Himalayan Connections - Panel 6 Visual and Literary Representations

This workshop interrogates the notion of Himalayan Studies writ large, foregrounding connections between academic disciplines, local geographies, and trajectories of study over time. Our collective considerations will highlight links across the landscapes of Himalayan research while considering the often-contested nature of "Himalaya" as an analytical category. We hope this attention to the diverse interests that comprise contemporary Himalayan Studies will lead to new insights and collaborative research platforms. Organized by Andrew Quintman (Religious Studies) and Sara Shneiderman (Anthropology). Participants reflect the multidisciplinary nature of work in the region, including scholars from Asia, Europe, and North America, who together span the academic fields of Anthropology, Art History, Conservation Biology, Development Studies, Environmental Studies, History, Political Science, and Religious Studies. The workshop also includes a broad group of Yale faculty from across the university, representing the departments and schools of Anthropology, Forestry and Environmental Studies, History, History of Art, and Religious Studies. http://himalayanconnections2013.commo... Panel 6 Visual and Literary Representations: What do we see when we look at the Himalaya? What kinds of strategies and techniques have people in the Himalaya used over time to represent themselves, their aspirations, beliefs, identities, etc? How have different disciplines emphasized specific forms of self-representation in their own processes of scholarly representation? What kinds of materials and objects come to the fore and shape both scholarly and popular understandings of the region? What kinds of links or gaps exist between disciplinary approaches to visual, literary, linguistic representation? Chair: Paul Draghi (Yale University) Michael Hutt (SOAS) Rob Linrothe (Northwestern University) Tsering Shakya (University of British Columbia) Respondent: Mimi Yiengpruksawan (Yale University)
