Abstract

This study examines the effect of Radhabinod Pal's judgment at the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, in which he boldly dissented from the majority opinion and held that all Japanese defendants were not guilty. It also explores how historical revisionists have utilized and propagated his judgment in postwar Japanese right-wing politics.

Abstract

In The Dura Language: Grammar andamp; Phylogeny Nicolas Schorer provides the definite descriptive account of this hitherto poorly documented language of Lamjung, Nepal. The Dura language is effectively extinct, although attempts at revival may be undertaken by well-intentioned members of Dura ethnicity. On the basis of a comprehensive study and analysis of all of the extant Dura language material, the book outlines the phonology, nominal and verbal morphology, lexical and syntactic properties as well as the phylogenetic position of the language in unprecedented detail. The result of the phylogenetic inquiry will help explain some of the sociocultural realities associated with the Dura community in Nepal and is a significant contribution to our understanding of the linguistic landscape of the Himalayas.

Abstract

After the restoration of democracy in 1990, Nepal witnessed collective political struggles-identity and gender movements, public protests and strikes, and the Maoist rebellion.This volume examines the causes, consequences and effectiveness of such contentious politics, and their relationship to democratization. Contradicting the popular thesis that contentious politics generally promotes democratization, this topical book shows that some forms of contentious politics can hinder it, even as other forms strengthen democracy. It also suggests that the nature of activities-whether they are coerciv

Abstract

Robert Desjarlais's graceful ethnography explores the life histories of two Yolmo elders, focusing on how particular sensory orientations and modalities have contributed to the making and the telling of their lives. These two are a woman in her late eighties known as Kisang Omu and a Buddhist priest in his mid-eighties known as Ghang Lama, members of an ethnically Tibetan Buddhist people whose ancestors have lived for three centuries or so along the upper ridges of the Yolmo Valley in north central Nepal. It was clear through their many conversations that both individuals perceived themselves as nearing death, and both were quite willing to share their thoughts about death and dying. The difference between the two was remarkable, however, in that Ghang Lama's life had been dominated by motifs of vision, whereas Kisang Omu's accounts of her life largely involved a "theatre of voices." Desjarlais offers a fresh and readable inquiry into how people's ways of sensing the world contribute to how they live and how they recollect their lives.

Abstract

Qu’une population rizicole maîtrise l’irrigation ne surprendra personne. En revanche, qu’elle partage minutieusement cette ressource, pourtant abondante, est beaucoup plus étonnant. Comment expliquer ce paradoxe et comprendre le système sophistiqué de gestion de l’eau à Aslewacaur, village du Népal central ? Grâce à une approche historique, l’auteur replace les choix techniques d’irrigation dans leur contexte socio-économique, politique et environnemental. Mais surtout, elle repère dans l’organisation du système d’irrigation la prédominance d’une logique de parenté qui, de surcroît, s’appuie sur l’inscription territoriale des caractéristiques sociales : l’accès à l’eau et sa gestion tout entière se calquent ainsi sur la division lignagère et le partage du patrimoine foncier du clan Brahmane qui domine le village. On découvre alors qu’à travers les tours d’eau que mesure l’horloge hydraulique, c’est la triade fondamentale eau – terre – société qui s’organise dans une relation en miroir entre société et espace hydraulique. En privilégiant l’étude de la pensée paysanne et de la dimension sociale des tech­niques, l’ouvrage fournit un modèle général d’approche des rapports entre société et agriculture. Il s’adresse de ce fait aux agronomes, ethnologues, géographes, sociologues ou étudiants concernés par les relations entre techniques de produc­tion et structures sociales en milieu rural.
