In Memoriam
André Lévy (1925-2017)
We have learned with sorrow of the death at the beginning of October at the age of 91 of André Lévy, eminent Sinologist and great translator of Chinese literature. A. Lévy was a member of the EFEO for eleven years (1958-1969), first at Hanoi where he was responsible for the interim direction up to the closing of the Centre, and then at Kyoto where he settled in 1959, and at Hong Kong from 1966. After a childhood in Tianjin, the city where he was born, he returned to Franc just before the war and as a very young man was a member of the Resistance, after which he continued with his studies in Chinese, Hindi and Sanskrit at Langues O', at the Sorbonne and at the EPHE. He lived in India and Ceylon for two years, employed by CNRS and in the course of his stay by the EFEO, and then decided to specialise in the study of ancient Chinese literature, especially popular novels and stories in the spoken language (see his Études sur le conte et le roman chinois, 1971, EFEO, PEFEO, 82). From 1969 till his retirement he was Professor at the University of Bordeaux, in charge of Chinese studies but responsible too, between 1981 and 1984, for the direction of the unité Asie orientale of the University of Paris-VII. Among his many translations must be remembered the monumental ones of the two famous classics Jin Ping Mei - Fleur en Fiole d'Or (1985, Gallimard, La Pléiade), of which his was the first complete version, and the Xiyou Ji - La pérégrination vers l'Ouest (1991, Gallimard, La Pléiade). He also discovered numerous texts such as those he published in L'Antre aux fantômes des collines de l'Ouest, sept contes chinois anciens, XIIe-XIVe siècles (1972, Gallimard-UNESCO, Connaissance de l'Orient) or Sept victimes pour un oiseau (1981, Flammarion), ancient Chinese judicial stories. Recognized for this work in France and abroad, he received numerous awards; among others, the bronze medal of the CNRS honoured his tireless work as translator and discoverer..

  • Paola Calanca (EFEO), Guillaume Carré (EHESS) and Pierre-Yves Manguin (EFEO) :
- Seminar EHESS L'Asie maritime: pouvoirs et gens de mer
From the 1980s until today, historical studies on maritime Asia have developed a great deal in the West, as much for the Indian Ocean as for the China Seas, and have been crossed by those currents that are still influencing its evolution today. Although these works have made use of the thematics and methodologies already well established in Europe and the United States, they have also often exploited the results of research carried out in Asia since the 1960s which may be considered in more ways than one as pioneering endeavours in maritime, or transnational, history. Nevertheless, these studies have certainly had as axis economic, political or diplomatic exchanges, and entire swathes of this immense domain thus remain to be explored and clarified.
It seems necessary, too, to take up the records of the maritime history of East and South-East Asia before the opium wars, starting with the theme of the appropriation of maritime space by powers of social groups. Taking into account current debates on global history, that relation to the sea will be studied situated in the specific temporal and geographical environments belonging to the different cultural areas of maritime Asia. In an approach that aims at being attentive to developments of local histographies, past and present, we shall begin by looking at maritime populations and coastal territories, the better to understand the relationship local societies and political authorities had with the sea, and the relations of the authorities with the populations that drew their sustenance from the littoral.

From 31st January 2018, Wednesdays from 15H to 17, EHESS (105 bd. Raspail, room 10), 75006.

Séminaires
Monday 6th November Yoon Hyong-jin (Asiatic Research Institute, Korea University) speaks on "Community Organizations in the Colonial East Asia and its legacy: Focused on 'Baojia'" from 11h to 12h30 (entry free).
Maison de l'Asie, 22, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, Grand hall, 1st floor.

Baojia (保甲) had been a traditional Chinese resident organization since the Song Dynasty. However, Baojia was rebuilt into a new system through the Japanese colonial rule of Taiwan. The Governor-General of Taiwan succeeded in stabilizing Taiwan through Baojia, which is a security organization closely connected with the police and operated as an administrative aid organization. The Baojia system of Taiwan was later applied to the Kwantung Leased Territory and Manchukuo and expanded to the northeast of China, and during the Sino-Japanese War, it was transplanted to the puppet governments of the occupied territories. This "Taiwan model" of Baojia spread beyond the boundaries of the Japanese Empire by the introduction of the Baojia system by the Nanjing Nationalist Government in the 1930s. The Nanjing Nationalist Government initially operated Baojia to defeat the Chinese Communist Party in some areas, and later tried to make it a standard resident organization nationwide. Baojia functioned as a mobilizing system during the war. In addition, the experience of operating a standard resident organization through Baojia, which is nominally an autonomous organization, but practically an administrative auxiliary institution, left important legacies in post war regimes.
The l'EFEO Paris seminar takes place on Monday 13th November from 11h to 12h30. Ryosuke Furui (Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, University of Tokyo) speaks on "Changing Structure of Political Powers in South Asia: Bengal from the Fifth to the Thirteenth Century", Maison de l'Asie, 22, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, Grand salon, 1st floor.

Due to the environmental and social diversity of South Asia, where social groups belonging to different levels of material and cultural life have existed synchronically and influenced each other, the historical process concerning the structure of political powers also proceeded in different forms and timeframes in its diverse regions. Each region, on the other hand, saw specific configurations of both internal and external powers and their interactions in its history. Hence the change in the structure of political powers in South Asia can be delineated only in reference to particular region and time, with close focus on the power relations formed and transformed around it. In this lecture, I will discuss the changing structure of political powers in early medieval Bengal, a region in eastern India, and try to show some characteristic of such a process in South Asia in general through this exercise.

This seminar is integrated with Lundis de la Maison de l'Asie and follows the Masters seminar "Asies" (EFEO - EHESS - EPHE) which is on Monday from 9h to 11h, the subject on 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th November is: Orientalisme et sciences sociales
