Global Asias
Global Asias: Tactics & Theories is the inaugural volume in an exciting new series that explores critical concerns animating Global Asias scholarship. It challenges the silos of academic knowledge formation that currently make legible and organize the study of Asia and its multiple diasporas. Transits, Indigeneity, Epistemology, Language, and A/Geography: These keywords highlight potential overlaps and points of disagreement between area studies,…

Unsettling Sound Studies
Sound Studies is a remarkably heterogonous field. And yet, it does tend to center Western humanist notions, what Marie Thompson, in her entry on “Sound Studies” for the Oxford Bibliographies, has called a “colonial core.”1 One artifact of that core persists in the name of the field, which posits sound as an object of inquiry: the study of sound. By contrast, each of the four works I discuss below invites critical reflection on the field of Sound …
Memory, Music, Manuscripts
Shaped largely by an emphasis of Sōtō founder Dōgen's (1200–1252 CE) teaching of shikan taza 只管打座 (“just sitting”), popular conceptions of Zen, and particularly of Zen monastic life, center silence and stillness. And yet, as Michaela Mross shows in this detailed study of Sōtō monastic life, temples are characterized by a “vivid soundscape” of bells, drums, and various styles of vocal recitation (ix). Mross's study pursues three main goals: to doc…

Comparing the Literatures
David Damrosch's lengthy new study Comparing the Literatures is a useful, introductory survey aimed at students and faculty in comparative literature programs and “anyone interested in incorporating a comparative dimension into their work” (1). Broadly speaking, he seeks to respond to two interrelated questions: “How can we best address the many disparate literatures now at play in literary studies, and what do we really mean by ‘comparing’ them?…
The Art of Persistence
The Art of Persistence examines the relations between art and politics in transwar Japan, exploring these via a microhistory of the artist, memoirist, and activist Akamatsu Toshiko (also known as Maruki Toshi, 1912–2000). Scaling up from the details of Akamatsu’s lived experience, the book addresses major events in modern Japanese history, including colonization and empire, war, the nuclear bombings, and the transwar proletarian movement. More br…

Worlding Sei Shōnagon
Envisioning the Invisible
I attend to the particular social and revelatory functions that the folkloric has been made to perform in the Japanese tradition. Reaching deep into literary history, I examine the gazetteer ( fudoki ) and the explanatory tale ( setsuwa ) as two crucial premodern sites of collection, examining the ways that folkloric texts are embedded in their surrounding literary projects, before turning to a consideration of contemporary women’s fiction. I inv…
Reading by heart
This article combines contemporary work in social bibliography, translation theory and Buddhist studies to focus on two questions. First, what exactly does the act of “reading” sutras entail? And second, what is the precise relation between material sign and acoustic sound in Buddhist recitation? Answers to these questions are necessarily inextricably bound to local contexts and communities. The so-called ‘pictorial Heart Sutras’ (Jp: esetsu Shin…
Miracles of Book and BodyBuddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan
This book explores the intersection of two key genres of sacred literature in medieval Japan: sutras, or sacred Buddhist texts; and setsuwa, or “explanatory tales,” used in sermons and collected in written compilations. For most of East Asia, Buddhist sutras were written in classical Chinese and inaccessible to many devotees. How, then, did such devotees access these texts? The book argues that the medieval genre of “explanatory tales” illuminate…

Illustrating the Mind
This article explores the overlap between descriptions of sutra devotion that appear in setsuwa narratives and graphic traditions of sutra decoration popular in classical and medieval Japan, particularly from the eleventh century onward. Drawing on material from two Heian-period setsuwa collections, Hokke genki (1040-1044) and Konjaku monogatari shu (ca. 1120), the article focuses on the visual elements of written sutras, especially as elaborated…
