may not be familiar with feminist and queer theorist Judith Butler's work and scholars of feminist and queer theory who may be skeptical about religious studies. Significantly aiding the former category of religionists is Armour and St. Ville's remarkably clear introduction to Butler's major…
Conversation Analysis and Applied Linguistics
Conversation Analysis (CA) as a mode of inquiry is addressed to all forms of talk and other conduct in interaction, and, accordingly, touches on the concerns of applied linguists at many points. This review sketches and offers bibliographical guidance on several of the major relevant areas of conversation-analytic work—turn-taking, repair, and word selection—and indicates past or potential points of contact with applied linguistics. After coverin…

Down to the wire
This study examines how deadlines and time limits for conference talks organize the discourse of consensus among collaborating experimental and theoretical physicists in a university laboratory Six months of videotaped observations, including two cycles of conference talk preparation, indicate that, as the date of an upcoming conference nears, several things happen (a)Co-authoring physicists usually have not achieved agreement on all aspects of t…
“When I come down I'm in the domain state”
“I” is not the name of a person, nor “here” of a place, and “this” is not a name. But they are connected with names. Names are explained by means of them. It is also true that it is characteristic of physics not to use these words. L. Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations (1958: 123) Linguistic resources for practicing science This paper explores how scientists build meaning through routine interpretive activity involving talk, gesture, and …

The Constitution of Expert-Novice in Scientific Discourse
This paper argues that an examination of expert-novice relationships in unfolding interaction should not proceed from the static and unidirectional view that knowledge and status are distributed as functions of a priori categories such as age, gender, and hierarchical rank. Although analysis of interactional sequences from the group meetings of a university physics team reveals the co-occurrence of professional status and expertise in some segmen…
