The markings of Argentine Chinatown: Stereotypes, Hybridisation and 'Invasion
Visual landscapes mark location and representation. When considering Argentine Chinatown, its visual markings reflect stereotypic Chinese elements, hybridisation with local culture, and the ‘invasion’ of space. These visuals help locate and ‘authenticate’ the place, thereby legitimising tourists’ gaze. They also provide clues to its past and future direction. Visual landscapes are not only aesthetic place-markers but are also the embodiment of th…
Becoming Silent Mentors: Buddhist Ethics Regarding Cadaver Donations for Science in Taiwan
Since 1995, thousands of people in Taiwan have pledged each year to donate their cadavers to the medical college run by the Buddhist Tzu Chi (Ciji) Foundation. The “surge of cadavers” seems intriguing in a society where ancestor worship continues to be salient. Drawing on my fieldwork in 2012–2013 and 2015, the purpose of this paper is to describe a series of practices involving the transformation of a cadaver into a Buddhist moral subject: the d…
Religion and Charity: The Social Life of Goodness in Chinese Societies
Free markets alone do not work effectively to solve certain kinds of human problems, such as education, old age care, or disaster relief. Nor have markets ever been the sole solution to the psychological challenges of death, suffering, or injustice. Instead, we find a major role for the non-market institutions of society - the family, the state, and social institutions. The first in-depth anthropological study of charities in contemporary Chinese…
Charisma and Compassion: Cheng Yen and the Buddhist Tzu Chi Movement
Genealogies of NGO-ness: The Cultural Politics of a Global Buddhist Movement in Contemporary Taiwan
Is the concept of the NGO, or nongovernmental organization, a global catchall? This article tries to respond to the globalization of the concept of NGO by tracing the historical and local development of a Taiwanese grassroots Buddhist organization, the Buddhist Tzu Chi (Ciji) Foundation, in the public sphere of Taiwan since the late 1960s, and particularly the controversies surrounding the group's rapid growth during Taiwan's democratization sinc…
Gendered Charisma in the Buddhist Tzu Chi ( Ciji ) Movement
The Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi (Ciji) Foundation of Taiwan is a lay Buddhist movement under monastic leadership that has a mission of relieving all living beings from suffering. The founder and leader is the Venerable (or the Dharma Master) Cheng Yen (Zhengyan fashi). Cheng Yen is an ordained nun and, at the same time, commands considerable personal appeal. While Tzu Chi's current membership of several million does include a significant n…
Language Planning for Naming and its Socio-cultural Connotations: A Case Study in Taiwan
Names function as a people's cultural heritage that links the present to the past. Hence I propose that a comprehensive study of LP for naming needs to take into account socio-political context critically. My discussion of the case of Taiwan covers two social domains affected by LP for naming. In the public domain, I examine the change in the linguistic landscape of placenames in Taiwan. In the private domain, I review how people are affected by …

Sacred or Profane? The Compassion Relief Movement’s Transnationalism in Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, and the United States
The Buddhist Compassion Relief Foundation ( Tzu-Chi or Ciji ) is primarily a lay Buddhist movement that focuses on relieving human suffering through secular action. Inspired and led by a Buddhist nun, Compassion Relief is at present the largest formal association in Taiwan, with increasing overseas expansion: in the last decade, Compassion Relief has persistently delivered relief goods to different contents, and overseas Chinese, especially emigr…

Wings of Belief: Modern Chinese Religious Transnationalism
Weeping in a Taiwanese Buddhist Charismatic Movement
Emotion can be a locus of interpretation and a motor for religious commitment. This is illustrated with the thick description of uncontrolled weeping that recurred with the followers of a Buddhist charismatic movement in modern Taiwan. Ethnography of the ubiquity of weeping in this group suggests that emotion in religion expressed in tears is not limited to rituals or uncanny phenomena; and the devotees' and the leader's interpretation of weeping…
