Cwiertka and Ewa Machotka S A L E S A N D O R D E R I N F O R M AT I O N Consuming Life in Post-Bubble Japan A Transdisciplinary Perspective This multidisciplinary book analyses the contradictory coexistence of consumerism and environmentalism in contemporary Japan. It focuses on the dilemma that the diffusion of the concepts of sustainability and recycling has posed for everyday consumption practices, and on how these concepts have affected, and were affected by, the production and consumption of art. Special attention is paid to the changes in consumption practices and environmental consciousness among the Japanese public that have occurred since the 1990s and in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters of March 2011. “A very adroit look at post-bubble Japan through its "social economics" and culture, from robots to garbage, fashion to food. I will use it with enthusiasm in graduate and undergraduate courses.” — Merry White, Boston University Katarzyna Cwiertka is chair of modern Japan studies at Leiden University. Ewa Machotka is associate professor of Japanese language and culture at Stockholm University.

Experiences, Negotiations and Contestations Edited by Marina Svensson and Christina Maags Chinese Heritage in the Making Experiences, Negotiations and Contestations Cover image: Youbei wuhuan tu, unknown artist Courtesy University Library Ruhr-Universität Bochum Catalogue Design: Remco Mulckhuyse, Coordesign The Chinese state uses cultural heritage as a source of power by linking it to political and economic goals, but heritage discourse has at the same time encouraged new actors to appropriate the discourse to protect their own traditions. This book focuses on that contested nature of heritage, especially through the lens of individuals, local communities, religious groups, and heritage experts. It examines the effect of the internet on heritage-isation, as well as how that process affects different groups of people. Marina Svensson is professor of modern China studies at Lund University.

Farish A. Noor Farish A. Noor By Christine Moll-Murata America’s Encounters with Southeast Asia 1800-1900 State and Crafts in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) Before the Pivot This book, full of quantitative evidence and limited-circulation archives, details manufacturing and the beginnings of industrialisation in China from 1644 to 1911. It thoroughly examines the interior organisation of public craft production and the complementary activities of the private sector. It offers detailed knowledge of shipbuilding and printing. Moreover, it contributes to the research of labour history and the rise of capitalism in China through its examination of living conditions, working conditions, and wages. Christine Moll-Murata is an associate professor of Chinese history at Ruhr-Univesrsität Bochum, Germany. A century before the Philippines came under American control, Americans were already travelling to Southeast Asia regularly. This book looks at the writings of American diplomats, adventurers, and scientists and chronicles how nineteenth-century Americans viewed and imagined Southeast Asia through their own cultural-political lenses. It argues that as Americans came to visit the region they also brought with them a train of cultural assumptions and biases that contributed to the development of American Orientalism in Southeast Asia.

Yeoh Trust and Mistrust in the Economies of the China-Russia Borderlands Asian Migrants and Religious Experience The first English-language book to focus on northeast Sino-Russian border economies, Trust and Mistrust in the Economies of the China-Russia Borderlands examines how trans-border economies function in practice. The authors offer an anthropological understanding of trust in juxtaposition to the economy and the state. They argue that the history of suspicion and the securitised character of the Sino-Russian border mean Typically, scholars approach migrants’ religions as a safeguard of cultural identity, something that connects migrants to their communities of origin. This ethnographic anthology challenges that position by reframing the religious experiences of migrants as a transformative force capable of refashioning narratives of displacement into journeys of spiritual awakening and missionary calling. These essays explore migrants’ that trust is at a premium. The chapters show how diverse kinds of cross-border business manage to operate, often across great distances, despite widespread mistrust.

RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA By Norshahril Saat The State, Ulama and Islam in The State, Ulama and Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia Norshahril Saat The State, Ulama and Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA February 2018 ISBN 9789462982932 e-ISBN 9789048532902 HB, 156 x 234 mm 256 pages, 3 colour illustrations, 3 line art €95.00 / £85.00 The Suharto (1966-98) government of Indonesia and the Mahathir (1981-2003) government of Malaysia both launched Islamisation programmes, upgrading and creating religious institutions. The author argues that, while generally ulamas, or religious teachers, had to support state ideologies, they sometimes succeeded in “capturing” the state by influencing policies in their favour. The author builds his argument on strong fieldwork data, especially interviews, and he engages in critical discussion of comparative politics paradigms and the concept of capture.
