[an error occurred while processing this directive] Narayanan Receives American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship for Research in Cambodia Religion Professor Vasudha Narayanan has received an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) fellowship for 2004-2005. She will receive funding to support her research proposal titled "Churning the Ocean of Story: Retelling Narratives of Hinduism in Cambodia and India." Narayanan has visited ancient sites in Cambodia, such as the Pre Rup Temple in Angkor pictured above, and plans to visit the region again along with the Musee Guimet in Paris, which is known to have one of the best collections of Cambodian art in the world. "Scholars narrate the story of the Hindu tradition as a religion of India without attending to its 1,500 years of dominant presence in Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia," explains Narayanan. "By highlighting aspects of Khmer religion and culture, I argue that portrayals of Hinduism will have to be reassessed by seeing it as a transnational religion in the first millennium CE. I also contend that the Cambodian people exercised considerable agency in the ways in which they transformed practices from the Hindu civilization. These materials have been studied by scholars of art and history but not analyzed from the viewpoint of religion, especially by those familiar with Hinduism." The ACLS was established in 1919 and played a critical role in the establishment of the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1964. It has a membership of 67 national scholarly organizations, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Historical Association and the American Psycholological Association. The fellowships are awarded to scholars in anthropology, classics, history, languages and literatures, musicology, philosophy, political theory and religion. This year, 77 scholars were chosen from 1,200 applications, and only 20 full professors such as Narayanan are chosen each year.

"Facing the Bridge" (Reviewed by Mary Whipple JUL 9, 2007) "The soul itself does not suffer…It appears to be in pain when a new connection forms, an invasion takes place, or a collision occurs." Though the characters of these three mesmerizing novellas are all looking for "bridges," they face personal voids instead, gaps between their perceptions of past and the present, and dislocations in time and place. All are hoping to make true connections which will allow them to resolve the conflicting aspects of their inner lives. Each of the characters has traveled to a new place from the "homeland" where she or he was born, and each now lives in a new culture into which she or he does not quite fit. As these characters deal with the disconnections in their lives, the author creates almost mystical scenes—not quite real and not quite nightmare, with fantasy and reality overlapping, both for the characters and for the reader. The miscommunications and lack of communication that occur among people living in foreign cultures add to the burdens each faces, and as one would expect of these explorations of cultural confusion, each of the novellas ends inconclusively, leaving the "bridges" still to be sought, even by the reader.

Deutsche Version Linda Baur Yoko Tawada: Writing Between Sensual Joy and Theoretical Interest in Language Abstract: Having grown up in Japan, Yoko Tawada now lives and writes in Germany. In her work, lingual and cultural differences between her home country and the place of her writing are turned into a reflexion on the features of language, and on the conditions that enable us to speak and to understand what is said. It is not so much language as a medium for communication that interests Tawada; instead, she emphasizes experiences of failed communication, of irritated perception. Her ethnological literary miniatures more readily illustrate the incircumventable necessity of ascribing meaning than they depict felicitous decipherments of world-symbols. ; for it is language acting as a protagonist, linked with meta-lingual utterances which in turn reference the philosophy of language, that seems to hold greater importance for Tawada than does the function of language as a medium for communication.

Book var addthis_pub = 'jtimes'; Sunday, Sept. 2, 2007 Transcending boundaries with writer Yoko Tawada By DAVID COZY Facing the Bridge For all his originality, Haruki Murakami, in his artful blends of fantasy and the mundane, reminds one of Paul Auster. The other Murakami, Ryu, succeeds in shocking, but he does so in a manner that screams Bret Easton Ellis. When reading Yoko Tawada, on the other hand, though the specter of Franz Kafka flutters, now and then, up from the pages, one is struck less by the resemblance of her fiction to that of other authors than by its utter originality. Those of us illiterate in Japanese and German (she writes in both languages) have, since the publication in 1998 of her first English collection, "The Bridegroom was a Dog," had little chance to enjoy the unique pleasure her sporadically available work affords. The dry years, however, appear to be over. The ever-adventurous publisher New Directions, in "Facing the Bridge" and "Where Europe Begins," has brought us a healthy sampling of Tawada's work, a cornucopia that, as satisfying as it is, will leave us hungry for more. Borders, as translator Margaret Mitsutani notes in her helpful afterword to "Facing the Bridge," have long interested Tawada, and these important and often imaginary lines do provide a useful lens through which to view her work. At the simplest level, Tawada, a longtime resident of Germany, has herself crossed national and linguistic borders, and many of her characters are also engaged in negotiating frontiers.

She writes fiction and poetry as well as drama both in Japanese and German. In her recent title published in 2004, the author wrote it in Japanese and Germany simultaneously. It was a work far beyond translation because no original text existed. Furthermore, its protagonist is the one who doesn’t have command of either Japanese or German. “German is now my daily language, and I can convey my feelings precisely. But when it comes to writing, I still feel restrained. That challenge is interesting.” On the other hand she said “when I come back to Japan to speak in Japanese, I feel as if I am speaking some translated language. While writing in Japanese I would go through the process of rediscovering and rebuilding feelings and memories attached to each word as Japanese.” She continued “Whether to write in German or in Japanese depends on which language lets me play or experiment more freely with images and motifs at the time.” She published thirty titles in Japanese and in German. Two titles were translated and published in English and the third one is forthcoming in spring 2007. Her fiction, poetry, and essays have been translated into Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Hungarian, Italian, Korea, Norwegian, Polish, and Russian. She has also written and produced works for stages.

The "Suddenly Sexy" Debate over International Debt Research Yoko Tawada's Self-Invention: The Legend of a Japanese-German Woman Author Miyako Hayakawa Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1960, Tawada first came to Germany when she was 22 years old, settling in Hamburg. For the past two decades she has been prolific in both Japanese and German, earning critical respect for her writing in both languages. At first she wrote only in Japanese, even when she lived in Germany. Her long-time collaborator and translator, Peter Pörtner, discovered her work in Japan and organized to have her published in German translation. Following the success of her first two books, Tawada began to publish original poetry and prose in German. Today, she is one of the few active authors able to produce literature of an extremely high quality in multiple languages. It is possible to describe her as a translingual author, as she moves agilely between Japanese and German. However, Tawada herself would likely object to such a distinctions, precisely because of her fluid concept of language.
