At the suggestion of the EFEO Directorate, the Administrative Council agreed on last January 20 to be in favor of the EFEO's formally joining "Paris Sciences et Lettres" (PSL Research University). For their part, the ComUE and the PSL Foundation provisionally proposed that the EFEO should join them - at first - as an associate member. Beginning this month, therefore, the EFEO is part of this university grouping that brings together several prestigious institutions (the Collège de France, the École normale supérieure, the École des Mines, the University of Paris-Dauphine, the Curie Institute, etc.: see the complete list of members at www.univ-psl.fr). With some of this group we already have longstanding collaborations - especially with the Collège de France, through its Asia institutes. The recent (end of 2014) formal association of the EHESS and the EPHE, and also today's with the École des chartes [School of Charters], lets us envisage within the PSL the formation of an important presence of the humanities and social sciences (till now quite limited) and the development of an Asia nexus in which it is expected that the EFEO would take on a central role and responsibility.

The EFEO Paris Seminar is taking place on Monday, February 9 (11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.): a presentation by François Lachaud (EFEO) on the topic "Moines et vauriens dans le Japon d'Edo: recherches sur l'école zen Fuke [Monks and good-for-nothings in Edo Japan: research on the Fuke Zen school], Maison de l'Asie (22, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, second floor conference room).

Monks and good-for-nothings in Edo Japan (1603-1867): Zen, the indirect descendant of the Chan of the Asian continent, constitutes the Buddhist tradition that contributed most to the spread of Japanese civilization in the West from its first encounters with the Jesuits, after having shaped warrior elites and an urban aristocracy and contributed to the Japanese aesthetic, artistic creation, and "philosophy." With the arrival from China of the Ōbaku school, Zen became also the source of the intellectual and artistic renaissance of the 18th century. Only the Fuke school, a "native-born school" that brought down the wrath of the authorities, rediscovered the oppositional spirit of its origins far outside establishment circles. From its legendary founder, the monk Puhua (ca. 770-840/860) and his Linji Conversations, and moving on to his reprobate "disciples," including unemployed samurai and criminals, the study of this school helps bring to light a misunderstood but essential page in the religious, musical, and artistic history of Japan. It has inspired major figures among modern intellectual dissidents and feeds the popular imagination down to our days. This presentation is based on the study of unpublished documents and meetings with "members" of this school.
