>
> Please see the following panel abstract:
>
> "India is generally regarded a major recipient of humanitarian and
> development assistance. Recent studies and analyses however draw attention
> to Indias growing importance as humanitarian actor. While still being a
> recipient of development assistance, India increasingly plays an active
> part in humanitarian assistance by channeling funds through multilateral
> organizations and by contributing to policy discussions and innovations.
> At the same time, and in light of the financial crises, traditional donors
> welcome the increasing involvement of non-traditional donors in
> humanitarian assistance.
> Highlighting the shift from recipient to donor, these studies more often
> than not portray India as a new player in the field of humanitarian
> assistance. While Indias engagement in humanitarian assistance has
> certainly taken a new dimension over the last decade, characterized among
> other things by a growing involvement at the international level, Indias
> history and practice of humanitarian assistance has yet to be studied
> systematically. Taking an interdisciplinary and diachronic approach, the
> panel thus explores Indias role in humanitarian assistance from the
> beginning of the 20th century until today. Placing Indias role in
> humanitarian assistance within the broader historical and political
> context, the panel addresses questions regarding the emergence of
> humanitarianism in India, the nature and geographical allocation pattern
> of humanitarian aid over time, and compares Indias role as humanitarian
> actor in the past and present."
>
> We are particular interested in papers dealing with the history of India's
> humanitarian action in the period 1945-1990.
>
> If you are interested, please send us an email or an abstract (150-200
> words). The deadline is 5 Dec. 2013.

10,000 articles now in the open access Pauly-Wissowa

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 04:25 PM PST

The Open Access Pauly-Wissowa Realencyclopaedie has reached the milestone of ten thousand articles, nearly all of them proof-read and interlinked.

See the press release:
  
RE-Projekt auf Wikisource erreicht Meilenstein

Seit fünf Jahren gibt es bei Wikisource ein Projekt zu Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft (RE) mit dem Ziel, die gemeinfreien Artikel dieses Nachschlagewerks online im Volltext verfügbar zu machen. Zwar arbeiten nur wenige Freiwillige daran, aber ihre stete Arbeit hat vor kurzem einen bemerkenswerten Meilenstein erreicht: Mit dem Artikel „Herodes 14ff. (Könige von Judaea)" haben sie 10.000 Artikel transkribiert.

Der Vorteil eines solchen Projekts liegt auf der Hand: Viele RE-Artikel bieten nach wie vor den beste Einstieg und die meisten Details für das jeweilige Thema. Sie sind jedoch nur in öffentlichen Bibliotheken einsehbar, denn kaum eine Privatperson kann sich das teure Lexikon leisten, das von 1893 bis 1980 im Stuttgarter Verlag Metzler erschien und von diesem noch immer vertrieben wird. Die RE-Artikel im Internet sind nicht nur nach Stichworten durchsuchbar, sondern für jeden kostenlos verfügbar. Dabei kann das RE-Projekt selbstverständlich nur gemeinfreie Texte aufnehmen, in der Regel also Texte, deren Autor vor mehr als 70 Jahren verstorben ist. Und das trifft bei der RE bereits auf sehr viele Autoren zu.

Zu den bedeutendsten Artikeln, die bereits auf Wikisource verfügbar sind, zählen die Personenartikel der Epiker Hesiodos, die Tragiker Aischylos [13] und Euripides [4], die Komödiendichter Eupolis [3] und Aristophanes [12], der gleichnamige Philologe [14], der Philosoph Aristoteles [18], die Rhetoren Anaximenes von Lampsakos [3], Annaeus [17] Seneca und Libanios, der Erzbischof Eustathios [18] von Thessalonike, aber auch die Artikel Ackerbau, Athenai [1a], Aushängeschilder, Basilica, Bibliotheken, Bienenzucht, Bier, Bodenkunde, Einbalsamierung, Epistolographie, Hermes Trismegistos, Lehrgedicht, Pilze, Rose, Saiteninstrumente, Schiffahrt, Selbstmord und Stier.

Anders als andere vergleichbare Plattformen im Internet legt Wikisource großen Wert auf die Qualität der dargebotenen Texte. Jeder Text wird mindestens zweimal gegengelesen (der jeweilige Korrekturstand wird auf jeder Seite dargestellt) und zwar auf der Grundlage von Scans des Originals, die jederzeit überprüfbar sind und auf Wikimedia Commons gespeichert werden. Das RE-Projekt nutzt außerdem die Möglichkeiten des WWW, indem es die Stichwörter untereinander verlinkt und jeden Artikel mit Stellenangabe und Autorenkürzel versieht. Ein besonderer Aspekt des Projekts ist, dass hier die zahlreichen RE-Autoren systematisch erfasst und identifiziert werden. Das bio-bibliografische Autorenverzeichnis zählt inzwischen 1111 Einträge und ist zu etwa 70% abgeschlossen. (JG, 29.11.)

Subject: [AASTibet] IATS 2013 panel: Nomads' religious lives

Dear all,

Please find enclosed further information on our panel exploring religious practices in everyday life among nomadic pastoralists in Tibet and neighbouring regions. We welcome participation from anyone on this list, please get in touch if you would like to join us.

Thank you and best wishes,
Nicola Schneider and Gillian G. Tan


Nomads' religious lives
 
This panel examines the various ways that contemporary nomads in Tibet and adjacent communities from Mongolia, Nepal and Ladakh practice everyday religion, including daily ritual practices, the observance of communal festivities and events in the life-cycle, such as coming-of-age, marriages and funerals. Referring to works by Ekvall (1964, 1968) and Norbu (1997 [1959]), as well as to works on nomads in other Inner Asian societies (Humphrey and Sneath 1999), we find that religious practices play an important role in the social relations of nomad communities, in nomads' relationships with animals (curing of disease, protecting animal life, etc.) and in their interactions with the physical environment (mountains, lakes, etc.).

We invite papers that offer insight into these concerns among nomads that are still moving as well as those that have been recently settled. Do physical movements influence how nomads deal with metaphysical concerns? In what ways do religious beliefs influence nomads' attitude to nature and environment? Further, what are the implications of nomadic movements to their participation in religious communities, that is, how do nomads create and maintain religious ties? Who are the religious specialists acting among nomadic communities and by what means are they transmitting knowledge and teachings of Buddhism or Bon religion? Particular attention will also be given to the religious revival that occurred in Tibet in the Post-Mao period asking, for example, if distinct features can be observed among nomadic communities in Tibet when compared to agricultural communities or nomads from other Tibetan speaking areas, such as Nepal and Ladakh.

This panel seeks to contribute to a better comprehension of religious life in contemporary nomadic communities. We welcome contributions that ally research on nomadic communities, traditional as well as those recently settled, and religious life.
