China is a vast nation comprised of hundreds of distinct ethnic communities, each with its own language, history, and culture. Today the government of China recognizes just 56 ethnic nationalities, ...or minzu, as groups entitled to representation. This controversial new book recounts the history of the most sweeping attempt to sort and categorize the nation's enormous population: the 1954 Ethnic Classification project (minzu shibie). Thomas S. Mullaney draws on recently declassified material and extensive oral histories to describe how the communist government, in power less than a decade, launched this process in ethnically diverse Yunnan. Mullaney shows how the government drew on Republican-era scholarship for conceptual and methodological inspiration as it developed a strategy for identifying minzu and how non-Party-member Chinese ethnologists produced a “scientific” survey that would become the basis for a policy on nationalities.
Emerging over the past ten years from a set of post-structuralist theoretical lineages, non-representational theories are having a major impact within Human Geography. Non-representational ...theorisation and research has opened up new sets of problematics around the body, practice and performativity and inspired new ways of doing and writing human geography that aim to engage with the taking-place of everyday life.
Drawing together a range of innovative contributions from leading writers, this is the first book to provide an extensive and in-depth overview of non-representational theories and human geography. The work addresses the core themes of this still-developing field, demonstrates the implications of non-representational theories for many aspects of human geographic thought and practice, and highlights areas of emergent critical debate. The collection is structured around four thematic sections - Life, Representation, Ethics and Politics - which explore the varied relations between non-representational theories and contemporary human geography.

Ben Anderson reflects on the history and significance of the journal Indonesia, and on his role as a founding editor and then editorial advisor (a position he held until his death in 2015).
landırmaktan kaynaklı milliyetçilik yorumu yapar ve “milliyetçilik, liberalizm, faşizm, gibi olgularla değil de, ‘akrabalık’, ‘din’ gibi olgularla bir arada düşünülürse her şey daha kolay olabilir” ...der. Ve antropolojik bir ruhla şu tanımı önerir: “Ulus hayal edilmiş bir siyasal topluluktur, kendisi aynı zamanda hem egemenlik hem de sınırlılık içkin olacak şekilde hayal edilmiş bir cemaattir” der ve en küçük bir ulusun üyelerinin bile diğer üyeleri tanımadığını söyler (20)

A report on a hill near Situbondo, East Java, featured early in Soetjipto’s autobiography of the early 1930s. Anderson observes that Soetjipto called the hill “Bukit Ulama,” implying that the tombs ...at the top were of orthodox and revered Muslim teachers. But the tombs turn out to contain the remains of immigrant Madurese pioneers, perhaps also minor nobility; and the atmosphere is less Muslim than animist-magical. Includes photographs.
