Frontier Tibet: Patterns of Change in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands
Frontier Tibet addresses a historical sequence that sealed the future of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands. It considers how starting in the late nineteenth century imperial formations and emerging nation-states developed competing schemes of integration and debated about where the border between China and Tibet should be. It also ponders the ways in which this border is internalised today, creating within the People's Republic of China a space that r…
Circulations: Place, Movement, Belonging
This introduction to the special issue, ‘In(tangible) Circulations: Pathways of Sociality in Highland Asia,’ posits ‘circulations’ as a fundamental modus operandi of place-making and of forms of belonging that transcend geographical or physical boundaries. The notion of ‘circulations’ is conceived as the movement of material and intangible things and beings, the circuits of going forth and coming back, and their role in the continuous entanglemen…
Stories of circulations in the Himalayas
Introduction There are many ways to travel. People of the Himalayas often travel out of necessity rather than for leisure: on foot, as in the past, but now increasingly by motorised means. Their motivations can be diverse and the distances covered change according to the mode of travel. The Himalayan mountains still impose constraints that new infrastructure can only partially overcome. The Himalayan range – despite its high peaks, the tumultuous…

Erik Mueggler, Songs for Dead Parents. Corpse, Text, and World in Southwest China
Erik Mueggler aborde dans ce livre la place des morts, âmes ancestrales ou esseulées, et confronte l’idée que les démons des autres ne sont pas si différents des siens. En l’occurrence, ces autres sont les Lòlop’ò de la province du Yunnan en Chine, auprès desquels Mueggler conduit ses recherches depuis 1992. Son excellente monographie, The Age of Wild Ghosts, abordait déjà les conséquences sociales de l’interdiction de procéder aux rituels funéra…

Nature De-naturalised: Modes of Relation with the Environment among the Drung of Northwest Yunnan (China)
This article is about the ways the Drung (Dulong), a minority inhabiting a remote mountainous valley of Northwest Yunnan province (China), view the ‘natural world’ as part of a cosmological order in which human society is integrated. The article explores the principles of differentiation that preside over the modes of relation between the diverse components of this world, by paying close attention to subsistence activities. Until recently, the Dr…
Devenirs identitaires dans les confins sino-tibétains: Contextes et transformations
This article discusses the fluidity of ethnic categorization in the context of changing ethnic relations, based on a diachronic and regional approach. It is argued that such an approach is needed to understand identity trajectories of peoples of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands. While studies on minorities in China are often limited to one ethnic group, the perspective defended here considers the interactions between several groups in specific contex…
Critical Han Studies: The History, Representation, and Identity of China's Majority
Addressing the problem of the ‘Han’ ethnos from a variety of relevant perspectives—historical, geographical, racial, political, literary, anthropological, and linguistic—Critical Han Studies offers a responsible, informative deconstruction of this monumental yet murky category. It is certain to have an enormous impact on the entire field of China studies.” Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania“This deeply historical, multidisciplinary volume…
L'injonction à la fête. Enjeux locaux patrimoniaux d'une fête en voie de disparition
Comme les autres minorités de la République populaire de Chine, les Drung (Dulong) ont leur propre « festival », officiellement répertorié sous le nom chinois de « Kaquewa » et désormais listé dans l’inventaire national du patrimoine culturel immatériel. Une double officialisation paradoxale : à ce jour ladite fête n’est plus pratiquée par les intéressés.Cet article explore le contexte particulier de la disparition de cette cérémonie et du rituel…

The Politics of Names: The Identification of the Dulong (Drung) of Northwest Yunnan
The identification of the Dulong (Drung), one of China's smallest minority nationalities, has often been presented as an unproblematic case for the Nationalities Identification Project. As a geographically bounded and distinct community, they fit naturally into the state's new category. Their designation as an officially recognized "nationality" ( minzu) appeared to conform to the Drung people's own sense of identity. But as this article shows, a…
