10Joint Research ProjectsSocial Change and International Relations in Modern East Asia(Coordinator: Nakami, Tatsuo) This project focuses on the utilization of archival sources for historical analyses in studies relating to social change and international relations in East Asia between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries.Under this project, symposia with guest speakers were held twice a year. In July, 2008, an international seminar on “Cultural Hybridity in pre-Second World War’s Harbin” was held.During 2009-10, we continue to discuss the concept of “China” reected in historical sources in East and Inner Asia. We also continue to publish the series of historical materials on East Asia.History of Hill Peoples in the Tay Cultural Area(Coordinator: Daniels, Christian) AIM OF PROJECT: The Tay Cultural Area (TCA) cuts across international boundaries. It extends from Yunnan in the north to Northern Thailand and Laos in the south, to Laichau in Vietnam in the east, and Assam in the west. Its history has been dened by Tay polities which have dominated ethnic groups living on the hilltops as well as those in the basins. In sharp contrast to anthropologists, historians have largely ignored hill peoples in the TCA because they regard them as having made no contribution to the nation building process. As a result, history in the TCA has been written from the standpoint of basin-based Tay political regimes. This project aims to redress this biased view by conceptualizing the history of hill peoples in the TCA as a whole, rather than simply treating each individual ethnic group separately, as has been the case until now. OUTPUT SO FAR: This project has a program to publish Japanese translations of works written in local languages concerning the history, ethnology and languages of the TCA. Publications in 2008-2009 include; Shintani, Tadahiko. History As Told by the Dai; the Senwi and Unpon Sibo Chronicles. Kataoka, Tatsuki (ed.) Lahu Folktales: Myth and Tradition of a Minority People of Burma.Yamada, Atsushi. Memories of Suganli: Oral Traditions of the Wa in Yunnan province, China. Shintani, Tadahiko. The Palaung Language (1) , and Shintani, Tadahiko. The Mun Language of Funing County.Historical Studies on the Persianate Societies(Coordinator: Kondo, Nobuaki) AIM OF PROJECT: The Persianate Societies implies the regions where Modern Persian Languages were used as written and administrative language at least a period of time between the 11th and the 19th Centuries, including Iran, India, Central Asia and Anatolia. The project examines the concept of “the Persianate Societies,” and try to show its merit and demerit in historical studies. OUTPUT SO FAR : The project published three books in 2008-09: 1. Omid Reza’i, Introduction to Shari‘a Documents from Qajar Iran. 2. Timur Beisembiev, Annotated Indices to Kokand Chronicles. 3. Otamis Haji, Cingiz-Nama ed by Takushi Kawaguchi and Hiroyuki Nagamine.
